Composite Decks for Brewster homes
Brewster is entirely within the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, so most visible exterior work needs to go through the local committee. Many homes sit in wooded lots where shade and moisture shorten the life of roofs and decks.
Brewster is known as the sea captains' town, and a town-wide inventory surveyed more than 300 houses that are a century old or more. Work on these homes is about restraint: matching shingle exposure and trim profiles, keeping original details where they can be saved and making new work hard to tell from old.
Away from Route 6A, many Brewster homes sit in deep shade on wooded lots around the ponds. Shade and moisture shorten the life of roofs and decks, so we pay close attention to ventilation, flashing at every wall and chimney, and decking materials that dry out well.
About 42 percent of Brewster homes were used seasonally in 2020, higher than the Cape average. We plan projects around when you are here, keep you updated while you are not, and close the house up at the end of every day.
Approvals that can apply in Brewster
Brewster Old King's Highway Historic District Committee
Covers the land north of the center line of Route 6, which is most of the town. Exterior changes, fences, signs, new construction and demolition need approval. Exemption certificates are available for architectural asphalt shingles in black, gray or weatherwood, or natural cedar at no more than 5 inch exposure, and for small sheds and low fences.
Building Department
Administers and enforces the OKH Act together with the committee, issues building permits through the town's OpenGov portal and schedules inspections.
Conservation Commission
Reviews work near wetlands, ponds and the bay shore under the state Wetlands Protection Act and the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw. A separate town stormwater bylaw also applies.
What homeowners say on Google
“His crew arrives on time, are courteous, clean up every day and do beautiful work. We could not be happier with the results of the new cedar shake siding, portico over garage doors, custom IPE trellis and Mahogany wind wall under the deck and steps.”
How we handle composite decks
Composite decking from Trex and TimberTech does not need the yearly sealing or staining a wood deck asks for, and it holds its color through salt air and summer sun better than bare lumber. It costs more up front than pressure-treated wood, so it makes the most sense on a deck you plan to keep for a long time.

FAQ
Composite Decks in Brewster, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for composite decks in Brewster?
A new or rebuilt deck needs a building permit with footing and framing details, and work near wetlands, ponds or the shore also goes through the Conservation Commission. In Brewster, permits go through the Brewster Building Department at Town Offices, 2198 Main Street, Brewster, MA 02631, 508-896-3701 ext. 1125. Exterior changes in Brewster can also need review by the Brewster Old King's Highway Historic District Committee and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
Is composite decking worth it on Cape Cod?
It costs more up front than pressure-treated wood, but it does not need sealing or staining every year and it holds up to salt air and sun. On a deck you plan to keep for a long time, the lower upkeep usually makes up the difference.
Can new composite boards go on my old deck frame?
Sometimes. Composite boards need the joist spacing the manufacturer specifies, and the frame has to be sound. We check the joists, beams and footings first and repair or add framing where it is needed.
