- We just bought in Pembroke and want to add a deck — where do we start?
- With a design consultation at the house: layout, size, material options, railing style, and features like stairs or lighting rough-in, all walked through on the actual site. From there you get a written estimate with materials and labor broken out. Decks attached to the house or over roughly 200 square feet need a Pembroke building permit, which we handle. A straightforward build is typically 3–7 working days once the permit is in hand.
- What makes a deck last in Pembroke’s climate?
- The parts you can’t see. Footings below NH’s 48-inch frost line so winter doesn’t heave the structure; a ledger board attached with structural screws and properly flashed so water never works in behind the siding; joist spacing and fasteners matched to the decking material. Composite surfaces shrug off freeze-thaw that checks and grays wood, but no surface saves a deck built on a bad foundation — which is why the inspection process protects you and we build to it.
- Does A&E Home Improvement offer decks services throughout Pembroke?
- Yes — all of Pembroke is inside our active service area, and decks is one of the services we most want to be doing there. We're based in nearby Tilton, insured, and owner-operated, so scheduling an on-site visit in Pembroke is easy.
- How do I get a decks estimate in Pembroke?
- Call 603-455-0221 or use the contact form and tell us about the project. We'll schedule an on-site visit in Pembroke — most within the week — and put the estimate in writing, itemized, with no obligation.
