Your local decks contractor in Brookline
If you have been putting off decks in Brookline because you dread the process, that is usually a communication problem rather than a construction one. We give Brookline homeowners an itemised estimate, a start date we can hold, and one person to call — then we keep to it.
Brookline is in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, established in 1705 and home to roughly 63,000 people. It was settled well before the Republic, which usually means a core of Federal and Greek Revival homes surrounded by later infill — plenty of hand-framed structure, and rooflines never meant to carry today's insulation. For a contractor that makes it a large community, so the housing runs the full range of eras and budgets. It sits in Greater Boston. It is about 35 miles from our Northborough shop — about 45 minutes to an hour in normal traffic. Being close keeps estimates and site visits quick.
New work shouldn't announce itself. We match rooflines, trim profiles, siding exposure and interior finishes to what your Brookline home already has, so the decks reads as original rather than as something bolted on later.
Call and you get a person, usually the owner. Message us and you get an answer within one business day. On a decks project in Brookline that responsiveness isn't a courtesy — it's what keeps the job moving.

Do I need a permit for decks in Brookline, 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 Brookline's building 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 Town of Brookline, the filing goes to Brookline's building 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 Brookline's office before any work starts.
