Why Arlington Homeowners Choose D&G for Decks

FAQs About Deck Building Services in Arlington, MA

How do you want to use the space?

This is the first question we ask at every consultation. A deck for weekend grilling looks different from one built for large gatherings or a quiet morning coffee spot. In Arlington, where yard space is limited, we design the layout around your priorities so every square foot is usable.

Most composite deck projects in Arlington range from $25,000 to $55,000, depending on size, material tier (Trex Select vs. Transcend, TimberTech Pro vs. Prime+), railing style, and features like built-in lighting or benches. Multi-level decks and complex layouts are on the higher end. We provide a detailed written estimate after the on-site consultation.

Yes. Arlington requires a building permit for most deck construction. We handle the permit application, including structural drawings and site plans, and schedule all required inspections. This is part of the project — you don’t need to deal with Town Hall separately.

Most standard deck projects take 1–2 weeks of on-site construction, after permits are approved. Larger multi-level builds or projects with extensive site work may take 3 weeks. Permit approval in Arlington typically runs 2–4 weeks. We give you a clear timeline at signing.

Both are premium composite brands with excellent warranties. Trex Transcend has a slightly more wood-grain texture; TimberTech Prime+ offers a wider color range at a mid-tier price point. Both resist fading, staining, and mold. We carry full sample boards so you can see and feel the difference before choosing.

Yes — this is a big part of what we do. Many Arlington properties have modest yards, slopes toward the back, or tight setbacks. We design multi-level decks, step-downs, and angled layouts that work with the grade and maximize usable space without crowding the lot.

We build the structural frame with pressure-treated lumber on every project — that’s the industry standard for framing. The decking surface (boards, railing, trim) is where you choose between composite and wood. Most Arlington homeowners go composite for the low maintenance, but we can build a full pressure-treated deck if budget is the priority.
