Decks for Medway Homes
The most common failure we see on Medway decks is the ledger: the board bolting the deck to the house. Done without proper flashing it channels water straight into the band joist, and given snow that arrives wet and heavy, dozens of freeze-thaw cycles between December and March, and summer humidity that finds untreated timber, that rots quietly behind the siding for years.
A deck is a structure, not a surface. Footings below frost, a ledger flashed properly into the house, and guardrails that meet code - get those right and the decking material is the fun part.
What Medway Properties Actually Need
- The housing stock here
- Split-level homes from the 1960s and 1970s dominate here, and the low-slope roof section over the entry is almost always the first assembly to fail.
- Working on the site
- Rolling ground moves spring melt toward foundations on the downhill elevation, so drainage gets addressed as part of any exterior work.
- Permits and inspections
- The town requires a plot plan for additions and decks, and will not issue without setbacks clearly dimensioned.
What Goes Wrong in MetroWest
Frost heave
Footings that stop short of frost depth lift and drop every winter until the deck is visibly out of level and pulling at the house.
Rot at the ledger
An unflashed ledger sends water into the band joist. It is the most dangerous deck failure there is, and it is completely hidden.
Unpermitted work
A deck built without a permit and footing inspection becomes a problem at closing when you sell - and sometimes a safety issue long before that.
