Permits

Buckingham's deck rules

Buckingham wants two sets of scaled drawings and a plot plan for a deck, plus workers' comp paperwork from the contractor. A deck over 30 inches needs a building permit, and if you have an HOA, its approval comes before zoning.

Local decks

What we look for on Buckingham decks

Buckingham is a big township with a lot of open land, and it counts wood decks as impervious surface. Deck size takes some planning here.

  • Two views side by side: new deck framing and joists before the boards go down, and a finished grey composite deck with white and black railings

    Footings and frame

    Buckingham's deck handout calls for hurricane clips at the joists, two tension ties to the house, and solid bridging on longer spans. Footings go below the frost line. We build all of it in.

  • Weathered wood deck boards with moss and worn stain beside the back of a house

    Impervious surface

    Buckingham counts wood decks as impervious, and an uncovered deck or patio over 500 square feet needs a stormwater application. We work out the numbers before we design anything.

  • Deck resurfaced with brown composite boards and new white railings

    Composite or wood

    Trex and TimberTech boards don't rot, splinter or need staining, and they cost more up front. Pressure-treated wood costs less and needs sealing every couple of years. Either way, the frame underneath is treated lumber built to code. We'll price both if you want to compare.

Frame first

Repair or replace? We look underneath 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.

How a Buckingham deck job goes

  1. Free estimate

    We measure, look at what's there now, and check the frame and footings.

  2. Written estimate

    Boards, railings, framing and footings, each on paper, so you can see where the money goes.

  3. Permits

    We draw two sets of plans and the plot plan, get HOA approval if you have one, and file the zoning and building permits.

  4. The build

    Footings go below the frost line at the depth your township sets, the frame goes up to code in treated lumber, and then the boards, stairs and railings.

    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.

  • Smokey IGoogle review

    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

What a new deck costs in Buckingham

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.

Questions about decks in Buckingham

Do I need a permit for a deck in Buckingham?

Yes. A deck under 30 inches needs a zoning permit, and one over 30 inches needs a building permit too, with two sets of scaled drawings and a plot plan. If you have an HOA, its approval comes first.

How close to the property line can a deck go?

An uncovered deck can reach up to 10 feet into the required rear yard, but no closer than 12 feet to the rear or any side property line.

Does a deck count as impervious surface?

In Buckingham, yes. Wood decks count as impervious, and an uncovered deck or patio over 500 square feet needs a stormwater management application.

Trex or TimberTech, which is better?

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.

Should I repair my deck or replace it?

Look underneath before you decide. If the frame and footings 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.
