Eighteen Google reviews, all five stars, and every one of them written since May 2025 — that is the whole public record on South Shore Decks Corp, a deck builder working out of 551 Plain Street in Marshfield. Homeowners hire it for new decks, deck repairs, screened porches, three-season rooms, railings, patios and pergolas across Plymouth and Norfolk counties, the service area the company lists for itself.
Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 214876, checks out as active against the state registry and is held in the company's own name. The Better Business Bureau has accredited the business since March 2025 and grades it A, listing the same registration with a February 2027 expiry, three employees, and no complaints or government actions on file.
What reviewers keep returning to is Reggie, the person they deal with. A homeowner writing this summer described a hazardous deck that needed immediate attention: he asked for photos, saw the problem, and the crew came out right away and secured the whole deck "in no time and at a reasonable rate". In July a customer whose second-story footings and posts had settled said he fixed the structural problem, relocated the stairs for easier patio access, and recommended ways to prevent it recurring. Another, writing in April, watched a full deck replacement finish "in the dead of winter in a hair over one week".
Design help comes up as often as the carpentry. Reviewers credit him with the permitting and engineering side of a large elevated deck with outdoor kitchen and lighting, with walking a couple through options for a deck cover that ended as a solid roof with a fan, recessed heaters and lights, and — in an October 2025 review — with rebuilding a small second-level deck plus stairs and railing, replacing rotted back siding and hanging two exterior doors. Clearing the yard and driveway at the end of each day gets specific mention.
Before booking, one thing is worth asking about directly. The company's website says it was established in 1986 and has been building decks in Marshfield for more than forty years, while its BBB profile records the business as started 13 June 2024, incorporated 12 July 2024, and two years in business; the customer record starts in May 2025 and matches the shorter timeline. Both can be true if a longtime builder incorporated recently — but ask whose forty years those are. Ownership is recorded differently too: BBB names Ouafae Mekrai as owner, while reviewers deal with, and one May 2025 reviewer names, "the owner, Reggie Newcomb".
For a straightforward deck build, rebuild or structural repair on the South Shore, the licence is real, the reviews are recent, detailed and consistent, and the work described sits squarely in that lane. Ask for the corporate history and for references on a job comparable to yours.
