We don't guess on footings. Whether we’re dealing with the clay-heavy soil of West Barnstable or the sand of Centerville, we utilize helical piles or deep-poured concrete sonotubes to ensure your deck never heaves or settles.
We apply protective flashing tape to the top of every joist. This prevents "top-rot" where moisture usually gets trapped between the board and the frame, doubling the life of your structure.
Coastal winds in Barnstable can create "sway." We install advanced tension ties and lateral load connectors that lock your deck into your home’s rim joist, creating a single, immovable unit.
We exclusively use 316 Stainless Steel hidden fasteners and hardware. In Barnstable’s salt-heavy atmosphere, this is the only way to prevent "bleeding" rust stains and structural corrosion.
In wooded areas like Osterville, we design for maximum under-deck ventilation. This prevents the "green mold" buildup on the underside of your boards, keeping your deck cooler and drier year-round.
We Handle the Red Tape. Building near the water in Barnstable requires navigating complex “Notice of Intent” filings and Conservation Commission hearings.
