Barnstable is the largest town on Cape Cod and it is where Braun Construction lives. Our shop is in Centerville, and most of the photos on this page were taken within a few miles of it. The town is really seven villages: Centerville, Osterville, Cotuit, Marstons Mills, West Barnstable, Barnstable Village and Hyannis. Each has its own character. Osterville and Cotuit are full of shingle-style waterfront homes; Marstons Mills has newer subdivisions; the north side along Route 6A has antique Capes that fall under the Old King's Highway historic district. We know the building department, the inspectors and the historic review process because we deal with them every week.
Barnstable's south-side waterfront homes get full sun and salt spray. Composite decking with stainless or coated fasteners is our standard recommendation for Osterville, Cotuit and Centerville decks.
A deck on Cape Cod lives outdoors in salt air, direct sun and freeze-thaw winters. Decks built with the wrong fasteners rust-streak in two seasons; decks with an unflashed ledger rot the house wall; decks with undersized framing sag and fail inspection. We build decks that pass the town inspection the first time and still look right ten summers later. Most of our deck work is composite decking on pressure-treated framing, with hidden fasteners, stainless or coated hardware and railing systems designed for coastal exposure.
Every deck we build starts with a design conversation and a permit. We handle the drawings, submit to the town building department, set the footings to the required depth, flash the ledger properly, and frame to code. Then we install the decking and railing you chose, whether that is composite, mahogany or PVC, and finish with stairs, lighting or a screened porch if the project calls for it. You get a deck that is documented, inspected and built to last.
Problems we solve
- Soft or spongy boards and a bouncy walking surface
- Rust streaks from corroded screws and hangers
- A ledger board that was never flashed to the house
- Wobbly railings that no longer meet code
- A 1980s deck with footings that heaved
Materials we work with
- Capped composite decking with hidden fasteners
- PVC decking for low-maintenance waterfront use
- Mahogany and pressure-treated wood decking
- Stainless and hot-dipped galvanized structural hardware
- Composite, aluminum and cable railing systems

Frequently asked questions by Barnstable homeowners
Straight answers on licensing, permits, timelines and materials.
Have More Questions? Contact UsDoes Braun Construction have up-to-date licenses and insurance?
Yes, absolutely. We are a fully licensed and insured construction company in Massachusetts. This ensures total protection for you, your property, and our crew during your deck building project.
How long will my deck building project take?
One of our core values is strict adherence to deadlines. During your initial consultation, we will provide a precise timeline and stick to it.
Does the budget cover all costs involved?
Yes. Honesty is our trademark. We provide clear, comprehensive quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for to maximize the return on your investment.
How much more does a composite deck cost than a wood deck?
The material costs more up front, typically 30 to 50 percent more than pressure-treated wood for the decking itself. Over ten years, once you factor in staining, sealing and board replacement on a wood deck, composite usually costs less.
How do I know if my deck is safe?
Warning signs include a bouncy or sagging surface, rust-streaked hardware, a ledger that is pulling away from the house, wobbly railings and rotted posts at the base. If you see any of these, have it inspected before the summer season.
My Barnstable home is on Route 6A. Does the historic district affect my deck building project?
It can. Properties visible from Route 6A on the north side of Barnstable are reviewed by the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee for exterior changes. We prepare the application, attend the hearing if needed, and spec materials the committee typically approves.
