Custom Decks

Outdoor living, built to last.

A deck lives or dies below the surface. Before we set a single board we dig footings down past the Massachusetts frost line (roughly 48 inches) so the ground heaving every winter can't lift a corner and rack the whole structure. That below-grade work is invisible once the deck is finished, but it's the difference between a deck that's still level in fifteen years and one that develops a slope and a bounce after three.

The right boards for how you'll actually use it

MP & Son Construction is a certified Wolf decking installer. Wolf decking is a featured option for homeowners seeking a lower-maintenance outdoor space, and we can walk you through colors, board layouts, railings, and finishing details. Our Backyard Deck project in North Easton features Wolf Serenity decking. We also build with natural wood and pressure-treated materials, and discuss other products when they suit the project. We will explain the cost, care, and appearance of the options so your choice fits the way you plan to use the deck.

Where a deck gets interesting is in the extras that make it a room rather than a platform: multi-level layouts that step down to a patio or pool, built-in bench seating, low-voltage stair and post lighting for the evenings, and pergolas for shade. We handle the carpentry and the permitting together, so the engineering, the inspections, and the finish details all line up instead of being someone else's problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this service.

Footings have to bear below the frost line, which runs about 48 inches in our area. Going that deep keeps winter frost heave from lifting and twisting the structure. We size and space the footings to the load of your specific deck.

We are certified Wolf decking installers and can help you compare Wolf decking with natural wood and pressure-treated options. The best choice depends on the appearance you prefer, your budget, and the maintenance you want to take on. We review the selected product and its care requirements as part of planning your deck.

In nearly every town we serve, yes. You'll also need an inspection of the footings and framing. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspections as part of the job, so you're not chasing town hall on your own.

A straightforward single-level deck is usually a week to ten days of work once permits are in hand. Multi-level decks, built-ins, lighting, and pergolas add time. We give you a realistic schedule up front rather than an optimistic one.
