EXTERIOR SERVICE
Custom decks, built to last..
Custom decks built from pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite and PVC. Footings to spec, joist spacing to code, and railings that pass every inspection on the first walk. We also rebuild rotten decks the right way — replace the framing, not just the boards.
EARLY WARNING
things to consider
01Warning 01
Soft or Spongy Joists
A critical warning sign that moisture has bypassed the surface and is actively rotting the structural framing underneath.
02Warning 02
Loose or Rusted Ledger Connectors
A catastrophic hazard where the deck attaches to the house; rusted nails or loose bolts can lead to total structural collapse.
03Warning 03
Wobbly Railings or Posts
Indicates failing hardware connections or rotted structural blocking that no longer meets safety code requirements.
04Warning 04
Soil Erosion Around Footings
Exposed concrete piers or sinking footings mean the weight distribution of the deck is compromised and shifting.

Questions about Decks
5" or 6" gutters?
6" handles roughly 40% more water and is what we recommend for most Maine roofs. 5" only if the roof is small or the look matters (6" is noticeably bigger).
Do gutter guards actually work?
Guard systems such as LeafFilter are designed to reduce debris buildup and seasonal cleanouts while maintaining water flow when the entire drainage path is properly sized.
What colors are available?
32 standard colors are available, and custom RAL colors can also be ordered.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on surrounding tree cover and debris load. Guard systems can help reduce the need for regular cleanouts.
