Estimation + Site Prep
Our team will come out to the job site and get dimensions, schedule a time for the work to start and answer any questions you might have.
Demolition
Here’s what you can expect during your deck demolition:
- Safety First: We prioritize safety by setting up the demolition zone and ensuring our team is properly equipped with protective gear.
- Methodical Disassembly: We begin by removing the railings, carefully dismantling each section and sorting any usable materials from debris.
- Deck Board Removal: Next, we tackle the deck boards. Depending on the fastening method, we might utilize pry bars, saws, or a combination of both to remove them efficiently. Again, we’ll separate any salvageable wood from the demolition waste.
- Frame and Beam Breakdown: Once the deck boards are cleared, we move on to the frame and support beams. Using appropriate tools like saws and hammers, we’ll dismantle these components, meticulously sorting any usable lumber for potential future projects.
- Post Removal: The final step involves removing the support posts. Depending on their foundation (ground-mounted or attached to your house), we’ll use appropriate techniques to safely detach and remove them.
- Thorough Cleanup: Once the demolition is complete, we’ll meticulously clean up the entire work area. This includes removing all debris, including nails, screws, and any remaining wood scraps.
- Haul Away and Responsible Disposal: Finally, we’ll responsibly haul away all the demolition debris, ensuring it’s disposed of according to local regulations and environmental standards.
Peace of mind: Throughout the entire process, you can rest assured that our experienced team will handle the demolition efficiently, safely, and responsibly, leaving you with a clean slate for your next project.
Footings
Our deck footing installation ensures a rock-solid foundation for your dream deck. We start with a site visit and permitting, then meticulously excavate to code-specified depths. We use high-quality, code-approved materials and expert techniques to create level, reinforced footings. Finally, we ensure everything meets regulations with a local building inspection. Relax, your deck will be built to last!
Framing
Transforming your vision into reality, our skilled team brings your deck design to life through meticulous deck framing. Here’s a glimpse of the process:
1. Precise Layout and Marking:
- We meticulously mark the exact locations for beams, joists, and posts, ensuring perfect alignment and compliance with the approved deck plans.
2. Secure Post Installation:
- Ground-mounted posts are secured in pre-dug, code-compliant holes using high-quality concrete and proper anchoring techniques. Posts attached to your house are firmly connected with secure brackets and fasteners.
3. Beam and Joist Assembly:
- Beams are meticulously leveled and securely attached to the posts, forming the primary support structure.
- Joists are precisely spaced and fastened to the beams, creating the framework for your deck’s surface.
4. Double-Checking for Accuracy:
- Throughout the process, our team continuously double-checks measurements and ensures all connections meet code requirements and our high standards.
5. Ready for the Next Step:
- Once the framing is complete, we provide a thorough inspection to ensure a sturdy and level foundation for the next phase of your deck construction.
Relax and Envision: With our expert framing, you can visualize your dream deck coming to life, confident in the knowledge that the foundation is strong, secure, and ready for the finishing touches.
Decking
The moment you’ve been waiting for! Here’s how we transform your chosen deck boards into the beautiful surface of your dream deck:
1. Board Selection and Acclimation:
- We’ll carefully inspect your chosen deck boards to ensure they meet quality standards and are ready for installation.
- If necessary, we may recommend acclimating the boards to your local weather conditions to minimize warping or shrinking.
2. Secure and Precise Installation:
- Our experienced crew will expertly fasten the deck boards to the frame using the appropriate techniques specific to your chosen material.
- We’ll ensure proper spacing and alignment for a visually pleasing and structurally sound deck surface.
3. Finishing Touches:
- Once the boards are secured, we’ll meticulously address any gaps or imperfections, creating a smooth and finished deck surface.
Now you can get ready for the final step!
Railing & Trim
The final step towards your dream deck! Here’s how we expertly install your chosen railings and trim:
1. Railing Post Placement:
- Our team precisely positions and securely mounts the railing posts to the deck frame, ensuring proper spacing and alignment for safety and aesthetics.
2. Baluster Installation:
- We carefully install the balusters, the vertical supports between the railing posts, ensuring they meet code requirements for spacing and stability.
3. Top Rail and Trim Completion:
- The top railing is securely fastened to the posts and balusters, creating a safe and finished barrier.
- Trim is meticulously installed around the deck perimeter and any other designated areas, adding a final touch of elegance and completing the overall look.
4. Final Inspection and Enjoyment:
- We conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure everything is secure, level, and meets all code requirements.
Ready to Relax:
With the railings and trim in place, your deck is now fully functional and ready for you to enjoy. Sit back, relax, and admire the beautiful finished product, knowing your dream deck has been built with expertise and care.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Boston Hardwood Decks to replace our crumbling wooden deck with composite. Joshua was very professional and responsive throughout the project and we are very happy with the final product.Posted on Evan FerrellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh and team did a wonderful job rebuilding our front yard. They built a new railing, redid the trellis underneath our deck, reinforced the deck structure, and helped to cleanup the yard with some rock work. Their team was professional, on time, under budget, and a real pleasure to work with. I was able to get a quote within a day and had the work done faster than any other quote I received. Highly recommend Josh and the team at Boston Hardwood Decks! We will be using them again.Posted on Tom KrugerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh and his team did a stellar job repairing a second-floor deck that had water damage. The deck looks properly finished with attention to detail. Additionally, they repaired a hanging gutter that perhaps was causing the water damage. Very reliable and prompt service. I have had Josh do other jobs in my home and his work is consistently good and he and his team are reliable.Posted on Caroline LegorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh did a great job replacing my rotting wood balcony with composite. He did the job in the 2 days he said he would and pointed out some good fixes that will improve the balcony long term. Would definitely recommend!Posted on Jed RosenkrantzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh is an honest man who gets the job done.Posted on Dylan HeidrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joshua and Michael were amazing to work with! I had front steps that were in desperate need of repair and just kept putting the project off. When I was finally ready to start Joshua was incredibly responsive, detailed, and communicative throughout the whole process. They started exactly when they said they would and finished right on time!Posted on Jessica RogersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh is a skilled craftsman.

I recommend Josh, especially for older and historic homes.Posted on Daniel GrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joshua is wonderful to work with and is breath of fresh air! Him and team produce high-quality work. I've used him for a few projects now and am very satisfied from start to finish from communication, payment, etc. Thank you, Joshua!Posted on MarlenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh is extremely capable. I hired him to take care of some maintenance on my rental property and, even though it had nothing to do with decks, he did a great job. He came through in a pinch to troubleshoot a dishwasher gone awry and kept my tenants happy and my appliance in good working order. I have not hired Josh for any deck work but can say his work is high quality. He is responsive and an able problem solver. Highly recommend.Posted on Malcolm White
