A deck built to
hold the seasons.
New decks and deck repairs framed for New England snow load, frost heave, and years of weather, so the space you relax on is one you can trust.
A deck lives outside through everything New England throws at it. Snow load, frost heave, rain, and sun all work on the wood and the connections holding it up. Built right, it is a space you trust for decades. Built cheap, it is the thing that feels wobbly a few winters later.
We build new decks and repair old ones, framing for the snow and frost we actually get here. A new deck typically runs about $25 to $60 per square foot depending on material and height; repairs cost far less. You get a firm number at the free estimate.
Build new or repair
Not every tired deck needs to come down. Sometimes it is boards and railings; sometimes the framing, ledger, or footings are the problem and the safe answer is a rebuild. We inspect the structure first and give you the honest call.
| Usually a repair | Usually a rebuild | |
|---|---|---|
| Boards | A few soft or split | Widespread rot |
| Railing | Loose sections | Fails a push test throughout |
| Framing & ledger | Sound | Rotted or pulling away |
| Footings | Solid | Heaved or undersized |
Decking materials
Pressure-treated wood is the value standard and, kept sealed, lasts a long time here. Composite costs more up front and never needs staining, which is why a lot of New Hampshire homeowners choose it for a low-maintenance deck.
| Material | Best for | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure-treated wood | Budget builds, classic look | $ |
| Cedar / premium wood | Natural look, less upkeep than PT | $$ |
| Composite | Low maintenance, no staining | $$$ |
How the job goes
- Free on-site estimate. We talk through size, layout, and material, look at any existing structure, and hand you a written quote.
- Footings below the frost line. New builds get proper footings so frost heave does not lift the deck over winter.
- Framed and fastened for the load. Joists, ledger, and posts sized and connected to hold snow load and stay solid.
- Decked and railed. Boards laid clean, railing built to code, and the site left tidy.
What a deck costs, and what moves the price.
| Scope | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Deck repair (boards, railing, hardware) | a few hundred to a couple thousand |
| New deck, by area | about $25–$60 per sq ft |
| Elevated, composite, or complex | toward the top of the range and up |
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size & height | More area and elevation mean more framing and safety work. |
| Material | Composite and premium wood cost more than pressure-treated. |
| Railing & stairs | Rail style and stair runs add material and labor. |
| Footings & site | Ledge, slope, or soft ground can change how footings are done. |
| Tear-out | Removing and hauling an old deck adds to a rebuild. |

Deck questions.
Do you build new decks or just repair them?+
Both. We build new decks and we repair existing ones, from replacing rotted boards and railings to shoring up framing and footings. If a deck is unsafe we will tell you straight whether it can be repaired or should be rebuilt.
How much does a deck cost in New Hampshire?+
A new deck typically runs about $25 to $60 per square foot depending on material, height, and railing, so a mid-size deck often lands in the low-to-mid five figures. Repairs are far less. These are typical ranges, not a quote.
Pressure-treated wood or composite?+
Pressure-treated wood is the budget-friendly standard and holds up well when it is maintained. Composite costs more up front but never needs staining and shrugs off our freeze-thaw seasons. We build both and will walk you through the trade-off.
Will my deck handle New England snow load?+
It should, and that is a framing and footing question, not just a surface one. We build to hold the snow and frost heave we get here, with proper footings below the frost line and framing sized for the span.
Can you fix a deck that feels wobbly or rotted?+
Yes, and it is worth doing before someone gets hurt. Wobble usually means loose connections or failing posts; soft boards mean rot. We inspect the framing, ledger, and footings and fix the structure, not just the surface.
