Learn MoreYou reach out by phone or form and describe what you have in mind. We schedule a free on-site visit within 1 business day. During the visit, we look at your yard, ask how you want to use the space, and talk through your options before quoting anything. No pressure, no hard sell.
After the visit, you receive a written proposal that breaks out materials, labor, permit fees, and timeline. We flag any site-specific considerations - like older home framing or coastal hardware requirements - before they become surprises. You decide when you're ready, not when we push you.
We pull the permit, coordinate inspections with the City of Beverly, and build your project on the schedule we committed to. You get updates when it matters - not silence. When the final inspection passes, we walk you through the finished work and hand over your permit paperwork. You're done, and your deck is legal and ready to use.
We hold a Massachusetts contractor license and carry full general liability and workers' compensation coverage on every project. Ask for our license number and certificate of insurance - we'll send them before you sign anything.
We come to your property in person - no quoting over the phone from a form. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks out labor, materials, and permit fees separately so you can compare bids fairly. Zero pressure to move forward.
We have built decks and fences across Beverly and the North Shore for years. We know the local permit process, the frost line requirements, and what coastal salt air does to hardware - because we live and work here too.
Every project includes permit handling and all required inspections. If something isn't right after we finish, we come back and make it right - no runaround. Your deck will be on record with the city as a legal, inspected structure.

"They came out for the estimate within two days and had the permit pulled before I even thought to ask about it. The composite deck was done in under two weeks and it looked exactly like the drawing they showed me."
Michael T., Beverly - Composite deck installation
"We needed a vinyl fence along the back of our yard and they handled everything - the design, the permit, the install. The crew was clean and finished ahead of schedule. No complaints at all."
Karen S., Salem - Vinyl fence installation
"Our old deck was pulling away from the house after a bad winter. They assessed it, gave us a fair quote, and rebuilt it with deeper footings. It's been through two winters now and hasn't moved an inch."

Most of our projects are within a short drive of our office, which means we can typically schedule a free on-site estimate within the same week you reach out.
Massachusetts requires footings to sit below the frost line - typically 48 inches deep in the Beverly area - so the ground freezing and thawing each winter doesn't push the deck out of level. Shallow footings are the most common reason decks pull away from houses within a few years of installation.
Composite decking resists salt air, moisture, and UV fading far better than wood in coastal climates like Beverly's - it won't gray, splinter, or rot, and it doesn't need annual sealing. Wood costs less upfront but requires significantly more maintenance every one to three years to stay in good shape.
An unpermitted deck can stall or derail a home sale - buyers' attorneys and inspectors routinely flag them, and lenders sometimes require the issue to be resolved before closing. The North American Deck and Railing Association recommends always verifying permit requirements with your local building department before any work begins.
The posts, beams, and joists hidden beneath the decking boards carry all the weight and determine how long the structure holds up. A deck that looks beautiful on top but has undersized or improperly fastened framing will flex, squeak, or fail within a few years - evaluating framing quality is how you tell a good contractor from a cheap one.
The practical building season runs from late April through October, but the best contractors book up quickly once spring arrives. If you want your deck ready for summer, reaching out in February or March gives you the best chance of landing your preferred start date and getting the crew you actually want.
Standard steel screws and brackets can rust out within a few years in a coastal environment like Beverly's. A contractor who knows this market will specify stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized hardware throughout - it costs a little more but prevents the deck from literally coming apart at the joints over time. Always ask about hardware spec before signing a contract.

A sloped yard often means taller posts and more complex framing, which adds cost - but it also opens the door to a multi-level design that a flat yard can't accommodate. Bring this up at the estimate so the contractor can assess the site conditions and price it correctly from the start.
Most contractors recommend waiting six to twelve months before applying a stain or sealant - new pressure-treated lumber contains moisture that needs to dry out first. The U.S. Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory recommends letting the wood weather before finishing. After that first year, plan to re-seal every two to three years.
Press a screwdriver into the rim joist and ledger board where the deck meets the house. If the wood is soft or the tool goes in with little resistance, rot has set in. Also check that the railing doesn't wobble and that posts feel solid at the base. If you're unsure, a free estimate visit is the easiest way to get a professional opinion.
If you have questions about your specific situation, call us at (978) 288-8485 or send us a message - we're happy to talk through your project before you commit to anything.
Beverly is a coastal city of about 43,000 people on the North Shore of Massachusetts, roughly 25 miles north of Boston. The city has several miles of Atlantic shoreline and distinct neighborhoods that feel like their own communities - from the historic homes in Beverly Farms and Prides Crossing to the working neighborhoods in Ryal Side and downtown. More than half of the city's housing was built before 1960, which means a lot of the homes we work on have older framing, foundations that have shifted over decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and decks that were built before modern building code requirements.
Working in Beverly means understanding what salt air and harsh winters actually do to outdoor structures. Homes near Lynch Park and the waterfront areas of Beverly Farms face conditions that wear through standard hardware and untreated wood much faster than inland properties. We spec stainless steel and hot-dipped galvanized fasteners on all coastal projects, set footings below Beverly's frost line, and use materials that are appropriate for the specific exposure level of each home. The Endicott College waterfront campus is a good visual example of what direct coastal exposure looks like in this city.
Beverly's permit process runs through the City of Beverly Inspectional Services Division, and every new deck requires a permit and at least two inspections before it's legal to use. We handle the full permit process on behalf of every client - you don't navigate city paperwork on your own. If you own a home in Beverly and you're thinking about a new deck, fence, or outdoor structure, we're your neighbors - and we'd be glad to take a look.
