Frequently Asked Questions
Composite or wood — which deck is better for Cape Cod?
Composite costs more up front but shrugs off salt air and needs almost no maintenance. Pressure-treated and cedar cost less but need regular sealing. We build both and will walk you through the trade-offs.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Yes, in most Cape Cod towns. We handle the permitting and build to current code, including the footing and railing requirements inspectors look for.
How long does a deck build take?
Most decks go up in about a week once permits are in hand — larger multi-level designs take longer. Spring books up fast, so plan ahead.
Can you repair or rebuild an existing deck?
Yes. Sometimes new decking and railings over a sound frame is all you need; if the structure is failing, we'll show you what a rebuild looks like. Free honest assessments.
