Boston Hardwood Decks is a Malden, Massachusetts contractor focused on hardwood and composite decks, repairs, resurfacing, rebuilds, and pergolas. The company says it has operated since 2016, is locally owned and operated, and is NADRA-backed; state records list active HIC license 206459 and CSL license CS-117764. Homeowners consistently describe careful deck construction and repair, including composite replacements, Red Balau decking, porch and railing work, restoration, and structural reinforcement. Reviews from 2023 through 2026 repeatedly mention clear communication, detailed planning, reliable timelines, clean work areas, and finished projects that matched or improved the requested result. One 2024 reviewer specifically praised a very reasonable quote and scheduling a repair within a week; another described a deck completed in under two weeks. Before booking, confirm material availability and the timing of any specialty decking, since one reviewer noted a delay while waiting for specific material. The business has also advised a homeowner that a patio was a better choice for one project, suggesting it may decline work outside its stated offerings. Boston Hardwood Decks is a strong fit for homeowners planning a deck, porch, railing, pergola, or restoration project who want detailed coordination and visible craftsmanship. Confirm the exact material, scope, timeline, and whether related non-deck work is included in the written estimate.
Joshua and his crew were a pleasure to work with from the start with the estimate through the final finish and clean up. The deck was just as I asked with a few improvements that I hadn’t even considered. All the staff were responsible and qualified. I had a deadline for completion and it was met. I would highly recommend this company.
Joshua and Josh were meticulous at every point in the process, from planning, to building and final walkthrough. The daily progress updates with photos were greatly appreciated! Finally a builder with integrity and professionalism!!! Can’t say enough great things about this company. Thanks guys for building my mom a safe ramp off the deck - she loves it!
Joshua is an amazing guy and dedicated to his craft!
Boston Hardwood Decks did a fantastic job taking down our old deck and building a beautiful new one. Joshua is very talented, and he was great about listening to what we wanted and putting it into action. He communicated well and was flexible about our timeline. If you want a deck built right, this is definitely the company to go to. The entire experience was great.
Amazing experience with Joshua! I would certainly recommend Joshua for whatever decking needs you may have! 10/10 best company you could call regarding such work!
