A new deck project in Arlington typically takes between 3 to 6 weeks from the start of construction to completion, once all permits are secured. This timeframe can vary depending on the deck's size, complexity, and the materials chosen. We also account for potential weather delays common in the New England region, especially during certain seasons. The permitting process with the Town of Arlington's Inspectional Services Department can add several weeks before physical construction begins, so planning ahead is always beneficial.
Yes, you absolutely need a building permit from the Town of Arlington's Inspectional Services Department for any new deck construction or significant deck renovation.

For Arlington's climate, both pressure-treated lumber and composite decking are excellent choices, each with distinct advantages. Pressure-treated wood is a cost-effective and durable option that performs well against moisture and insects, though it requires regular maintenance like staining or sealing. Composite decking, made from recycled plastics and wood fibers, offers superior resistance to fading, staining, and mold, requiring very little upkeep over its lifespan. We often recommend composite for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance solution that will look great year after year without extensive effort.
