Deck Building in Cheshire, Connecticut
Cheshire is a suburban town with a historic village center and neighborhoods built mostly between the 1950s and 1990s. About 11 miles — roughly 20 minutes — from our Waterbury office.
Deck Building for Cheshire homes
Most Cheshire decks are attached to 1960s–1990s colonials and split-levels on generous lots, plus 18th- and 19th-century homes in the Cheshire Village historic district. The age and style of the house decide how we attach the ledger and how tall the deck and stairs need to be.
Cheshire backyards are big and flat by local standards, so we build a lot of larger ground-level and multi-level composite decks here, often replacing the original 1980s pressure-treated deck.
Every Cheshire job gets a written fixed scope before work starts. For the full breakdown of materials, typical costs, and our process, see our deck building guide.
