Building a deck in Bourne
Bourne is the only Cape town on both sides of the Cape Cod Canal, from Buzzards Bay and Sagamore on the mainland side to Pocasset, Cataumet, and Monument Beach on the Cape side.
Bourne meets Buzzards Bay and the Cape Cod Canal, with Cape Cod Bay at Sagamore Beach. Close to Buzzards Bay and the canal, a deck takes more wind, sun, and salt than one inland, so we use corrosion-resistant hardware and low-maintenance boards where the location calls for it, and we check whether the lot is in a FEMA flood zone before we size the footings.
Homes along Buzzards Bay and the canal see steady wind off the water, so railing posts, connections, and fasteners need to be solid and corrosion resistant.
In Bourne we built a low-maintenance composite deck with white railings, wide stairs, and a platform framed for a hot tub. The Bourne deck photos on this page are from that job.

“Mussato Building Group has been a loyal and trusted partner of ours for over ten years and one hundred projects. Their professionalism and quality of work are second to none. We look forward to working with them far into the future.”

Deck Builder in Bourne: FAQ
Do I need a permit for a deck in Bourne?
Yes, in most cases. A new or rebuilt deck needs a building permit from the Bourne Building Department. If the lot is near a wetland, dune, or the shore, the Bourne Conservation Commission reviews it too. We handle the paperwork.
Do you build decks in Buzzards Bay and Sagamore?
Yes. We build and replace decks all over Bourne, including Buzzards Bay, Sagamore, Sagamore Beach, Bournedale, Pocasset, Cataumet, and Monument Beach. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 28 miles away.
What decking holds up best in Bourne?
On a lot close to Buzzards Bay and the canal, composite or PVC boards with stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware are the low-maintenance choice. Farther from the water, cedar and pressure-treated wood also work well if you are willing to clean and stain them every few years.
Can you replace an old deck in Bourne instead of building a new one?
Yes. We remove the old deck, inspect the ledger, posts, and footings, and rebuild on a sound structure. Reusing the footings is possible when they are in good shape and meet current code.
