Our Services
Full-service deck building for Watertown homes. We handle everything from design through completion with quality you can count on.
Building Smart in Watertown's Compact Spaces
Watertown homes often sit on smaller lots than neighboring towns, especially in the denser neighborhoods between Mount Auburn Street and Arsenal Street. That does not mean you cannot have a great deck. It just means we need to be strategic about design and placement.
Many Watertown properties have three-season porches or existing structures we need to work around. We excel at creating custom deck solutions that fit your specific space constraints while giving you maximum usable outdoor area.
Your neighbors are close in Watertown, so privacy matters. We incorporate privacy screens, smart railing designs, and strategic placement to create outdoor spaces where you can relax without feeling like you are on display.
Working With Watertown's Older Homes
Many Watertown homes date back to the early 1900s, which brings unique considerations for deck construction. Your foundation might be fieldstone or older concrete. Your back door might not be at the ideal height. Your yard might have drainage issues from decades of settlement.
We handle these challenges every week. We know how to connect new decks to older homes properly, ensuring weather-tight seals and structural integrity. We work with your home's quirks instead of fighting against them.
If your current deck is rotting or unsafe, replacement makes sense before someone gets hurt. We see too many dangerous decks in Watertown that should have been rebuilt years ago.
Access and Logistics in Watertown
Getting materials to your backyard can be tricky in Watertown. Narrow driveways, shared property lines, and limited street parking mean we need to plan our work carefully. We have been doing this for years, so we know how to get the job done without creating problems for you or your neighbors.
We protect your existing landscaping and hardscaping during construction. Your brick walkway or stone patio matters to us as much as it does to you. When we finish, your yard looks great, not like a construction zone.
Watertown requires building permits for most deck projects, and inspections happen at specific stages. We handle all of that for you, scheduling everything to keep your project moving forward. You never have to deal with the town building department directly.
Our Process
Here is how we work with Watertown homeowners to create the perfect deck.
Initial Consultation
We visit your Watertown property to assess your space and discuss your vision. We measure everything carefully, check access points, and identify any challenges like tight spaces or elevation changes. Then we create a design that maximizes your usable outdoor area while fitting your budget. You see exactly what you are getting before we start any work.
Materials That Work in Urban Settings
Watertown sits close to Boston, which means your deck gets urban pollution, road salt spray in winter, and higher moisture levels than suburban areas. The materials we use need to handle these conditions without constant maintenance.
Composite decking makes particular sense in Watertown because it resists moisture, does not rot, and cleans easily. With limited yard space, you want to spend your time enjoying your deck, not scraping and staining it every year.
That said, some homeowners prefer natural wood for its authentic look and feel. If you choose wood, we use proper treatment and sealing methods to protect it from moisture and weathering. We also help you understand the maintenance commitment so you can make an informed choice.
Your railing choice matters too, both for safety and aesthetics. We install railings that meet code requirements while complementing your home's style. Whether you prefer traditional wood railings, low-maintenance composite, or modern metal designs, we build systems that are secure and attractive.
