A deck or a set of entry stairs takes a beating in New England: snow, ice, salt and summer sun. Once boards are soft, railings wobble or steps flex underfoot, it stops being a cosmetic problem and becomes a safety one.

We build new decks, tear out and replace worn ones, and build exterior stairs with handrails and guardrails at front and back doors. Inside, we rebuild and repair stairs too. The deck with entry stairs on our home page is a recent example of our work.

Every job starts with the structure: posts, footings, ledger and joists. A deck is only as good as what holds it up, so we fix the frame first and finish with tight, even decking and railings.

The short answer

Does WS Construction build decks and stairs?

Yes. WS Construction and Remodeling builds new decks, replaces old decks and builds exterior entry stairs with railings, plus interior stairs, for homes and commercial properties across Greater Boston. We check the framing and footings, build square and solid, and leave the site clean. The estimate is free, with no visit fee.

Decks that handle New England winters

Many Greater Boston homes, from triple-deckers in Chelsea and Everett to older single-families, have back decks and porch stairs that were built decades ago and patched many times since. Freeze-thaw cycles loosen posts, and water trapped at the ledger rots the frame from the inside.

In Massachusetts, new decks and most structural deck work generally need a building permit, and inspectors look closely at footings, ledger attachment and railing height. Ask any contractor how they handle the permit before work starts.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on size, height, materials (pressure-treated wood or composite), railings and stairs. As a rough market range, a set of entry stairs can run a few thousand dollars, while many new decks in Greater Boston land somewhere between the low teens and well into five figures. We give you an exact number in a free estimate after seeing the space.

If the posts, footings and joists are solid, replacing boards and railings can be enough. If the frame is rotted, the ledger is loose or the deck moves when you walk on it, replacement is the safer choice. We check the structure at the free visit and tell you honestly which makes sense.

Yes. We build and rebuild front and back entry stairs, landings, handrails and guardrails on their own, and we repair or rebuild interior stairs too. Stairs that flex or railings that wobble are worth fixing before winter.

Most new decks and structural deck work in Massachusetts require a building permit from your town or city, and the work gets inspected. Rules vary by community. We go over what your project needs during the estimate so there are no surprises.
