Decks & Porches in Greater Boston, done the Vanguard way

Isometric illustration of decks & porches work on a Greater Boston home

Whether it's a composite deck that never needs staining, a classic farmer's porch across the front of the house or a screened three season room, Vanguard Construction Group builds outdoor spaces from the footings up. Properly sized, properly attached to the house and finished with railings and stairs that meet Massachusetts building code.

The difference between a deck that lasts thirty years and one that sags in five is in what you can't see: the footings, the ledger attachment and the framing. That's exactly where we don't cut corners.

We build decks and porches across Saugus, Wakefield, Melrose, Lynn, Peabody and Revere, and we handle the building permit and inspections with your town from start to finish.

What's included

  • New custom deck design and construction
  • Composite decking for a low maintenance finish
  • Pressure treated and hardwood decks
  • Farmer's porches and front porch construction
  • Screened porches and three season rooms
  • Deck resurfacing, railing and stair replacement
  • Structural repairs, footings and code compliance

Common questions

Composite or wood, what's the real difference?
Wood costs less up front but needs staining or sealing every couple of years. Composite costs more on day one and then asks almost nothing of you for decades. We'll price your project both ways so you can decide with real numbers.
Do I need a permit for a new deck?
In Massachusetts, almost always yes, and that's a good thing, because it means the structure gets inspected. We pull the permit, build to code and meet the inspector so you don't have to.
When is the best time to build a deck?
We build decks most of the year. If you book in the fall or winter, your deck is usually ready the moment the warm weather arrives, and scheduling is more flexible.
