Replacing a deck in Wellfleet

Wellfleet is an Outer Cape town of harbor, ponds, and woods, with much of its ocean side inside the Cape Cod National Seashore.

Decks close to the harbor, the ponds, 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 Wellfleet, we start underneath, with the footings and the ledger, and rebuild with corrosion-resistant hardware and, if you want, boards that never need staining.

Wellfleet homes tucked into the woods or on bluffs above the harbor often need elevated decks with careful footings on sandy slopes.

If your Wellfleet 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 Wellfleet: FAQ

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

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

Do you replace decks in Wellfleet and South Wellfleet?

Yes. We replace and repair decks all over Wellfleet, including Wellfleet and South Wellfleet. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 29 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 Wellfleet?

Close to the harbor, the ponds, 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.
