Replacing a deck in Truro

Truro is one of the quietest towns on the Cape, and most of its land lies inside the Cape Cod National Seashore.

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

Many Truro houses sit on hills and dunes with long views, which often means elevated decks with tall posts, long stair runs, and footings set in sand.

If your Truro house is a summer home, fall and winter are the time to replace the deck, so it is ready when you open the house.

Questions

Deck Replacement in Truro: FAQ

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

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

Do you replace decks in Truro and North Truro?

Yes. We replace and repair decks all over Truro, including Truro and North Truro. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 32 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 Truro?

Close to the bay and the ocean, 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.
