Harwich is where the Lower Cape begins, about 30 minutes east of our shop. Harwich Port, with Wychmere and Saquatucket harbors, has a concentration of well-kept waterfront homes where exterior appearance matters and the salt exposure is real. West and South Harwich are full of mid-century Capes along Route 28, and East Harwich has newer homes toward the Chatham line. Harwich homeowners tend to hold their properties for a long time, so we get asked for work that will last decades rather than a quick fix before a sale.
Decks near Harwich's harbors get constant salt spray. We build with composite decking and stainless steel fasteners and railing hardware, which is the only combination that holds up on the water.
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 Harwich 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.
How far in advance should I book a deck building project in Harwich?
For Harwich and the rest of the Lower Cape we schedule in blocks to make the drive efficient. Booking a few weeks ahead is ideal, and we give you a fixed start date once the estimate is approved.
