How we approach it
Atlantic weather is hard on outdoor wood. We size footings below frost, use corrosion-resistant fasteners and leave proper gaps so your deck drains and breathes. Rebuilds and resurfacing over sound framing are both options.
Scope, step by step
Site & design
Measure, check setbacks and height, choose decking, railing and stair layout.
Footings & frame
Footings to frost depth, ledger flashing, joists and beams sized for the span.
Decking & rails
Decking, stairs, railings and guards installed to code height.
Finish
Fascia, skirting options, clean-up and care instructions.

Questions about decks
Do I need a permit for my deck?
Many decks do, depending on height, size and location on the lot. We'll check the current rules with the municipality and prepare the drawings.
Composite or pressure-treated?
Pressure-treated costs less up front; composite costs more but needs far less maintenance. We price both so you can compare.
