Frequently Asked Questions

For Cambridge weather, composite decking or pressure-treated lumber are excellent choices due to their resistance to moisture, rot, and insect damage. Composite materials, like Trex or Azek, offer minimal maintenance and won't splinter or warp, which is beneficial with our freeze-thaw cycles. Pressure-treated wood, typically pine, is a more traditional and cost-effective option, requiring regular sealing to withstand the humid summers and snowy winters. We often discuss these options, considering your budget and desired maintenance level, to find the best fit for your home.
Yes, you absolutely need a building permit from the City of Cambridge Inspectional Services Department for most deck construction projects. This applies to new decks, significant expansions, or structural alterations to existing decks. The permit process ensures your deck meets local zoning ordinances, setback requirements, and safety codes. We handle the entire permitting process, from drawing up plans to submitting applications, ensuring your project is fully compliant before construction begins.
Building a new deck in Cambridge typically takes between two to four weeks, from the start of construction to completion, depending on the size and complexity. This timeframe includes site preparation, framing, decking installation, railing construction, and final inspections. Factors like material availability, weather conditions, and the specific design choices can influence the overall timeline. We provide a detailed project schedule upfront, so you know what to expect every step of the way.
A well-constructed deck in Cambridge, using appropriate materials and proper maintenance, can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years or more. Pressure-treated wood decks generally last 15-20 years with regular sealing and cleaning. Composite decks often have a longer lifespan, frequently exceeding 25-30 years, due to their inherent resistance to rot, insects, and weathering. The lifespan is heavily influenced by material choice, quality of installation, and consistent upkeep against New England's variable climate.
To protect your deck from Cambridge's climate, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. For wood decks, this means cleaning annually to remove mildew and debris, and re-sealing or re-staining every 2-3 years to prevent moisture penetration and UV damage. Composite decks require less maintenance, typically just a periodic wash with soap and water to keep them looking good. Inspecting for loose fasteners, checking railings, and clearing snow promptly in winter will also extend your deck's life and ensure its safety.
