Custom Deck & Porch Construction in Massachusetts

Why Add a Deck or Porch?

A well-designed deck or porch dramatically increases your usable living space, providing the perfect area for entertaining, family gatherings, or quiet relaxation. It extends your home outdoors, creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, and adds significant value to your property.

Modern decking materials offer incredible durability and low maintenance. Composite decking resists rot, insects, and fading while requiring minimal upkeep. Pressure-treated lumber provides affordability with good longevity. Both options can be customized with built-in seating, planters, lighting, and pergolas to create your ideal outdoor retreat.

Professional construction ensures your deck or porch is safe, code-compliant, and built to last. Proper foundation, framing, and drainage are essential for longevity in Massachusetts weather. Our builders understand local building codes, weather considerations, and design principles that maximize both beauty and functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Deck costs typically range from $25-$60 per square foot installed, depending on materials and features. A 12x16 deck (192 sq ft) might cost $5,000-$12,000. Composite decking costs more than pressure-treated wood but requires less maintenance. Porches with roofs cost more than open decks. We provide detailed estimates based on your specific design.

Both have advantages. Composite decking costs more initially but requires virtually no maintenance, never needs staining or sealing, resists rot and insects, and lasts 25-30+ years. Pressure-treated wood costs less initially, has a traditional look, but requires regular staining/sealing and lasts 15-20 years. We help you choose based on your priorities.

In Massachusetts, most decks require building permits, especially those over 30 inches high or attached to your home. Permits ensure your deck meets safety and building codes. We handle all permit applications and required inspections, ensuring your deck is fully compliant and insurable.

Most residential decks take 1-2 weeks to complete from start to finish, depending on size, complexity, and weather.
