A finished composite deck with white railing, looking out over the yard, built by Dream Builders in Endicott

Decks built to stand on for twenty summers

New builds framed properly, and tired decks taken back to the frame instead of boarded over again.

It starts underneath

A deck is only as good as the frame under it.

Boards are the part you see. The part that fails is usually below them.

  • Footings set right — below the frost line, not sitting on the lawn.
  • Ledger flashed — where the deck meets the house, water gets sent out.
  • Joists at the right span — no bounce halfway across.
  • Railings you can lean on — posts anchored, not screwed to a rim board.

The usual calls

Four ways a deck job starts

Most of them begin with a board that flexed underfoot.

  1. A deck from nothing

    Laid out, footed, framed and boarded — sized to the door it comes off.

  2. Good frame, bad boards

    Reboarded and re-railed over a frame with plenty of life left.

  3. The whole thing has gone

    Out, and built again properly instead of patched another season.

  4. Steps and railings

    The two parts people put their weight on, made right.

Around the deck

The rest of the outside gets sorted too.

Steps, railings, a rotted door frame, siding that got knocked about — same visit, same crew.

  • Steps and landingsRebuilt at a rise you do not have to think about.
  • Rotted timberCut out and replaced instead of filled and painted.
  • Doors and trimSet square so they close the way they should.
