Braintree & the South Shore's Trusted Deck Builder
Custom deck building for homes across Braintree and the South Shore, plus porches, patios, and siding, priced for real backyards, not showroom budgets.
Deck building, plus the rest of your outdoor space
Decks are most of what we do, every day. We also build porches, patios, and siding, tell us what you have in mind and we'll price it as one job.
Decks
Composite, PVC and wood decks, from single-level platforms to multi-level builds, framed to last through New England winters. We build them across the South Shore and Connecticut.
Porches
Covered, screened-in, farmers and wraparound porches, framed and roofed to match the pitch and trim of the house they're attached to. We build them across the South Shore and Connecticut.
Patios
Paver, natural stone and poured concrete patios, walkways and driveways, built on a compacted gravel base so they stay level through New England winters. We build them across the South Shore and Connecticut.
Siding
Vinyl, fiber cement and cedar siding, from a full re-side to one damaged wall, with the wrap and flashing behind it checked before anything new goes on. We work across the South Shore and Connecticut.
Run by a licensed GC, not a call center
Sustainable Decks is owned and operated by Ted Labonte, president & licensed general contractor. Ted started his career in construction with siding and deck building, then moved into framing and project management before founding Sustainable Decks. That's who is actually accountable for your permit, your schedule, and your final walkthrough.
- Trex and Fiberon composite decking is manufactured from a high percentage of recycled plastic and reclaimed wood fiber, a smaller footprint than freshly milled lumber, before it even gets to never needing staining.
- Licensed and insured (CS-115640), and registered as MA HIC #220779, which is what gives you access to the state Guaranty Fund.
- One crew, start to finish, we don't sub the job out to whoever's free that week.
- Financing options available for larger projects, so scope isn't limited to what fits in savings this month.

Excellent experience from start to finish! The team was professional, on time, and did an amazing job building our deck. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and everything turned out even better than we expected. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and great customer service!
We recently had our deck rebuilt and couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and paid attention to every detail from start to finish. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and the finished deck looks absolutely amazing. They kept the work area clean, communicated clearly throughout the project, and completed everything on time. I highly recommend this decking company to anyone looking for top-quality work and excellent customer service. Five stars all the way!
Amazing work. Ben's been great to work with on our new deck and it turned out better than my wife and I hoped. We can't wait to move into our new space and start enjoying a bug free outdoor space! If you're thinking about building a screened in porch these guys are great!
We had Sustainable Decks replace our old dilapidated deck and add an extension so it encompassed the entire back of our house. We could not be more IMPRESSED with their work. Ben was hands on from the initial estimate to the completion and walk through. Nick and Chucky were the guys that did all the work and it looks amazing. Also we thought their pricing was incredible. We had several estimates and they came through with the best price and the craftsmanship is awesome. I will be including before and after photos. If you want to get a deck replacement or add a new one THESE ARE THE GUYS TO CALL. Thanks Ben and crew for taking such good care of us and our property. They finished in the time frame promised and their attention to detail is awesome. We will definitely be using them to put a farmers porch on the front of our house next year. You will not be disappointed when you have these guys do work for you.
We had a new composite deck installed with Nick and Chuck doing the work. They worked in the worst heat EVER. Showed up everyday early and did a great job. They even came back on a Saturday to help with some additional questions. Love the lighting at night. They always wanted to make sure we were happy with everything. I'm hoping they can help me with my light post. 🙏 Thank you for our beautiful deck.

In most towns we work in, yes, a structure attached to the house or built more than 30 inches off grade needs a permit and inspection. We confirm the exact threshold for your address before we quote the job.
A standard single-level deck usually runs one to two weeks once material arrives, weather and permit timing aside. Porches, patios, and multi-level decks run longer. You get a real schedule in the proposal, not a range.
Pressure-treated wood costs less up front and needs restaining every two to three years. Composite costs more at install and after that you're mostly just washing it. Over 15 years the math usually favors composite, we'll run the real numbers for your project.
Yes. We offer financing options for larger projects, so the scope of the job isn't limited to whatever fits in savings this month.
We haul away the old material as part of the job. If lumber is still solid, we'll often set it aside for reuse or firewood rather than dumpstering it automatically.
