What We Build

Decks designed for how you actually live outside

Every deck we build starts with a conversation about how you want to use the space. Grilling? Dining? Hot tub? Outdoor kitchen? Quiet morning coffee? The layout, materials, and details flow from how you'll actually live on it — not from a generic template.

We work with all standard deck materials and stay current on what's actually durable in New England's freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and summer humidity. Most homeowners across our coverage area — Greater Boston, MetroWest, and southern New Hampshire — end up choosing one of three options:

Composite decking (Trex, Azek, TimberTech)

Capped composite is our most-requested deck material. It doesn't splinter, doesn't need annual staining, and holds its color for 20+ years under New England sun. Available in everything from warm browns and gray weathered tones to deep slate and bleached driftwood looks. Costs more upfront than wood but pays back in maintenance savings over the life of the deck.

Pressure-treated and cedar wood

Pressure-treated pine is the most budget-friendly real-wood option and the standard for framing. For the deck surface itself, we also install western red cedar (naturally rot- and insect-resistant) and Ipe or mahogany hardwoods for premium projects. Wood decks need staining or sealing every 2-3 years to keep their look.

Railings, stairs, and lighting

We install white vinyl railings with black aluminum balusters (the New England standard), cable rail systems for unobstructed views, glass panel rails for modern homes, and traditional wood balusters. Built-in LED post-cap lights, recessed step lights, and overhead string-light wiring are common upgrades that change how the deck feels at night.

Pergolas, screens, and outdoor kitchens

For homeowners wanting more than a deck, we also build attached pergolas (with retractable shade canopies if desired), screen-in additions, built-in benches with hidden storage, outdoor kitchens with gas line connections, and integrated fire-pit installations.

Deck Building FAQs

How much does a new deck cost in Massachusetts?

Most deck projects in Greater Boston range from $18,000 (smaller pressure-treated builds) to $55,000+ (large multi-level composite decks with built-in features). A typical 400-square-foot composite deck with railings and stairs falls between $28,000 and $40,000.

How long does a deck build take?

From signed contract to final inspection: typically 4–8 weeks. Permits take 1–2 weeks. Demo (if removing an old deck) is 1–2 days. Footings and framing are 1 week. Decking surface, railings, stairs, and finishing details take another 1–2 weeks.

Composite or wood — which should I pick?

If you want lower maintenance and 25-year color retention, composite. If you want a lower upfront cost and don't mind staining every 2–3 years, cedar or pressure-treated wood. We walk through both options with sample boards during the in-home estimate.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. Every deck above 30 inches off the ground requires a building permit in Massachusetts. We handle the application, structural plans, and inspections as part of every project.
