Deck Builder in Lexington, MA | MC Construction and Improvement

A Deck That Belongs on a Lexington Home

Lexington homes have real character — centuries-old colonials, Capes, and mid-century houses on quiet, established streets. A deck here shouldn't look bolted on as an afterthought. We design around your home's proportions, rooflines, and trim, so the finished deck looks like it was always part of the plan — and gives you a place to actually enjoy the yard.

New Deck Construction

Ground-up custom decks: footings set below the frost line, code-compliant framing, decking, railings, and stairs — proportioned to your home's architecture and your yard's layout.

Deck Remodeling & Resurfacing

Many Lexington homes have decks that are structurally sound but worn on the surface. We replace boards, railings, and stairs so they look new again — without paying for a full rebuild.

Composite & PVC Decking

The low-maintenance choice for busy households: no staining or sealing, strong resistance to mold and insects, and colors that sit naturally next to classic New England exteriors.

Wood Decks

Pressure-treated pine and cedar for the classic natural look — with proper flashing, spacing, and ventilation so the frame stays solid for years, not just seasons.

Railings, Stairs & Lighting

Safe, code-compliant stairs and railings plus post-cap and step lighting — details that make an evening on the deck as comfortable as an afternoon.

Repairs & Structural Fixes

Soft spots, leaning railings, stairs that have settled with the years — we find what's failing underneath and repair it properly instead of covering it up.

Materials That Age Gracefully

Composite / PVC Decking

Higher upfront cost, minimal upkeep for years. No staining or sealing, strong resistance to mold, mildew, and insects, and colors engineered to hold through freeze-thaw winters. For homeowners who plan to stay put, the math usually favors composite by the second or third staining cycle you'd have done on wood.

Pressure-Treated Wood

Lower upfront cost and natural warmth that suits classic homes. It does ask for regular cleaning and sealing to stay in good shape — a fair trade when budget matters now. We'll be straight with you about the upkeep before you choose.

We build with both. During your estimate, we'll show you real samples against your home's exterior, explain the long-term cost of each, and recommend what fits your house and your weekends — no pressure toward the pricier option.

Deck Builder FAQ — Lexington, MA

It depends on size, materials, and site conditions — an elevated deck off a walkout level costs more than a low platform, and features like stairs, railings, and lighting add up. As a general rule, pressure-treated wood costs less upfront while composite costs more initially but saves on maintenance over the years. We give every Lexington homeowner a free, detailed, line-item estimate after visiting the property, so your number is real, not a guess.

In most cases, yes — Lexington requires a building permit for new deck construction and for structural changes to an existing deck, with inspections before the structure gets covered. As a licensed contractor (CSL-120609), we prepare the drawings, file the application, and coordinate the inspections with the town, so the project stays compliant from day one.

Not if it's designed right. Lexington has many homes with real architectural character — colonials, Capes, and mid-century houses — and we design each deck around the home's proportions, rooflines, and trim so it looks like it was always part of the plan. Composite and PVC boards come in tones that sit naturally next to classic exteriors, and we review samples with you before anything is ordered.

For a busy household, composite or PVC is usually the better call: no staining, no sealing, and far better resistance to mold, mildew, and insects than wood. Wood costs less upfront and has natural warmth, but it asks for regular cleaning and sealing to stay in good shape. We'll show you both and give you an honest read on what each means for your weekends.

Once the permit is issued, a straightforward single-level deck typically takes one to two weeks of construction; multi-level designs with stairs, railings, and built-in features take longer. We give you a clear schedule before we start — and keep you updated daily while we build.
