Decks and Porches Built for New England Weather in Boston
Custom Outdoor Structures Designed for Durability and Function
Boston residents choose deck and porch construction because outdoor living space extends your home's usability through three seasons—and sometimes four with proper design. S & A General Contracting, Inc. has been building and renovating decks and porches since 2018, backed by over 15 years of construction experience. The company is fully licensed and insured, with direct owner involvement ensuring every project meets structural standards and aesthetic expectations. Whether you're replacing a rotted deck or adding a covered porch, the team handles custom layouts, structural framing, and detailed finish work designed to withstand Boston's freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture.
When dealing with outdoor construction in Boston, material selection matters as much as craftsmanship. The team specifies pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or hardwood options based on your budget and maintenance preferences. Structural framing accounts for snow loads and wind exposure common in urban and suburban Boston neighborhoods. Railings, stairs, and trim receive the same attention to detail as interior finish work, creating outdoor spaces that feel cohesive with your home's architecture.
Instead of generic templates, each deck or porch begins with a site evaluation and consultation. The owner reviews your property's layout, drainage patterns, and existing structural conditions before drafting a custom plan. Permits are coordinated through Boston's Inspectional Services Department, and construction proceeds with clear scheduling and communication. The team handles excavation, post installation, framing, decking, and finish details—no subcontracting of core carpentry work.
Projects serving Boston account for tight lot lines, historic district guidelines, and the need for durable construction in variable weather. The team is familiar with both triple-decker porches in Dorchester and freestanding decks in West Roxbury. Structural framing uses galvanized hardware and proper flashing to prevent water intrusion. Finish work includes custom railings, skirting, and trim that match your home's existing details. The result is an outdoor space built for safety, longevity, and daily use.
