Your local decks contractor in Braintree
If you have been putting off decks in Braintree because you dread the process, that is usually a communication problem rather than a construction one. We give Braintree homeowners an itemised estimate, a start date we can hold, and one person to call — then we keep to it.
Braintree is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1640 and home to roughly 39,000 people. That makes it one of the oldest communities in the state, so the older streets carry genuine antique stock — post-and-beam frames, hand-cut joinery, plaster over lath, and additions layered on across three centuries. We know the town well — from East Braintree, South Braintree and Braintree Highlands to the quieter streets — and our decks crews reach Braintree quickly from nearby Northborough. It is about 40 miles from our Northborough shop — about an hour in normal traffic.
We treat your Braintree home the way we'd want our own treated: clean job sites, clear daily communication, and respect for your time and property. When the decks project wraps, the only thing we leave behind is work you'll be proud to show off.
You're allowed to change your mind. Scope shifts on plenty of Braintree projects once walls are open or samples are on site, and we re-price it in writing before anything proceeds — never quietly added to the final bill.
For the full detail on how we approach this work — materials, process and what to expect — see our decks page.

Do I need a permit for decks in Braintree, MA?+
Yes, almost certainly. Massachusetts exempts a deck only if it is under 200 sq ft, under 30 inches high, unattached to the house and not serving a required exit door — all four at once. Any deck off your back door needs a permit, and we file it for you. We file it with Braintree's building and inspectional services department as a Registered Home Improvement Contractor (MA HIC #196540).
Composite or wood — which is better?+
Composite costs more up front but needs almost no maintenance and lasts longer. Wood is budget-friendly and classic but needs periodic sealing. We help you weigh the trade-offs.

Almost every real deck needs a building permit in Massachusetts.
780 CMR exempts a deck only if it meets ALL four conditions at once: no more than 200 sq ft, no more than 30 inches above grade at any point, not attached to the dwelling, and not serving a required exit door. A deck off your back door, or any deck attached to the house, fails that test — so plan on a permit and an inspection. We file it for you.
For decks work in the City of Braintree, the filing goes to Braintree's building and inspectional services department. As a Massachusetts Registered Home Improvement Contractor (HIC #196540) we pull the permit in our name, book the inspections and meet the inspector on site — you never have to take a day off for it. Requirements do change, so we confirm the current position with Braintree's office before any work starts.
