Composite Decks for Truro homes
Truro is one of the most exposed towns on the Cape, with houses on high dunes and open ground. Siding, decks and roofs here need fasteners and materials chosen for constant wind and salt.
Truro houses sit on dunes, bluffs and open ground with little between them and the weather. Constant wind and salt mean siding, decks and roofs here need corrosion-resistant fasteners, careful flashing and materials chosen for exposure rather than looks alone.
About two thirds of Truro's homes are seasonal, the highest share in the area, and the zoning bylaw describes Beach Point as an area of traditional vacation cottages. Many of these houses need work done while the owners are away, and a roof that will hold through a winter no one is there to watch.
Truro controls house size in two ways. In the Seashore District, gross floor area is limited by right to 3,600 square feet on 3 acres, adjusted by 200 square feet per acre, and in the Residential District a separate cap applies. Site plan review is required for larger additions, so we confirm the numbers before design.

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 Truro, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for composite decks in Truro?
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 Truro, permits go through the Truro Building Department at 24 Town Hall Road, Truro, MA 02666, 508-349-7004 ext. 131. Exterior changes in Truro can also need review by the Seashore District, the Truro 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.
