Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new deck cost in the Boston area?
Deck costs vary significantly based on size, materials, site conditions, and design complexity. Composite decks typically cost more upfront than pressure-treated wood but require far less maintenance over time. We provide a detailed, itemized written estimate after an on-site visit — we don't give rough ballpark numbers over the phone, because an estimate without seeing your yard isn't worth trusting. Contact us to schedule a free on-site evaluation.
What composite deck brands do you recommend?
We work with Trex®, TimberTech®, and AZEK®, among others. Trex is excellent for value and color selection, TimberTech for texture and warranty coverage, and AZEK for maximum moisture resistance. We'll help you compare options based on your specific situation at the estimate visit.
Do I need a permit for a new deck in Massachusetts?
In most Greater Boston communities — including Cambridge, Newton, Brookline, and Wellesley — a building permit is required for new deck construction. The permit process ensures your deck meets Massachusetts 780 CMR building code standards for structural safety, ledger attachment, and railing height. We handle the documentation review and coordination with your local building department.
How long does a deck build typically take?
Most residential deck projects take between 3 and 10 business days to complete, depending on size, material, and weather. We'll give you a more accurate timeline during the estimate visit once we've assessed your specific project.
Are you licensed and insured in Massachusetts?
Yes — Advanced Deck & Porch is fully licensed and insured to perform construction work in Massachusetts. Proof of license and insurance is available upon request.
What areas in Greater Boston do you serve?
We serve Cambridge, Newton, Brookline, Wellesley, Somerville, Quincy, Needham, and surrounding MetroWest communities. Call (857) 837-2100 to confirm coverage in your specific town.
Can you build a deck on a sloped yard?
Yes. Sloped or irregular terrain is common in Greater Boston, and we have extensive experience building decks on hillside lots, uneven grades, and properties with limited access. We assess site conditions at the on-site estimate to determine the right structural approach.
How do I maintain a composite deck?
Composite decking is low-maintenance by design. Basic care involves periodic cleaning with soap and water or a composite-safe cleaner to remove dirt, pollen, and organic buildup. Unlike wood, composite doesn't need to be stained, sealed, or sanded. We provide maintenance guidelines after every install.
Do you handle deck repairs and rebuilds, or only new construction?
We handle the full range — new deck builds, partial repairs, full structural rebuilds, stair replacement, and railing upgrades. If you're not sure whether your existing deck needs a repair or a full replacement, we can assess it during the estimate visit.
What warranty do you offer?
We offer a workmanship warranty on all our installations. Composite materials from Trex®, TimberTech®, and AZEK® often come with 25–50 year manufacturer warranties against fading and staining.
