If what you need is a deck, this is a short list of one. Derek Construction is a Lynn outfit whose own site calls it a deck builder, and 21 reviews since 2022 bear that out almost without exception — decks rebuilt, decks extended, stairs, landings, railings and the occasional rooftop. The jobs get described in detail. In September 2025 a customer had a 10-by-32-foot deck taken down and rebuilt in Trex, with gutters installed front and back on the same visit. In June 2025 another had a rooftop deck and its adjoining stairs rebuilt, including a new rubber roof underneath. A July 2025 homeowner had front stairs and a landing built with metal railings, and said the crew worked through extreme heat and still finished in two days. Back in November 2022, a wood deck was replaced and extended in composite over about two weeks. What repeats across the years is speed without mess, and estimates people found straightforward. A December 2024 reviewer said the job started on time, finished on time, and the estimate came with no gimmicks. A November 2023 customer with awkward deck railings said the crew found a cost-effective fix rather than an expensive one. A June 2026 homeowner who came looking after discovering their deck and stairs were holding on by a thread emailed on a Saturday and got a response. Two reviewers name Herculano rather than Derek, so expect that to be who you deal with. The thing to sort out is the registration. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 195607, is expired in the state registry. Deck building is not one of the trades Massachusetts exempts from registering, so ask whether it has been renewed and get the current number before any deposit changes hands. Worth knowing too that all 27 ratings sit on Google — it is a single-platform picture, however consistent. For a deck, a porch, a run of exterior stairs or gutters, this is a focused crew with a current record and specific finished work people can point to. Settle the registration question, then get the scope in writing.
I have a two family, with side stairs and deck. The first floor deck was a bit wobbly. I removed one of the steps and noticed that the deck and stairs were holding on by a thread. Did some research and came across Derek Construction Inc. I sent an email On a Saturday.I got a reply back within 15 minutes, asking for my address and phone number and he was at my house within a half hour of me sending the email. Derek looked at the stairs in deck and noticed that this needed to be done ASAP (which we agreed, I wish I took a before picture. It was bad) He gave us a quote and he was at the house that Monday morning and was able to structurally stabilize the porch and replace the wood with all the PVC decking. As he was working on the porch, he also noticed that the Cement footing was also falling apart and was able to replace the cement footing to make sure the deck and stairs were structurally stabilized.<br><br>I would highly recommend Derek. He was very communicative and honest about the work That needed to be done. They were able to complete the job in one day. I will be calling him to repair the second floor stairs and deck That way, both units will match.
Derek Construction renewed our existing deck and added a staircase to our above ground pool. They did a great job and paid attention to the small details. Communication was great and price was reasonable. Highly recommend!
Excellent work and professional service! I definitely recommend Derek Construction Company to anyone who wants to get their work done correctly and nicely!! Thank you All!!!
Derek and his team did very good job building a new deck for us. Derek is an excellent handyman, and his work is always in high quality. He is also easy to talk to and always understand standard our concerns and meet our needs. So we strongly recommend him and his team if you need any house related construction work.
Derek Construction communication from beginning to end was great. We had 10x32’ deck taken down and rebuilt with trex decking. The workmanship shown was above and beyond what we expected. We also had gutters installed in front and back of house and all this was done by Derek and his workers. Everything is hands on and always done with high standards. Any problem that we encountered they fix and communicated directly to us. We would highly recommend them. They are honest, hardworking, and fair!
