Decks in Derry, NH

Derry, NH’s family neighborhoods were built for backyard living, and A&E Home Improvement builds the decks that deliver it — an insured, owner-operated contractor a straight run down I-93 from Tilton. Plenty of Derry’s 1990s subdivisions came with builder-grade pressure-treated decks that are now aging out, so much of our work here is rebuilding better: footings actually below the 48-inch frost line, ledgers bolted and flashed to current standards, code railings, and decking in pressure-treated pine or composite from Trex, Fiberon, and TimberTech. Permit pulled with the town before the first hole.

Decks questions from Derry homeowners

My 1990s Derry deck feels wobbly — can it be fixed, or does it need rebuilding?
Depends where the wobble lives. Loose railings and worn deck boards are fixable on a sound frame. But 1990s builder decks often have the problems that don’t patch: shallow footings that heave with frost, undersized framing at today’s span tables, and nailed ledger connections — the failure mode that drops decks. We’ll inspect it honestly for free: if the frame is sound we’ll say “repair,” and if it isn’t we’ll show you exactly why, at the connections, not with hand-waving.
Can you reuse my existing deck frame and just replace the boards?
Sometimes — if the footings are at depth, the framing is sized right and rot-free, and the ledger is properly bolted and flashed, new composite over a sound frame is a legitimate money-saver and we’ll recommend it. The honest catch: composite manufacturers specify joist spacing that older frames don’t always meet, and warranty compliance requires meeting it. We check all of that in one site visit and tell you which project you actually have — resurface or rebuild — with a price for each.
