Local decks

What we look for on Richboro decks

Most Richboro houses are single homes from the 1970s. If yours has an older deck out back, here's what we check first.

  • 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

    Northampton's handout shows deck footings 36 inches down to undisturbed soil, and piers near a basement wall going 8 feet. A footing that's too shallow heaves every winter and takes the deck with it.

  • Worn wood deck boards with peeling paint along the side of a house, tools lying on the boards

    Worn boards, sound frame

    If the joists, beams and footings are solid, new boards and railings usually do the job for a lot less than a new deck. If the frame is soft, new boards on top won't fix it, and we'll tell you.

  • 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 Richboro 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 the footing, framing and section plans Northampton asks for, file three sets, and book the inspections.

  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.

    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 Richboro

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 Richboro

What does Northampton want for a deck permit?

Three sets of scaled drawings: footing and framing plans, a section, and stair, guard and handrail details. Decks over 5 feet high, or with a roof or a spa, need plans sealed by a design professional. We put it together.

How deep do deck footings go in Northampton?

The township's deck handout shows footings 36 inches down to undisturbed soil. Piers within 5 feet of a basement wall have to go 8 feet deep, measured from the bottom of the siding or the top of the foundation.

Can a deck hang off a cantilever?

Not in Northampton. The township's deck handout says decks can't be attached to cantilevers, so we support the deck on its own posts.

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.
