Local questions
Building in Dorchester: Common Questions
Who issues deck permits in Dorchester?
Most attached decks, covered porches and additions in Dorchester need a building permit from the Municipality of Thames Centre. We prepare the drawings, submit the application and coordinate every inspection, so you never have to deal with the paperwork yourself.
Can a covered porch match my existing roof?
Yes. We match the pitch, shingles and trim to your house so the porch looks like part of the original build.
Do you work across Thames Centre?
Yes. We build in Dorchester and the surrounding Thames Centre area, as well as across the rest of London's north-west region.
Can you replace an old wood deck with composite?
Yes. We remove the old deck, check or rebuild the structure as needed, and install low-maintenance composite or PVC decking with new railings.
Do you build decks for newer subdivision homes?
Yes. Many newer Dorchester homes have walk-outs or raised patio doors, and we design decks, stairs and privacy screens to suit them.
Do you build mudroom or garage additions in Dorchester?
Yes. Garage and mudroom additions are a practical fit for busy family homes. We've completed this type of addition in rural Middlesex County and plan each one to blend with the existing house.
“We had our deck rebuilt from ground up and Patrick, Jeff and their team were excellent from first time meeting Jeff who came to do quote to the very end of the work being completed. They took care of everything ! The deck looks fantastic”
“We had to wait a bit but the wait was worth it. Our new front porch looks amazing. They even helped us out with a couple of side fences, something they don't usually do. I work awake nights and they were very accommodating to my schedule.”
