Deck Building in Middlebury, Connecticut
Middlebury is a small, mostly residential town of larger lots, farmland, and lakes west of Waterbury. About 7 miles — roughly 15 minutes — from our Waterbury office.
Deck Building for Middlebury homes
Most Middlebury decks are attached to 1970s–2000s colonials and capes on one- to two-acre lots, estate homes, older farmhouses, and seasonal-turned-year-round homes on the lakes. The age and style of the house decide how we attach the ledger and how tall the deck and stairs need to be.
With room to spread out, Middlebury deck projects are often large composite decks with wide stairs to a patio or yard. Lakefront lots need extra attention to drainage and footings.
Every Middlebury 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.
