Permits

Borough or township? The rules are different

A Newtown address can mean the borough or Newtown Township, which surrounds it on every side. They handle decks differently, and the borough's historic district adds its own review, so we check which one you're in first.

Local decks

What we look for on Newtown decks

Most of Newtown Township went up in the 1980s and 1990s. A wood deck from then has been through more than 30 winters.

  • 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

    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.

  • Weathered wood deck and stairs with peeling red stain and worn railings, patio furniture behind

    Old wood decks

    Peeling stain and soft boards don't always mean a new deck. If the joists and footings are sound, new boards and railings usually do it. We check before we quote.

  • 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. Wood costs less to build and needs sealing every couple of years. 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 Newtown 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 work out whether you need zoning only or zoning and building, draw the plans, and pull the permits.

  4. The build

    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.

  • Mirjeta GashiGoogle review

    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 Newtown

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 Newtown

Do I need a permit for a deck in Newtown?

In Newtown Township, a deck under 30 inches above grade needs a zoning permit, and one 30 inches or higher needs zoning and building permits. In the borough, decks need an impervious surface permit and a zoning use permit. We pull whatever yours needs.

Does HARB review decks in the borough?

In the historic district, porches, decks and railings are on HARB's list when you can see them from a street or sidewalk. A deck tucked behind the house is a different story. We'll check yours.

How deep do deck footings go?

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.

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.
