Transform your outdoor space into the retreat you’ve always wanted. From Trex composite to premium natural hardwoods, we design and build custom decks that reflect your taste, fit your home, and stand up to New England’s toughest weather. 5-star rated, locally owned, and focused on craftsmanship that lasts.
After building decks with every material on the market, we recommend Trex composite decking for most North Shore homeowners. Trex delivers the rich look of real wood without the constant upkeep — no sanding, staining, or painting, year after year. It’s engineered to resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold, and it’s backed by a 25-year limited residential warranty.
Whether you want a low-maintenance composite deck for weekend barbecues or a stunning natural hardwood deck that makes a statement, we bring expert craftsmanship and attention to detail to every build.
The modern choice for homeowners who want a beautiful deck without the constant upkeep. Composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators, and Fiberon is engineered to look like real wood while resisting everything New England throws at it — moisture, UV, insects, and freeze-thaw cycles. No more weekends spent sanding and staining. Just enjoy your outdoor space. Trex is our go-to recommendation for most projects, offering the widest color palette, the strongest warranty, and proven performance in our climate.
For homeowners who want the warmth, character, and beauty that only real wood can deliver. We build with premium natural hardwoods including Ipe (Brazilian Walnut), Cedar, Redwood, and exotic species like Mahogany — each with its own unique grain, color, and personality. Natural wood decks require more maintenance than composite (annual staining or oiling), but the aesthetic payoff is unmatched. Ipe in particular is one of the hardest and most durable woods on the planet — it can last 50+ years with proper care. Whatever your vision, we can source and build it.
If you can envision it, we can build it. Custom design is one of our specialties. We work with you from the first concept through the final walkthrough to create an outdoor space that reflects your unique taste and fits your home’s architecture. Multi-level decks, wraparound layouts, built-in benches and planters, pergola integrations, lighting, staircase systems — we handle designs of nearly any complexity. Your outdoor space should be an extension of your home, not an afterthought. We make sure it feels that way.
Not every deck needs a full rebuild. Warped boards, loose railings, structural concerns, weathered surfaces, or an outdated design can often be addressed with targeted repairs or a renovation that gives your existing deck new life. We assess the condition of your deck honestly — if repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If a rebuild is the better investment, we’ll explain why. We can also convert an old wood deck to composite by replacing the decking boards while keeping a sound frame, saving you money on a full tear-down.
Every decking material has strengths. Here’s an honest comparison to help you choose the right option for your North Shore home.

Answers to the questions we hear most from North Shore homeowners planning a deck project.
Trex composite decking offers the best combination of beauty, durability, and low maintenance for North Shore homeowners. It resists fading, staining, scratching, and mold — and it never needs sanding, staining, or painting. Trex is backed by a 25-year limited residential warranty, and its wide range of colors and grain patterns gives you the look of real wood without the upkeep. While we install every major composite brand including TimberTech, Deckorators, and Fiberon, Trex consistently delivers the best value for most projects.
Most residential deck projects take 1–3 weeks depending on size, design complexity, and permitting timelines. A straightforward replacement deck on an existing frame may take 5–7 days, while a custom multi-level deck with built-in features takes longer. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your estimate and keep you informed throughout the build.
Composite decking (like Trex) is made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic polymers. It requires virtually no maintenance — no sanding, staining, or sealing — and resists fading, rot, and insects. Natural wood (Ipe, Cedar, Redwood) offers unmatched warmth and natural beauty but requires regular maintenance including annual staining or oiling. Composite costs more upfront but saves significantly over time on maintenance. Natural wood costs vary widely — Cedar is moderate while Ipe and exotic hardwoods are premium.
