Deck Building And Repair In Andover, MA

A deck project in Andover lives or dies on what you can't see: the ledger connection, the footings, and how the frame ties to the house. Brightwork plans that first and the decking, railings and stairs second, and you get the scope, the price and the schedule in writing before anything starts.

Planning Your Deck In Andover

Andover's own permit procedure names decks specifically: a deck is one of the project types that needs Board of Health approval on the building permit, unlike siding, roofing, window or bathroom renovation work, which the town exempts from that step. We build that approval into the schedule as a standard part of the permit, not a surprise partway through.

The town also publishes the order its inspections run in, each on a day's notice; we schedule the required inspections in the order the town publishes.

Where a building permit applies, we file it with the Building Division, Department of Community Development and Planning, online through the town's OpenGov portal, and the required inspections, including the footing inspection before backfill, go into the written schedule.

How A Brightwork Deck Project Runs

The visit comes first. We look at the ledger connection, the footings, the framing and how the deck ties to the house, and we tell you what we find rather than what would be easiest to sell. On a deck, the part you can see is the cheap part. Then you get a written scope and a written price before anything is committed.

Once we start you hear from us on the days we are working, and nothing changes without your written approval.
