Why Choose Deck It Now for Your Pool Deck Installation
- Builders Who Specialize in Pool Environments: Not all contractors are equipped to meet the demands of poolside construction. As a deck builder in Central Massachusetts, we apply region-specific building standards and moisture-smart techniques to every pool deck we install
- In-House Teams from Start to Finish: Your project isn’t handed off to third parties. From permitting and planning to design and build, our in-house project managers, coordinators, and installers handle every detail so your pool deck gets built right—and on time.
- Solutions Beyond the Surface: Pool decks are just the beginning. We design outdoor spaces that include shade structures, integrated drainage, built-in seating, fire features, and privacy screens—all customized to how you want to use the space.
- Experience That Shows in the Details: With over 40 years of combined experience and over 500 decks completed, we’ve refined the small details that make a big difference—like the correct slope for drainage, waterproof framing connections, and hidden fasteners that hold up in wet areas.
- Code-Compliant, Permit-Ready Construction: We know local codes and submit all permit paperwork in-house. When required, we also coordinate with HOAs so your deck is approved and ready to build without delays or back and forth.
Pool Deck Design Ideas: Materials & Seasonal Considerations

Deck Features to Complete Your Poolside
- Pool-Safe Deck Lighting: We install low-voltage, wet-rated LED lighting that resists corrosion and moisture intrusion. Options include recessed stair lights, under-rail strips, and post-cap fixtures with sealed housings, all wired discreetly through the deck framing.
- Durable, Code-Compliant Deck Railings: Choose from powder-coated aluminum, composite, or frameless glass systems engineered for poolside durability and safety. All railings are installed with corrosion-resistant brackets and meet Massachusetts pool enclosure codes for height and spacing.
- DrySpace Underdeck Drainage: For raised decks, we install Trex DrySpace, a vinyl channel-and-trough system that diverts water from framing. It keeps the area below your deck dry—ideal for storage, mechanical access, or shaded seating areas.
- Built-In Fire Features: Gas firepits and fireplaces are framed with steel studs and fire-rated board, then plumbed with concealed gas lines. Each installation has electronic ignition or remote start options for safe clearances and long-term performance.
Outdoor Living Structures to Complement Your Pool Deck
- Engineered Pergolas: Built from low-maintenance composite or aluminum, our pergolas are anchored with concrete footings and properly flashed for water protection. Choose fixed rafters or motorized louvers to control sunlight and rainfall.
- Custom Gazebos: We construct gazebos with pressure-treated framing or steel and finish them with durable roofing like PVC or shingles. Add privacy panels, integrated lighting, or fan wiring to turn it into a functional poolside room.
- Screen Rooms and Enclosed Porches: Aluminum-framed screen rooms keep bugs out with fine mesh that blocks even no-see-ums. Optional storm panels, ceiling fans, and outlets make these spaces usable across multiple seasons.
