Frequently Asked Deck Building Questions

Hardwood deck design and construction is our bread and butter. If you’ve got deck building questions, we can help you get answers.

How long does a hardwood deck last?

A well maintained Ipe deck can last up to 50+ years.

How much maintenance does a hardwood deck require?

Annual  washing with a light duty pressure washer or just scrubbing by hand and followed with an application of Penofin hardwood Oil is recommended to enhance the beauty and achieve optimum longevity. Some people prefer to have it go gray. In that case we would recommend oiling it initially and just letting it gray out over time. That requires no maintenance.

Do you build composite decks?

Yes, we build composite decks quite a bit. Although our name is branded as Hardwood we offer composite decking options as well.

Do I need a building permit?

Our team handles all building and zoning permits for you. We ask that you provide a plot plan so that we can include it with the permit application. We don’t handle Homeowners Association approvals though.

How much does a new deck cost?
Prices can vary greatly depending on the project accessibility, design, size, height, material selection and location. You are best off giving us a call and we would be happy to go over the specific details of your project.
 
How many designs do I have to choose from?

Our work is customized to your exact needs, so your design options are virtually endless. If all that design freedom overwhelms you, we will give you some examples that you can look through.

What kinds of wood do you use?

We build with all types of wood and are experienced with treated wood, cedar, redwood, tropical hardwoods, and low-maintenance composites and synthetics. You have a full range of materials to choose from.

Can I get an exact price before I decide to hire Boston Hardwood Deck?
