Decks for Millis Homes
The most common failure we see on Millis 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 freeze-thaw swings that run all winter, snow loads on the heavy side of the state average, and a humid summer that undoes sloppy joinery, 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 Millis Properties Actually Need
- The housing stock here
- Homes here have typically been added onto more than once, and the roof-to-wall junction where an addition met the original house is where leaks are found.
- Working on the site
- Wooded back lots mean rear elevations get little sun, so anything on the north side stays wet and needs materials chosen for it.
- Permits and inspections
- A small building department means fewer inspection slots per week, so the schedule is built around their calendar.
What Goes Wrong in MetroWest
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.
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.
