Massachusetts weather is hard on decks. Years of rain, snow and freeze-thaw cycles can rot boards and joists, loosen railings and corrode fasteners, especially where the deck attaches to the house.
We start with a careful inspection of the structure, not just the surface. If the frame is sound, resurfacing with new decking and railings can save money. If the ledger, joists, posts or footings are failing, we explain the risks and quote a full replacement built to current code.
Fixing rot, loose connections and failing railings protects your family and guests.
If the frame is sound, resurfacing can cost much less than a full rebuild.
Replace worn wood with low-maintenance composite or PVC decking and railings.
Replacement decks are built to the current building code with permits and inspections.
Cracked, rotted or splintered deck boards replaced and fastened securely.
Damaged joists, beams, posts and ledger connections repaired or reinforced.
New decking, fascia and railings installed over a sound existing frame.
Wobbly railings and worn stairs rebuilt to be safe and solid.
Old deck removed and hauled away, then a new deck built from the footings up.
Lattice or PVC skirting and trim to close in the space under raised decks.
We check the ledger, joists, beams, posts, footings, stairs and railings, and probe for rot and loose connections.
You get a clear explanation of what we found and whether repair, resurfacing or full replacement makes the most sense.
Damaged framing, posts and connections are repaired or replaced and permits are pulled when the work requires them.
New decking, stairs or railings are installed as planned, the site is cleaned up and we review the work with you.
Warning signs include soft or spongy boards, rot in joists or posts, a ledger pulling away from the house, rusted connectors, wobbly railings and footings that have shifted. We inspect the structure and give you an honest recommendation.
Only if the frame is in good condition and the joist spacing works for the new decking. Composite often needs closer joist spacing than wood. We check this before recommending resurfacing.
Small repairs and resurfacing are usually less expensive. When the structure has widespread rot or does not meet code, replacement is often the better long-term investment and the safer choice.
Simple board replacement usually does not, but structural repairs, resurfacing and full replacements often do. Requirements vary by town, and we handle the permit when one is needed.
