Decks, Stairs and Railings Built to Last Outdoors

A deck in New England takes a beating: snow load, freeze and thaw, summer sun and constant moisture. How it is framed, flashed and fastened matters far more than the boards you see on top.

We build new decks and exterior stairs and repair existing ones, from replacing worn boards and loose railings to rebuilding stairs. The same attention to joints and details that goes into interior finish work goes into the parts of a deck you look at every day.

Deck Building and Repair: What to Expect

What is included

  • New deck construction in pressure-treated wood, cedar or composite
  • Deck stairs and landings
  • Railings, balusters and posts
  • Replacing worn or damaged deck boards
  • Fascia, skirting and lattice
  • Repairs to loose, sagging or wobbly decks

How we do it

We look at how the deck will be used and at the site: height off the ground, the attachment to the house and drainage. Framing is built on proper footings, the ledger is flashed where it meets the house, and structural connections are made with hardware rated for exterior use. Decking is laid with consistent gaps, and stairs and railings are built to be solid underfoot and in the hand.

What affects the cost

Every estimate is based on your project. The main factors are:

  • The size of the deck and its height off the ground
  • Decking material: pressure-treated, cedar or composite
  • Stairs, landings and the length of railing
  • Repair versus full rebuild, and the condition of the existing framing
  • Site access and removal of an old deck

Deck Building and Repair Questions, Answered

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

In most towns a new deck, or a rebuild of the structure, requires a building permit, and rules vary from town to town. Your local building department has the final word. We can tell you what is typically needed and provide the project details for the application.

Wood or composite decking: which is better?

Pressure-treated wood costs less up front and needs regular sealing or staining. Composite costs more, does not need staining and resists rot and splinters. Cedar sits in between and has a natural look. The right choice depends on budget and how much upkeep you want.

Can you repair my deck instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. If the framing is sound, worn boards, railings and stairs can be replaced without rebuilding the whole deck. If the framing or the attachment to the house is rotted or undersized, rebuilding is the safer option, and we will tell you which applies.

What time of year do you build decks?

Spring through fall is the main season. Repairs and smaller projects can often be done in milder winter weather, depending on ground conditions.
