ENGINEERED DECK CONSTRUCTION IN BARNSTABLE. WHERE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY MEETS COASTAL LIFESTYLE

From the historic elevations of Barnstable Village to the salt-sprayed shores of Hyannis Port, we don’t just build “platforms”, we engineer outdoor living spaces that stand the test of time and tide.

THE "WOBBLY DECK" SYNDROME & THE BARNSTABLE CLIMATE TRAP

Why Standard Decking Fails in Our Town
Barnstable is a town of micro-climates. A deck built in the wind-swept dunes of Sandy Neck faces entirely different stressors than one tucked into the humid, wooded lots of Marstons Mills.
Most contractors use “generic” framing techniques. In Barnstable, this leads to:
We see decks every year that look “pretty” on top but are structurally compromised underneath. A deck should be a sanctuary, not a liability.

THE LIONS "FORTIFIED FRAME" DECKING PROTOCOL

How we customize the Lions Standard for Barnstable’s geography:

Site-Specific Foundation Evaluation

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.

The "Lions" Joist Armor

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.

Lateral Load Stress Defense

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.

Marine-Grade Fastening Systems

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.

Elevation & Airflow Optimization

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.

BEYOND THE SURFACE: THE "MOISTURE SANDWICH" DANGER

We often see Harwich homeowners who want to “just put new composite over the old wood.” We strictly advise against this unless the frame is pristine. Placing modern, non-breathable composite over an aging, damp wood frame creates a “moisture sandwich” that accelerates rot. At Lions, we provide a transparent assessment of your sub-structure. If the bones aren’t good, we won’t put a new skin on them. It is about honesty and your family’s safety.

Yuri, my whole career has been spent in the construction business. I am particularly impressed by your company. From sales and estimating through scheduling and field coordinating all of your assets have been far above average. Ty made a great presentation as a sales representative of your company and Iago supervised a very competent crew, responded to my concerns about schedule and finished this job early with little interruption in our lives. Thank you again for your excellent service.

Ty Soares, who works for this company, is a kind individual, a man who can be relied on and trusted. He found me stranded and lost with my two dogs in a conservation area parking lot and took time out of his busy day to give my dogs water and he drove me and my dogs to my car which was a few miles away. I am getting an estimate for new windows from this company because if their employees are like Ty, that is who I want to do business with.

Thanks to Yuri, Ty, Gabriel and the entire Lions Roofing Team for an amazing job installing our new roof. From start to finish, this is a first class company that makes sure they deliver what they promise and that the customer is satisfied when the job is complete. Ty did a thorough pre-inspection of both the inside and outside of the roof area, eaves ridge and gutters. The written quote was one of the best I've ever received and they provided copies of their insurance and license for piece of mind. Project Manager Gabriel was on site before, during and after completion, and always available to answer any questions. The overall job was completed in one day, with a follow-up day for a couple of hours to finish a couple of additional requests I had. One point I must bring up was how clean the job site was after they were done. If you have any roofing or siding projects coming up. I give my endorsement to Lions Siding and Roofing! Thanks again!

The staff (sales, project manager, owner) were phenomenal. They were courteous, thorough, and very customer focused. Their prices were competitive, but what set them apart was their customer touch. I highly recommend them.

Lions roofing did a wonderful job replacing my roof and installing two new skylights. They were efficient and extremely conscientious about protecting landscaping and cleaning up each day after work. Yuri was readily available for whatever questions I had. I would recommend this company without reservation.
