Two Brand New Decks and a Hot Tub Exterior Refresh in Marstons Mills

The old decks here were well past their prime. Weathered, gray, splitting boards - the kind of surface that makes you think twice before walking out barefoot. The hot tub exterior wasn't in much better shape either, sitting on a makeshift base with dated wood skirting that had seen too many Cape Cod winters. This customer came to us ready for a real upgrade, and we were glad to be the ones to deliver it.

We built two completely new composite decks from the ground up. The main entry deck off the back of the house features a diagonal board pattern that terminates cleanly at the stair edges - a detail that takes more time to plan and execute but makes a big visual difference. Wide, angled steps with crisp white risers and dark brown composite treads lead down to the brick patio below. The railing system ties it all together with matching dark brown posts and metal balusters throughout.

The upper hot tub deck is a different beast entirely. More square footage, a built-in bench along the railing, and the full hot tub surround rebuilt with clean white panel skirting. The composite decking runs straight and tight, and the whole platform feels solid - no flex, no wobble. That matters a lot when you've got a loaded hot tub sitting on a structure.

Details like this don't happen by accident. We paid close attention to how the two deck levels connect visually and structurally, making sure the finished product feels like one cohesive outdoor space rather than two separate jobs bolted together. That kind of thinking is what separates a deck that looks good in photos from one that actually holds up and functions well for years.

Repeat customers trust us with projects like this because they know we're not cutting corners on materials or framing. Composite decking means no annual staining, no rotting boards, and no splinters. For a home on Cape Cod where moisture and salt air do real damage over time, that's not just a luxury - it's the smart call.
