Replacing 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.

Decks close to Buzzards Bay and the canal wear out faster: salt air corrodes the hardware, and sun and wind break down the boards. When we replace a deck in Bourne, we start underneath, with the footings and the ledger, and rebuild with corrosion-resistant hardware and, if you want, boards that never need staining.

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 composite deck with white railings, wide stairs, and a hot tub platform. The Bourne photos on this page, including the new framing, are from that job.

Questions

Deck Replacement in Bourne: FAQ

Do I need a permit to replace a deck in Bourne?

Usually, yes. Rebuilding the structure needs a building permit from the Bourne Building Department, and the new deck has to meet the current code. Near a wetland, dune, or the shore, the Bourne Conservation Commission reviews it too. We handle the paperwork.

Do you replace decks in Buzzards Bay and Sagamore?

Yes. We replace and repair 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.

Repair or replace: how do I know?

Look underneath. If the joists, ledger, and posts are solid and only boards or railings are worn, a repair can work. Soft framing, a rotted ledger, rusted hangers, or footings that moved mean a replacement. We check it for you and put it in writing.

What decking lasts longest in Bourne?

Close to Buzzards Bay and the canal, composite or PVC boards with stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware hold up best with the least upkeep. Cedar and pressure-treated wood still work well farther from salt air if you clean and stain them.
