Frequently asked
Wood or composite — which is better?+
Both have their place. Wood costs less up front; composite costs more but skips the staining and lasts longer. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs.
Do decks need a permit?+
Yes, decks require a permit and inspection in our area — we handle both as part of the project.
Can you screen in an existing deck?+
Often yes, if the structure is sound. We assess it and design a porch that ties into your home.
Do you give itemized estimates for a deck or porch?+
Yes. Every estimate is free and itemized, with a clear breakdown of costs and materials, so there are no surprises. Eric reviews each request personally and typically responds within one business day.

Chelmsford, including North Chelmsford, and the five towns that border it: Lowell, Westford, Tyngsborough, Billerica and Carlisle. We keep our work close to home so Eric can be on site every day.
