Local Work

Replacing a deck in Sandwich

Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, settled in 1637, with historic homes along Route 6A and newer neighborhoods in Forestdale.

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

Town Neck and the marsh behind it put parts of Sandwich in flood zones, while houses on Route 6A sit in the historic district.

Questions

Deck Replacement in Sandwich: FAQ

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

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

Do you replace decks in Sandwich Village and East Sandwich?

Yes. We replace and repair decks all over Sandwich, including Sandwich Village, East Sandwich, and Forestdale. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 20 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 Sandwich?

Close to Cape Cod Bay and the marsh, 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.
