About This Service
A well-designed deck extends your home's living space into the outdoors, creating the perfect spot for family dinners, summer barbecues, and quiet morning coffee. At Faithful Build, we design and build custom decks that enhance your home's beauty while providing years of enjoyment.
Whether you're dreaming of a simple platform deck off your back door or an elaborate multi-level deck with built-in seating and pergolas, we bring your vision to life with expert craftsmanship. We've built hundreds of decks throughout Massachusetts, and we understand what works in our climate.
Every deck project begins with understanding how you'll use the space. Do you entertain frequently? Need space for outdoor dining? Want built-in seating or planters? Considering a hot tub? We design decks that accommodate your lifestyle and complement your home's architecture.
One of the most important decisions is choosing between wood and composite decking. Pressure-treated lumber offers natural beauty at a lower cost but requires regular maintenance. Composite decking costs more initially but provides a low-maintenance alternative that resists fading, staining, and splintering. We'll help you weigh the options based on your budget and maintenance preferences.
Our deck construction follows proven techniques using proper footings, engineered beams and joists, and quality fasteners that resist corrosion. We pay careful attention to proper flashing where the deck connects to your house, preventing water intrusion and damage. All work meets or exceeds local building codes.
We can incorporate many features into your deck including multiple levels for visual interest, built-in benches and planters, decorative railings, under-deck lighting, pergolas for shade, and stairs with attractive stringers and railings.
The result is a beautiful outdoor space that adds value to your home and becomes your family's favorite gathering spot. All our deck work is backed by our commitment to quality and our workmanship warranty.
What's Included
Our Process
Consultation and Design
We meet at your home to discuss your deck vision, take measurements, and assess your yard's layout. Together we'll explore size options, level configurations, railing styles, and material choices that fit your budget and preferences.
Planning and Permitting
Our team creates detailed deck plans showing layout, dimensions, materials, and all structural details. We submit permit applications and handle approvals. We'll finalize all material selections and provide a comprehensive quote.
Site Preparation
We mark the deck location and prepare the site. Footings are dug and concrete is poured to create solid foundations that extend below frost line. We ensure proper spacing and alignment.
Framing and Structure
Once footings are set, we install posts, beams, and joists following engineered specifications. Ledger boards are properly flashed and attached to your home. All structural work is inspected and approved.
Decking and Railings
Decking boards are installed with proper spacing and fasteners. Railings, balusters, and post caps are installed. Built-in features like benches or planters are constructed. Stairs are built and finished.
Finishing Touches
For wood decks, we apply stain or sealer. Lighting is installed if included. We clean up thoroughly, review maintenance requirements, and ensure you're delighted with your new outdoor space.
