Custom composite decks built for Arlington’s tight lots and dense neighborhoods. Trex and TimberTech certified installer. Designed around your yard — not a catalog template. Google Guaranteed. 150+ five-star reviews.






Arlington is one of the densest suburbs northwest of Boston — colonials, Capes, and bungalows on modest lots with tight setbacks and neighbors close on every side. A deck here has to be designed around the space you actually have, not dropped in from a cookie-cutter plan.

Posted on Curtis MatthewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house in Danvers needed new siding and trim, and this was not an easy project. There were surprises once the old siding came off, but John walked us through everything calmly and professionally. The final result looks incredible and feels built to last.Posted on Joshua DixTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional operation. Clear contract, good communication, and high-quality work. Our new roof looks great and the flashing details are far better than what we had before.Posted on Imani YussifTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re in Marblehead, close to the water, and needed exterior work that could actually stand up to the elements. D&G Exteriors replaced our roof and trim, and the difference in quality compared to previous work on the house is obvious.Posted on Miguel RojasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John took the time to explain things without talking down to us, which we really appreciated. The siding project went smoothly and the house looks brand new.Posted on Isaiah TuckerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Quality workmanship. No BS. Would hire D&G Exteriors again without hesitation.Posted on Zamer GambrellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We live right on the ocean in Gloucester, and the weather absolutely beats up our house — constant wind, salt spray, storms rolling in off the water. After years of patching things, we finally decided to hire D&G Exteriors for a full roof replacement and some badly needed trim repairs. I’m so glad we did. Working on a house this close to the shoreline is no simple job. The crew had to deal with strong winds almost every day, and once they pulled the old shingles off, we found sections of the roof deck that were softened from years of salt exposure. John didn’t overreact or try to turn it into a huge problem — he showed us the damage, explained what needed to be replaced, and kept everything straightforward and fair. Despite the tough conditions, the team worked cleanly and efficiently. You could tell they were used to handling challenging environments. They installed new CertainTeed shingles, repaired the compromised areas, and replaced all the rotten fascia and trim with PVC so we won’t have to worry about it again. The house looks incredible now — sharper lines, cleaner edges, and a roof that finally feels like it can handle a real coastal storm. The best part was how professional the whole process was. They kept the site tidy even with the wind constantly blowing debris around, communicated every day, and never left us guessing about what was happening next. If you live anywhere near the water and need roofing or exterior work, D&G Exteriors is absolutely the company you want. Five stars, without hesitation.Posted on brian haskinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re in Ipswich, and hired D&G Exteriors to replace our roof and correct a long-standing issue around a valley that had leaked during heavy rain for years. Previous repairs never fully solved it. John identified the problem immediately, reworked the flashing detail, and rebuilt that section properly instead of just patching it again. Since the replacement, we’ve been through multiple hard storms with zero issues. The roof looks great, but more importantly, the problem is finally gone. Very happy with the work and the attention to detail.
Every Arlington deck project starts with the yard — not a product catalog. We assess your lot, measure setbacks, check grade and drainage, and design a deck that fits the space and how you want to use it.

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.
We’re a Trex Certified Installer and a TimberTech PRO Contractor, Google Guaranteed, BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and NRCA Affiliated. These certifications mean we’re factory-trained, meet manufacturer standards, and our work is backed by the strongest available warranties.
