Most deck and porch builds take 1–3 weeks, depending on the size, design, materials, and weather conditions. Smaller decks can be completed in just a few days, while larger, custom builds or covered porches may take longer. We always provide a detailed project timeline before starting any work.

Every project we build is custom-designed to fit your home’s layout, style, and outdoor living needs. Our team works with you to create a design that complements your home’s architecture and maximizes usable space. We also offer 3D renderings upon request so you can visualize the finished product.

We offer a variety of high quality decking materials, including pressure-treated wood, composite decking (such as Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon), and PVC. Each option has its own advantages in terms of cost, maintenance, and longevity. We’ll help you choose the right one for your home and budget.

Yes, we provide flexible financing options to make your deck, porch, or barn project affordable. Whether you’re planning a full outdoor transformation or just adding a small structure, we’ll help you find a payment plan that works for you.

Maintenance depends on the material:

Composite & PVC decking: Virtually maintenance-free—just wash occasionally with mild soap and water.

Wood decking: Should be cleaned, stained, and sealed every 2–3 years to preserve its appearance and prevent rot.

We can also schedule maintenance through our Sensible Shield membership for ongoing care.

All of our outdoor construction projects come with a 5-year workmanship warranty, along with manufacturer warranties for decking materials. Composite and PVC materials often include 25–50 year limited warranties against fading and structural damage.

All sheds and barns are custom-built on-site for superior strength and appearance. We tailor every structure to your specifications—whether you need extra storage, a workshop, or a traditional post-and-beam barn.

We proudly serve homeowners across Essex, Middlesex, and Worcester Counties (MA); Hillsborough, Merrimack, Rockingham, and Strafford Counties (NH); and York County (ME). If you’re in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Maine, Sensible Home Solutions has you covered.
