Long-term deck problems often result from:
We evaluate soil conditions, existing structures, elevation, and load requirements to determine the safest and most appropriate deck design.
Framing layout, fastening systems, drainage, material selection, and all required permits are planned before construction begins.
Work areas are prepared and protected to maintain safety, organization, and respect for the property.
Our in-house carpentry crews build the deck under active supervision, ensuring proper installation at every structural connection.
We complete a final inspection to confirm structural integrity, finish quality, and code compliance.
Across Cape Cod, we frequently dismantle decks that suffer from critical structural failures, often stemming from improper footings, undersized framing, or ledger boards installed without flashing. While these decks may pass a visual check initially, the harsh coastal environment exposes these shortcuts within a decade, leading to dangerous settling, loose guardrails, and hidden rot where the deck meets the house. In many cases, this “invisible” ledger failure silently compromises the structure until a complete, expensive reconstruction is the only option.
At Lions Siding & Roofing, we prioritize structure over speed. We excavate footings below the frost line to prevent heaving and install rigorous flashing to protect your home from rot. By strictly following building codes, we ensure your deck remains a stable, permanent retreat rather than a future liability.
