Our Services in Ellington

Ellington sits a short run east of our base. Every decking service we offer is run by in-house crews.

01

A farmhouse near Crystal Lake needs different detailing than a newer colonial off Pinney Street. As a deck builder familiar with both, we adjust framing, surface, and railing to each home. Materials include pressure-treated, composite, PVC, and exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru.

02

Older Ellington farmhouses suit painted wood or wrought iron. Newer builds carry composite, cable, or glass cleanly. Other options include vinyl, aluminum, and steel. Skirting covers lattice, solid wood, board patterns, stone, brick, faux stone, vinyl, and composite.

03

A screened porch makes good use of Ellington summers. Open farmland and lake water both draw plenty of insect pressure. As an experienced deck builder, we handle covered porches, screened porches, sunrooms, three-season rooms, and paver or concrete patios. Helical piers handle lakeside or sandy soils, traditional footings handle the rest.

04

A covered deck holds up through humid summer afternoons. A deck contractor who builds deck and roof together keeps pitches aligned with the existing home. We install shingle-topped covers, open gable, hip, flat, and screened-in porch roofs. Gutter-and-channel underdeck systems turn the space below into a dry patio.

05

Plenty of Ellington projects start as a deck and grow. As a full-service deck builder, we carry the work into bedroom and master suite additions, family rooms, sunrooms, garages, siding, and roof replacements.

Outdoor Living Potential in Ellington

Crystal Lake and Waterfront Builds

Properties along Crystal Lake face moisture and freeze-thaw exposure year-round. Corrosion-resistant fasteners and marine-grade hardware help outdoor builds hold up.

Working Farms and Open Country

Northern Ellington still holds working dairy and produce farms. Builds near agricultural land often need to clear conservation rules before construction.

Hilly Suburban Lots

Newer subdivisions sit on grade changes that call for stepped framing or multi-level designs. Helical piers handle these slopes well.

Fun Fact About Ellington

Ellington is one of the few Connecticut towns where commercial dairy farming still anchors the local economy. The Ellington Agricultural Fair has run every September since the late 1800s.
