Is your deck showing its age? Are you dreaming of a safer, more beautiful outdoor space? At Advanced Deck & Porch, serving Boston, Greater Boston, and MetroWest, we specialize in deck replacement Boston, helping homeowners like you revitalize their properties and enjoy the outdoors to the fullest.
Why Choose Deck Replacement?
Over time, decks can deteriorate due to weather exposure, insect damage, and general wear and tear. Ignoring these problems can lead to safety hazards and decreased property value. A deck replacement addresses these issues head-on, providing a solid, aesthetically pleasing outdoor living space. We offer comprehensive deck rebuilds to homeowners throughout Newton, Brookline, Wellesley, and all of Greater Boston.
Here are some signs your deck might need replacing:
- Rotting wood
- Loose or wobbly railings
- Sagging or uneven surfaces
- Excessive cracking or splintering
- Termite or insect infestation
Navigating Deck Replacement in the Boston Area
Deck replacement in Boston and the surrounding areas requires special consideration. Our varying elevations, proximity to older structures, and harsh weather conditions demand a meticulous approach. We understand the unique challenges of working on decks in towns like Weston, Westwood, Lexington, Needham, and Natick.
Key considerations include:
- Proper Framing: The foundation of any durable deck is its framing. We use high-quality lumber and precise construction techniques to ensure your new deck is structurally sound and built to last.
- Material Choices: We offer a range of decking materials, including pressure-treated wood and composite decking. Pressure-treated lumber is a cost-effective option that resists rot and insects. Composite decking offers enhanced durability, low maintenance, and a wide variety of colors and textures. We’ll help you choose the best material for your budget and aesthetic preferences in areas like Wayland, Bedford and Burlington.
- Weather Exposure: Boston’s winters and humid summers can take a toll on decks. We use weather-resistant materials and construction techniques to minimize the impact of the elements, ensuring your deck stays beautiful for years to come.
- Existing Structures: Many decks in Boston are attached to existing homes or structures. We carefully assess these connections to ensure they are secure and compatible with the new deck.
- Seasonal Planning: We work with you to plan your deck replacement project to minimize disruption and take advantage of favorable weather conditions.
Deck Safety: Railings and Stairs
Safety is paramount when it comes to deck replacement. We pay close attention to deck railings and stairs to ensure they meet all safety codes and provide secure access to your outdoor space. We provide secure and beautiful railing and stair solutions to all towns in MetroWest, including Billerica, Quincy, Braintree and Weymouth.
Railing considerations include:
- Height: Railings must be of sufficient height to prevent falls.
- Strength: Railings must be strong enough to withstand pressure.
- Spacing: Railing spindles or balusters must be spaced close enough to prevent children from squeezing through.
Stair considerations include:
- Consistent Rise and Run: All steps should have the same height (rise) and depth (run) to prevent tripping hazards.
- Handrails: Stairs should have sturdy handrails for support.
- Proper Lighting: Adequate lighting is essential for safe stair use at night.
We are experienced in front porch construction and porch repairs as well. No matter what size of project you are considering, we are happy to help homeowners in Milton, Canton and Norwood.
Permits and Regulations
Depending on the scope of your deck replacement project and your local building codes, you may need to obtain permits before starting work. We are familiar with the permitting process in Boston and surrounding towns like Acton, and we can help you navigate the necessary paperwork. It’s important to remember that requirements can vary, so it’s always best to check with your local building department.
While we cannot handle the permits directly, we will provide all necessary documentation and support to ensure a smooth and compliant process.
