Deck Building in Waterbury, Connecticut
Waterbury is our home base — the Brass City, with neighborhoods built out between the 1890s and the 1960s. Our office is in Waterbury, at 64 Ellen St.
Deck Building for Waterbury homes
Most Waterbury decks are attached to two- and three-family houses from the brass-mill era, 1910s–1930s colonials on the hills, Hillside Victorians, and post-war capes and ranches in Town Plot and the East End. The age and style of the house decide how we attach the ledger and how tall the deck and stairs need to be.
Waterbury lots are tight and often steep, so decks tend to be raised off the back of the house with long stair runs. Ledgers on older homes need careful flashing because the original sill is rarely sound.
Every Waterbury 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.
