Service area

Hiring a Decks & Porches contractor in Bedford
File with the Bedford Building Department under 780 CMR. Any attached deck requires a building permit with footing and framing inspections. Properties within 100 feet of the Shawsheen River, its tributaries, or any mapped wetland need a Notice of Intent reviewed by the Bedford Conservation Commission before the building permit issues. Footings must reach 48 inches below grade. Guardrails on surfaces 30 or more inches above grade must be at least 36 inches tall with baluster spacing under 4 inches.
Deck costs in Bedford and the Middlesex County suburban market run in the upper-middle range for Massachusetts. A 300-square-foot pressure-treated deck on a Bedford colonial typically costs $15,000 to $22,000 installed. Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) at that footprint runs $22,000 to $34,000. The generous half-acre lot sizes support larger deck projects and pergola additions, which add $4,000 to $10,000. Conservation Commission filings for Shawsheen watershed lots add $500 to $1,500 and several weeks to the schedule.
Massachusetts requires a written contract and a Home Improvement Contractor registration for most residential decks & porches work; ask for the registration number and check it before paying a deposit.
