Bristol, PA
Dynasty Construction & Roofing builds and restores decks in Bristol Borough and Bristol Township, in Trex and TimberTech composite or wood. We're based in Warminster and licensed in Pennsylvania (PA215236). In the borough's historic districts, HARB keeps decks low, small and out of sight from the street. Call (267) 270-0791.
Decks
Every photo here is one of our own jobs, and each one says which town it was in.
Permits
Bristol Borough is the old town on the river, and Bristol Township surrounds it. Both use Bristol addresses. In the borough's four historic districts, HARB has its own guidelines for decks, so we check where you are first.
Local decks
The borough is mostly older attached houses. The township is mostly single homes from the 1950s on.
The guidelines don't recommend wood decks that can be seen from the street, and they ask for simple painted wood railings. Composite decking is allowed on porches on the side and back of the house.
Footings have to sit below the frost line, at the depth the township's code sets. A footing above it heaves every winter and takes the deck with it. On an older deck, that's the first thing we check.
Trex and TimberTech boards don't rot, splinter or need staining, and they cost more up front. Wood costs less to build and needs sealing every couple of years. We'll price both if you want to compare.
Frame first
Most tired decks don't need tearing out. We check the frame, the footings and where the deck attaches to the house. If those are sound, new boards and railings usually do the job for a lot less than a new deck. If the frame is rotten, new boards on top won't fix it, and we'll tell you.
We measure, look at what's there now, and check the frame and footings.
Boards, railings, framing and footings, each on paper, so you can see where the money goes.
We work out whether you're in the borough or the township and whether HARB applies. Then we pull the permit.
Footings go below the frost line at the depth your township sets, the frame goes up to code, and then the boards, stairs and railings.
In their words
Replacing a roof isn't something you do everyday. But in doing so you want to make sure you have someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and efficient. When I met Rich and Jack from Dynasty Construction & Rofing they made me feel comfortable immediately. I knew they knew their stuff and they handled everything for me. I didn't have time to worry or doubt because their confidence and professionalism surpassed all my expectations. Jack walked me through everything step by step and answered any questions or concerns patiently. I definitely recommend them because they definitely have your best interest in mind.
I recently hired Dynasty Construction & Roofing to take care of some issues with my roof, including replacing missing shingles and recapping my chimney, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the start, they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with. They clearly explained the scope of work, provided a fair estimate, and showed up on time ready to get the job done. The quality of their workmanship really stood out and everything was completed with attention to detail, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. The new shingles blend in perfectly with the existing roof, and the chimney recap was done cleanly and securely. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job, which I really appreciated.
Rich and Jack & his team were outstanding! Their work is great & pricing is fair. We had a portion of our roof repaired that caused a severe leak (and hole) in our ceiling. They shared drone shots of the exterior as the work progressed. They also noticed other areas of concern & repaired at no additional cost. Jack also worked throughout the weekend to complete the inside drywall repair. Will definitely use for any future work! Highly recommend.
Price
We don't price decks over the phone. Composite costs more up front than wood, and a deck up on posts costs more than one near the ground. What moves the number is the size, the height, the boards you pick, the railings and stairs, and whether the frame underneath can stay.
Composite costs more on day one and a lot less every summer after. Wood costs less to build and needs sealing every couple of years. We'll price both if you want to compare.

In Bristol Township, decks are on the residential permit list. In the borough's historic districts, you need a Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts. We check where your house is and handle the paperwork.
The deck floor should be no higher than the first floor, and the deck no bigger than 25% of the first floor's living area. Wood decks visible from the street aren't recommended, and railings should be simple painted wood pickets.
Both use Bristol addresses. The borough is the old town on the river, and the township surrounds it. Give us the address and we'll check.
Below the frost line, at the depth your township's code sets. A footing that sits above it moves every winter, and the deck moves with it.
Both make good composite boards. The difference is mostly the color range, the board profiles and the price of the line you choose. We go through the options with you at the estimate.
