How Much Does a New Deck Cost on the South Shore?
A new deck is one of the best ways to add space to your home. But the first question most people ask is simple: what will it cost?
The honest answer is that it depends. Here is what moves the price up or down.
Size and shape
A bigger deck uses more material and more labor. A simple square deck costs less than one with curves, levels, or built-in benches. If you want to keep the price down, keep the shape simple.
The material you pick
Pressure-treated wood costs the least up front. Composite costs more but needs almost no upkeep, which can save you money over the years. We will walk you through both so you can pick what fits your home and your budget.
The site and the footings
Decks near the coast need proper footings set below the frost line. If your yard slopes or the soil is soft, the footings take more work. We always flash the ledger board where the deck meets your house, because that one step keeps water out of your walls for years.
Permits
Most new decks in Massachusetts need a permit. We hold a Construction Supervisor License, so we pull the permit and handle the inspection for you.
