Local Work

Replacing a deck in Yarmouth

Yarmouth is our home town, running from the historic houses of Yarmouth Port on Route 6A to the neighborhoods along Bass River and Nantucket Sound.

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

We know Yarmouth’s neighborhoods well, from the historic district in Yarmouth Port to the low-lying streets along Bass River and the sound.

Flood-zone details on the plans if FEMA maps the lot in an AE or VE zone.
A certificate from the Yarmouth Old King’s Highway committee if the new deck changes what can be seen from a public way in the historic district.

Questions

Deck Replacement in Yarmouth: FAQ

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

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

Do you replace decks in Yarmouth Port and South Yarmouth?

Yes. We replace and repair decks all over Yarmouth, including Yarmouth Port, South Yarmouth, West Yarmouth, and Bass River. We are based right here in South Yarmouth.

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 Yarmouth?

Close to the bay, the sound, and Bass River, 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.
