# South Shore Decks Corp **Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 551 Plain St, Marshfield, MA 02050, USA · **Phone:** (781) 878-8934 · **Website:** http://southshoredecksma.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.8/5** (medium confidence) — from 18 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 8 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read South Shore Decks is a Marshfield outfit built almost entirely on deck work — new builds, repairs, porches, and additions — and its state home improvement contractor registration (214876) is verified active through February 2027. Reggie is the name every review names as the person running the crew and talking through the design. The recent work speaks for itself. In the past few months, reviews describe a large deck build with a staircase, an outdoor kitchen and patio lighting, where Reggie is credited with design ideas and a working knowledge of permitting and engineering requirements. Another recent review describes a genuinely urgent call: a customer with a hazardous deck situation sent photos, and the crew came by the same day to secure it at a reasonable rate. A winter deck replacement — finished in about a week, watched start to finish by a work-from-home customer — even included digging up and dealing with a buried concrete slab nobody expected. The written history before that, running back through 2025, tells the same story with more detail. In an October 2025 review, a customer described a full second-level deck rebuild that also extended the structure, replaced stairs and railing, resided a section of rotted siding, and swapped in two new exterior doors. In a May 2025 review, a customer described getting a quote from owner Reggie Newcomb that came in at less than half of several competing bids, with Reggie out at the house the next day to take measurements. One thing worth flagging before calling: the company's own website says it has been building decks in Marshfield for more than 40 years, since 1986, but BBB's public record lists South Shore Decks Corp as started and incorporated in 2024 — worth asking about directly, since the two accounts of the company's history don't line up. BBB also lists the owner as Ouafae Mekrai, while every customer review names Reggie as the one running jobs. For anyone weighing a deck build, repair or porch project in the Marshfield area, the written reviews point to responsive, hands-on work — just confirm the company's actual history and structure before signing a contract. **Strengths:** - Custom deck builds — recent reviews cite strong design input and permitting know-how - Emergency response — a recent review describes same-day securing of a hazardous deck - Handles the unexpected — a winter deck replacement finished in about a week - Competitive quotes — a 2025 review cites a bid less than half of competitors **Concerns:** - History discrepancy — website claims 40+ years; BBB lists the company as incorporated in 2024 **Where sources disagree:** - The website claims the business has operated in Marshfield for more than 40 years (since 1986), while BBB records list South Shore Decks Corp as started and incorporated in 2024. - BBB lists the business owner as Ouafae Mekrai, while customer reviews consistently credit Reggie (Newcomb, per one review) as the owner running the crew. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (license 214876) is verified active through 2/14/2027, held by South Shore Decks Corp _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 214876 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: SOUTH SHORE DECKS CORP” - BBB-accredited since March 2025 with an A rating and no customer complaints or government actions on file _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/marshfield/profile/deck-builder/south-shore-decks-corp-0021-566197) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/marshfield/profile/deck-builder/south-shore-decks-corp-0021-566197) — “Listed certification: BBB Accredited Business (since 3/10/2025)” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/marshfield/profile/deck-builder/south-shore-decks-corp-0021-566197) — “BBB profile for South Shore Decks Corp. of 551 Plain St, Marshfield MA: BBB Accredited since 3/10/2025 with an A rating (reason given: lengt…” - Recent reviews describe large custom-build projects, including a deck with staircase, outdoor kitchen and patio lighting, crediting strong design input and knowledge of permitting and engineering requirements _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tSTFJGVTNjWGd6VEVWb1lsZGtjRWxWWlY5NGJsRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x4670adaa054d7874!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkRLRFU3cXgzTEVoYldkcElVZV94blE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ We had an incredibly positive experience with Reggie and the fabulous crew at South Shore Decks.
