Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new deck cost in Connecticut?

New deck construction in Connecticut typically runs $30-60 per square foot depending on materials. A 12x16 pressure-treated deck averages $6,000-$12,000, while composite decking ranges from $12,000-$20,000 for the same footprint. We provide free written estimates with itemized material options.

Is it cheaper to restore my deck or replace it?

If the frame and footings are sound, restoration costs a fraction of replacement — typically $1,500-$5,000 for board repairs, washing, sanding, and staining. We inspect the structure first and tell you honestly which route makes sense.

What decking materials do you work with?

Pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite brands like Trex and TimberTech. Composite costs more up front but needs no staining and resists New England freeze-thaw cycles.

How long does deck staining last in Connecticut?

With proper prep, quality deck stain lasts 2-4 years on horizontal surfaces in Connecticut's climate. Vertical surfaces like railings hold stain longer. We use penetrating oil-based or advanced acrylic stains rated for harsh winters.

Do you handle permits for deck construction?

Yes. Most Connecticut towns require a building permit for new decks and structural changes. We prepare the plans and coordinate the permit process with your town's building department.

Can you rebuild just the deck boards and keep the frame?

Often, yes. If joists and posts pass inspection, we can re-deck the surface and replace railings for significantly less than a full rebuild — and it looks brand new.
