Yes. We manage the entire building permit process for all custom decks, porches, and home additions across the NH Seacoast. From initial application to final inspection, we ensure your project is fully code-compliant and meets all local zoning requirements in towns like Portsmouth, Dover, and Exeter, providing you a completely worry-free build.
Premium materials like TimberTech and AZEK PVC decking offer superior durability and are virtually maintenance-free. Unlike wood, these synthetic materials resist mold, rot, and insects, and they never require the constant cycle of staining or painting. Choosing high-performance composite saves you significant time and money over the lifespan of your deck while providing a much higher resale value for your NH home.
Beyond expert deck construction, we are trusted specialists in major home expansions and living space transformations. Our high-value construction services include ADUs (Additional Dwelling Units), year-round Basement Remodeling, and Finished Rooms Over Garage (FROG). Each project is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing home’s architecture while maximizing your property’s functional square footage.
Our commitment to superior craftsmanship starts with meticulous framing, building a foundation that is just as high-quality as the finish. We use advanced structural techniques and moisture-resistant Versatex trim to ensure your project is built specifically to withstand the harsh New Hampshire climate. With three generations of experience, we focus on structural integrity and longevity that goes far beyond standard building codes.
We proudly serve homeowners throughout the NH Seacoast region and surrounding communities. Our primary service areas include Nottingham, Dover, Portsmouth, Exeter, Hampton, Rye, and Rochester. Whether you are looking for a deck replacement in Portsmouth or a new porch in Dover, our local team is ready to provide expert service right in your neighborhood.
