Composite Decks for Dennis homes
Dennis runs from Cape Cod Bay to Nantucket Sound, so houses on both shores get heavy salt exposure. The bay side of town falls inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District.
Dennis reaches from Cape Cod Bay to Nantucket Sound, with Sesuit Harbor on the north shore and the Bass River and Swan Pond River on the south. Homes on both coasts take steady salt and wind, which is why flashing, fasteners and trim details matter as much as the shingles you see.
The north side of town sits inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District, and South Dennis has its own local historic district around Main Street, created in 1974. Window grid patterns, trim profiles and siding materials on these houses are reviewed, and getting them right the first time keeps a project on schedule.
Dennis also has one of the longer demolition delays on the Cape: twelve months for buildings 75 years old or older. When an addition or remodel involves taking down part of an older house, we plan that review into the schedule from the start.

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 Dennis, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for composite decks in Dennis?
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 Dennis, permits go through the Dennis Building Department at Town Hall, 685 Route 134, South Dennis, MA 02660, 508-760-6157. Exterior changes in Dennis can also need review by the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee, the South Dennis Historic District, the Dennis Historical Commission 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.
