Home / Decks & Exterior

Decks, porches,
and everything outside.

Composite, PVC, and pressure-treated builds with framing you would be happy to look at even if it were never covered.

EXTERIOR

New England weather is the real client on an exterior job. Everything we build outside gets detailed for water first — flashing, drainage, fastener choice, and ledger connections done to code — because that is what decides whether a deck lasts eight years or twenty-five.

Where decks fail. The ledger connection and the footing depth decide whether a deck lasts eight years or thirty. Neither is visible once the boards go down.

New decks

Composite, PVC, or pressure-treated, from a simple platform off a slider to a multi-level build with picture framing and hidden fasteners. Proper footings, code-compliant ledger attachment, and framing spaced for the decking you actually chose.

Stairs & railings

Even rise and run, solid landings, and railings that pass inspection and do not wobble in year three. Cable, composite, aluminum, or built wood — your call.

Porches & pergolas

Screened porches, roof structures, pergolas, and privacy walls. Shade and shelter that look like part of the house rather than something bolted on.

Repair & rebuild

Sometimes the framing is fine and the surface is shot — that is a resurface, not a teardown, and it costs a fraction. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.

Stairs

The part inspectors measure first

Uneven risers are the most common defect in site-built stairs, and the most common cause of a trip on a deck.

Rise and run. Uneven risers are the most common trip hazard in site-built stairs, and the first thing an inspector measures.

Common questions

Before you ask

Composite or pressure-treated?
Composite costs more up front and gives you back the weekends you would spend sanding and staining. Pressure-treated is cheaper to build and cheaper to replace. We price both when it is a close call.
Do decks need a permit?
In most towns here, yes — anything attached to the house or above a certain height. We handle the application and inspections.
When should we book?
Deck season fills early. Spring builds are usually booked by late winter, so reaching out off-season gets you the date you want.
