Composite Decks for Falmouth homes
Falmouth has a long shoreline that runs from Buzzards Bay around to Vineyard Sound. Coastal homes see wind-driven rain and salt air, and Falmouth has its own local historic districts, so it pays to check requirements before changing a façade.
Falmouth has about 68 miles of shoreline, running from Buzzards Bay around Woods Hole to Vineyard Sound and Waquoit Bay. Homes on the water take wind and salt from two directions, and waterfront decks, windows and siding are built for that exposure.
Falmouth's housing is older than most of the Upper Cape: according to the town's 2024 Housing Production Plan, only about one in ten homes was built in 2000 or later. Many of these houses are ready for basements finished into living space, new staircases, updated baths and a full exterior done at once.
The town has seven local historic districts, in Davisville, Falmouth Village, North Falmouth, Quissett, Waquoit, West Falmouth and Woods Hole. Visible exterior changes there are reviewed by the Falmouth Historical Commission, while routine repair with no change in look can be approved administratively.

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 Falmouth, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for composite decks in Falmouth?
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 Falmouth, permits go through the Falmouth Building Department at Town Hall, 59 Town Hall Square, Falmouth, MA 02540, 508-495-7470. Exterior changes in Falmouth can also need review by the Falmouth Historical Commission (local historic districts), the Demolition delay 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.
