Deck Building for Eastham homes
Decks in composite, PVC or hardwood that can sit through an Outer Cape winter, planned within the Seashore District and conservation limits.
Eastham borders the Cape Cod National Seashore, and many homes are year-round capes and ranches with exposure to wind from both the bay and the ocean side.
Eastham is narrow, with Cape Cod Bay on one side and the Atlantic on the other, and wind reaches houses from both. Roofs, siding and decks here are built for exposure, and outdoor showers are close to standard equipment on homes near the beaches.
About 95 percent of Eastham homes are single-family, most built in the 1970s or later, and more than half are seasonal. Many are capes and ranches that are ready for their second roof, new windows and a deck that can sit through the winter without attention.
For homes inside the National Seashore, Eastham's Seashore District limits enlargements: habitable space can grow no more than 50 percent over what existed in 1959, with set setbacks, and the town notifies the Secretary of the Interior of building permit applications there. We sort out what a project can include before design starts.

How we handle decks
A deck is one of the best investments you can make in a Cape Cod home. It extends your living space outdoors and, if built right, adds real value to your property. We build with pressure-treated lumber, composite decking (TimberTech, Trex), and PVC, each with its own strengths depending on your budget and how much maintenance you want to do.

FAQ
Deck Building in Eastham, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for deck building in Eastham?
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 Eastham, permits go through the Eastham Building Department at 2500 State Highway, Eastham, MA 02642, 508-240-5900 ext. 3202. Exterior changes in Eastham can also need review by the Seashore District (Cape Cod National Seashore), the Olde Towne Centre Historic District Commission, the Eastham Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
What decking lasts longest in Cape Cod's salt air?
Capped composite boards such as TimberTech and Trex and all-PVC boards hold up best near the ocean because they do not rot, splinter or need staining. Pressure-treated wood costs less up front but needs cleaning and sealing every one to three years. The framing underneath should use hardware rated for coastal exposure.
Can you replace the deck boards and keep the frame?
Sometimes. If the joists, beams, ledger and footings are sound and properly attached, new decking and railings can go on the existing frame. We check the ledger connection and the condition of the framing first, because new boards on a weak structure is money spent in the wrong place.
