Extend Your Living Space Outdoors
A well designed deck is more than just an outdoor platform, it's an extension of your home that creates space for morning coffee, family cookouts, and evening gatherings under the stars. On the South Shore, where summers are meant to be spent outdoors, a quality deck transforms how you use and enjoy your property.
At Model Home Renovations, we build decks that are engineered for New England's demanding climate. From footings to framing to finished decking, every detail is executed with precision. We work with premium composite materials from TimberTech and Wolf, as well as traditional pressure-treated and hardwood lumber, ensuring your deck looks beautiful and performs flawlessly for decades.
Decking Materials We Work With
We help you choose the right material for your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Composite Decking
Composite decking from brands like TimberTech and Wolf delivers the warmth and beauty of real wood without the constant maintenance. These engineered products resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold growth, making them ideal for the humid South Shore climate. Available in a wide range of colors and grain patterns, composite decking maintains its appearance year after year with nothing more than occasional cleaning.
- Virtually maintenance-free
- Fade, stain, and scratch resistant
- 25-50 year warranties
PVC Decking
PVC decking is the ultimate low-maintenance option for homeowners who want a deck that looks pristine with minimal effort. Made entirely from synthetic materials, PVC boards won't absorb moisture, making them completely resistant to rot, mold, and mildew. They're also lighter than composite, making them an excellent choice for elevated decks and rooftop installations.
- 100% moisture resistant
- Lightweight and durable
- Ideal for coastal environments
Pressure-Treated Wood
Pressure-treated lumber remains a popular and budget-friendly choice for deck construction. Today's treated wood is infused with preservatives that protect against rot, decay, and insect damage. When properly maintained with regular staining or sealing, a pressure-treated deck provides decades of reliable service at a fraction of the cost of premium materials.
- Most affordable option
- Naturally strong and versatile
- Accepts stains and finishes beautifully
Hardwood Decking
For homeowners who want the unmatched beauty of natural wood, we offer premium hardwood decking options including Ipe, Mahogany, and Cumaru. These dense tropical hardwoods are naturally resistant to rot, insects, and weathering. They develop a gorgeous patina over time and can last 40+ years with proper care, making them the ultimate investment in outdoor living.
- Unmatched natural beauty
- Extremely durable (40+ year lifespan)
- Naturally resistant to rot and insects
