Building a deck in Falmouth
Falmouth covers the southwest corner of the Cape, from Woods Hole and Falmouth Village to the coves and ponds of East Falmouth and Waquoit.
Falmouth meets Buzzards Bay on the west and Vineyard Sound and Nantucket Sound on the south. Close to Buzzards Bay and the sound, 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.
Falmouth’s Buzzards Bay shoreline and its south-coast coves and ponds put many homes in flood zones or near wetlands, which shapes both the footings and the permit.
“As the General Manager of Pretty Picky Properties I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joe and his team for nearly 10 years. Joe’s carpentry skills are unmatched. He’s always respectful, finishes on time, priced well, and transparent from start to finish. You will not regret hiring Mussato Building Group.”

Deck Builder in Falmouth: FAQ
Do I need a permit for a deck in Falmouth?
Yes, in most cases. A new or rebuilt deck needs a building permit from the Falmouth Building Department. If the lot is near a wetland, dune, or the shore, the Falmouth Conservation Commission reviews it too. We handle the paperwork.
Do you build decks in Falmouth Village and Woods Hole?
Yes. We build and replace decks all over Falmouth, including Falmouth Village, Woods Hole, North Falmouth, West Falmouth, East Falmouth, Teaticket, Hatchville, and Waquoit. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 27 miles away.
What decking holds up best in Falmouth?
On a lot close to Buzzards Bay and the sound, 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 Falmouth 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.
