Professional Deck Builder Serving Connecticut & Southwestern Massachusetts
To Do List Decks provides professional deck construction, repair, and upgrades for homeowners throughout Connecticut and select areas of southwestern Massachusetts. Because New England weather can be demanding, our team designs and builds decks that are made to last.
In addition, we understand the challenges created by freeze-thaw cycles, moisture exposure, and seasonal temperature swings. As a result, every deck we build or repair is planned with durability, safety, and long-term performance in mind.
Custom Deck Work
Whether you need custom deck construction, structural repairs, or material upgrades, we tailor our work to the specific needs of each home and location we serve.
Deck Services We Provide Across Our Service Area
In general, our services are designed to support homeowners at every stage of deck ownership. From new construction to repairs and upgrades, we focus on practical solutions that perform well in New England’s climate.
- Custom deck construction
- Deck repairs and structural upgrades
- Composite and wood decking
- Railing, stair, and safety improvements
- Seasonal maintenance and inspections
While we primarily serve Central, Eastern, and Northern Connecticut, we also work with homeowners in nearby Massachusetts communities west of the Connecticut–Rhode Island–Massachusetts border.
Central & North-Central Connecticut
We regularly serve homeowners in communities such as Ellington, Vernon, Somers, Stafford, Enfield, and surrounding towns. Because this region experiences wide seasonal temperature swings, proper deck construction and ongoing maintenance are especially important.
For that reason, we focus on framing, fastening, and materials that perform reliably year after year.
Eastern Connecticut
From quiet rural properties to established neighborhoods, we build and repair decks throughout Eastern Connecticut. In this area, moisture control and winter durability play a major role in long-term deck performance.
As a result, our approach emphasizes proper drainage, ventilation, and material selection.
Shoreline & Greater Hartford Areas (Excluding Fairfield County)
We serve many Connecticut shoreline and Hartford-area communities. However, we generally do not service Fairfield County due to travel distance and scheduling considerations.
By focusing on our core service areas, we are able to maintain consistent quality, communication, and project timelines.
Massachusetts Service Coverage
Serving Southwestern Massachusetts
In addition to Connecticut, To Do List Decks serves select communities in southwestern Massachusetts located west of the Connecticut–Rhode Island–Massachusetts border. Because these areas share similar climate conditions, we are able to deliver the same level of craftsmanship and reliability.
When needed, we also account for regional code differences to ensure compliant construction.
Why Service Area Knowledge Matters
- Freeze-thaw cycles: As temperatures rise and fall, decks must be built to handle seasonal movement without shifting or cracking.
- Snow load: During winter months, decks must safely support accumulated snow and ice.
- Moisture management: Because moisture leads to rot and decay, proper drainage and ventilation are essential.
- Local building practices: In many cases, construction methods vary by region and municipality.
- Material selection: Therefore, choosing between wood and composite decking depends on exposure, maintenance goals, and long-term use.
