Custom Decks
Maximize Your Outdoor Living Space
Transform Your Outdoor Space with a Custom Deck
A well-built custom deck adds instant breathing room to your home, transforming your backyard into a stylish outdoor living area. Whether you want a quiet spot for morning coffee or a space big enough to host friends and family, the right design makes all the difference. We help homeowners create outdoor living areas that feel natural, comfortable, and built to last, no matter the size of the project.
Our team handles everything from brand-new deck builds to full remodels. If your current deck is worn, unsafe, or simply outdated, we can rebuild it with stronger materials, better layouts, and features that fit the way you actually use your yard. From composite decking and railings to custom steps, lighting, and built-in seating, we bring fresh ideas that elevate both style and function.
Every deck project begins with a clear plan. We walk you through design options, recommend materials that match your budget and lifestyle, and keep the process smooth from start to finish. The result is a durable, easy-to-maintain outdoor space that looks great and adds real value to your home.

The benefits of a custom deck design and remodel include:
Expands Your Outdoor Living Space. A remodeled deck gives you more usable space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining, turning your backyard into an extension of your home.
Improves Safety and Durability. Older decks often have structural issues you can’t see. A remodel replaces worn boards, weak framing, and outdated railings with safer, longer-lasting materials.
Customizes the Space to Your Lifestyle. Custom decks are designed to match your property’s architecture, layout, and lifestyle. Whether you want built-in seating, space for a grill, low-maintenance materials, or better traffic flow, a custom remodel gives you the features that actually fit how you live.
Enhances Curb Appeal and Aesthetics. A new design, modern railings, upgraded lighting, and cleaner lines make your outdoor space feel polished and inviting
Reduces Maintenance. Switching to composite decking or updated finishes means less sanding, staining, and repairs, saving you time and money in the long run.
Adds Warmth and Character. Wood details soften a space, making it feel more inviting, custom, and uniquely yours.
Creates Better Transitions to Your Yard. A redesigned deck can improve how you move between your home, patio, and backyard, making the whole outdoor area easier to use and enjoy.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing structure or designing from the ground up, Valois Home Improvements can help you create the outdoor space that’s right for you. Request a consultation and we will reach out to discuss your custom deck remodeling project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Custom Deck Remodeling
How much does a custom deck remodel cost in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, custom deck projects typically run between $37 and $73 per square foot. Basic wood decks fall on the lower end, while high-end composite or hardwood builds with extras like multi-level designs or built-ins, land on the higher side. The material you choose has the biggest impact on cost. While lower-priced options can look appealing upfront, they often bring more upkeep and repair costs down the road. This means you may end up spending more to keep the deck in good shape.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Massachusetts?
In most towns in Massachusetts, yes. Any structural changes, expansions, or full rebuilds require a permit. Your contractor typically handles the permitting process, ensuring the project meets local building codes and safety requirements. If you’re only doing minor cosmetic updates, a permit may not be needed.
How long does it take to design and build a new deck?
Most deck remodels take anywhere from one to three weeks, depending on the size of the deck, the condition of the existing structure, and the materials you choose. Smaller projects wrap up quickly, while full rebuilds or upgrades with custom features may take a little longer. Your contractor should give you a clear timeline before work begins.
