Decks Done Right — From Demo to Final Walkthrough

A well-built deck extends your living space, adds real value to your home, and becomes the place where memories get made. At North Heritage Construction, we build decks the same way we build homes — with the right materials, the right structure, and attention to detail that shows in the finished result.

Whether you are replacing a deteriorating old deck, upgrading from wood to composite, or building something new from the ground up, we manage the entire process — from permit to final walkthrough — so you don't have to coordinate multiple contractors.

We serve homeowners across Greater Boston including Newton, Somerville, Arlington, Lexington, Belmont, Cambridge, Medford, and Watertown.

What We Build

From full replacements to new builds — we handle every aspect of deck construction.

Composite Deck Construction

We install Deckorators mineral-based composite decking — a premium product that outperforms standard composite on heat, moisture resistance, and longevity. Low maintenance, high performance, available in multiple styles and colors to match your home.

Full Deck Replacements

When a deck needs replacing, we remove everything — existing decking, railings, balusters, and posts — and install a fully new system. We assess the structural condition of the existing frame and replace what needs replacing, not just what's visible on the surface.

New Deck Construction

Building a deck where none existed? We handle the full scope: design consultation, permitting, foundation work, framing, decking surface, railings, and stairs. One contractor, one point of contact, no coordination headaches.

Railing & Baluster Upgrades

Sometimes the deck structure is sound but the railings are outdated or failing. We replace railings, balusters, and posts independently — upgrading the look and safety of your existing deck without a full tear-down.

Why We Specify Deckorators

Not all composite decking is the same. For composite projects, we work with Deckorators — built on patented Surestone® mineral-based technology. The boards stay noticeably cooler underfoot on hot summer days, absorb virtually no water, and require no staining, sealing, or painting. For New England homeowners, that last point matters: freeze-thaw cycles that destroy wood and even standard composite have no effect on Deckorators boards.

Backed by a 25-year structural and 25-year stain and fade warranty, made with 34% recycled content, and slip-resistant even when wet. If you want a deck that looks great the day it goes in and still looks great a decade later, it is a material worth investing in.

Cooler Underfoot

Stays significantly cooler than traditional composite on hot summer days. Comfortable barefoot in direct sun.

Virtually No Water Absorption

Resists swelling, mold, and rot — even through harsh New England winters and wet spring seasons.

25-Year Warranty

25-year structural and 25-year stain and fade warranty. Long-term protection on a long-term investment.

Full Replacement, Done Completely

A common mistake is replacing only the surface boards when a deck needs attention, leaving old posts, framing, and railings in place. If the underlying structure is compromised, new boards on a failing frame is not a solution — it is a problem deferred.

We assess the full deck before recommending any scope of work. When a complete replacement is the right call, we handle everything so the finished product is structurally sound from the ground up.
