Decks
Deck building and repair in Walpole, MA
Framing, composite and wood decking, railings and stairs. Built from the footings up, permitted and inspected.
What’s included
Layout and permits
We set out the deck, handle the permit and have the utilities marked before digging.
Footings and posts
Dug below frost depth, inspected, then poured. Posts sit on standoff bases.
Ledger
Flashed and bolted to the house, or a free-standing frame where the wall is not sound.
Beams and joists
Sized for the span, with blocking at the bearing points.
Decking
Pressure-treated, composite, PVC or hardwood, fastened with the right hardware.
Railings
Posts bolted through the framing, at code height and spacing.
Stairs
Even risers, a solid landing and a graspable handrail.
Composite deck in Chestnut Hill
- Composite deck boards: no staining, no splinters.
- Board ends staggered and joined over the framing.

Common questions
Almost always, yes. The permit is part of the job. Expect inspections at the footings, the frame and the end.
Pressure-treated costs less and can be stained, but needs sealing every couple of years. Composite costs more and needs washing, not sealing.
Sometimes. The frame, ledger and joist spacing have to be sound and suit the new boards. We check first.
