Blend Decks and Hardscapes for Seamless Outdoor Living
Enjoy outdoor living in comfort and style with a custom deck from Bahler Brothers. Our team designs and builds durable, low-maintenance composite decks that perfectly blend with your patio, landscaping, and home’s architecture.
Elevated Outdoor Living
A well-designed deck serves as the perfect bridge between your home and your outdoor space. Made to be a peaceful place to unwind, a space to host guests, or an outdoor dining area, decks offer the elevation and structure needed to bring it all together. They pair perfectly with patios, walkways, and surrounding landscape features to create a cohesive layout.
At Bahler Brothers, we specialize in Composite Decking, a modern material that offers the rich look of natural wood without the hassle of ongoing maintenance. They are resistant to rot, fading, and insect damage, making them ideal for New England weather.
Patios vs. Decks—What's the Difference?
A deck can be a direct extension of your indoor living space, with a combined outdoor cooking and dining area providing both convenience and luxury.
Several design elements can be constructed to obtain an intimate, enclosed space. A pergola can provide some cover from the elements. Add low voltage lighting and outdoor heaters to expand upon the use of your space throughout the seasons.
Step down to ground level, and your stone or paver patio can provide an extended entertainment area, with a seating area and perhaps a fire feature for gathering with family and friends.
Deck Resurfacing
If your current deck is deteriorating but the underlying structure is in good shape, you may be able to give your deck a new look with some fresh decking. In this case, we use all the existing beams and footings and simply replace the rotting deck boards and railings with new material. We prefer building with composite decking to ensure your deck has an extended life with little maintenance.
Custom Features & Add-Ons
Personalize your deck with details that enhance your entire outdoor living experience. You can add things like built-in benches and planters, railings, integrated lighting, privacy walls and pergolas, and other seamless transitions to patios or pools.
Maintain the Beauty of Your Deck
Protect your deck and hardscapes with care and cleaning. Our Hardscape Cleaning & Maintenance team provides professional washing for your deck and sealing your hardscapes to extend their life and keep it looking its best year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Installations
How much does a new deck cost?
Deck pricing can vary depending on the materials, size, and complexity. As a general rule of thumb, most decks in Connecticut range from $35 to $65 per square foot. For a rough estimate, try using our Cost Calculator or reach out to us for a more personalized quote.
Is composite decking worth it?
Yes, absolutely! Composite decks require minimal maintenance, won’t rot or splinter, and retain their color for decades, making them a cost-effective long-term investment that can last 25-50 years, depending on the environmental conditions.
Can I resurface an old wood deck with composite boards?
In many cases, you can resurface an old wood deck with composite boards. If the framing and structure are still sound, we can replace only the decking surface and railings, saving you time and cost. However, we are also able to do deck repair if needed.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We handle all necessary permits with your town or city and coordinate inspections to make sure your project meets local building codes and safety requirements.

We decided in the late Spring of 2025 to add a pool in our yard. by that May we had picked the pool company and all of the elements of the pool and pool system. However, we needed quite a bit of landscaping to reshape our yard, plan and install the deck surrounding our pool, and make sure that the drainage solutions we desired were correctly implemented. We hired a landscape architect to make exact plans. In June, we began searching for the right company to handle our project needs for the landscaping and deck. our pool company recommended Bahler Brothers and Josh Bahler came up to meet us. From the first meeting we were impressed with his energy, his knowledge, his humility, and his enthusiasm for getting our project done just the way we wanted it. We signed a fixed price contract for the decking we picked with Josh's help and for a retaining wall we needed built. We could not sign a fixed price contract for the landscaping and drainage work we needed done so we agreed to have that work done on a time and materials basis. From late July through August Bahler Brothers had teams here working on our project. Each of their employees was friendly, expert in his/her tasks, eager to get things done just right and timely in their work. The end result was spectacular; beyond anything we, our family, an our friends had ever seen or imagined. After the work was complete, Josh Bahler called to make sure that everything was done right and to our satisfaction. Only when assured that we were 100% satisfied did we receive a bill. It was extremely fair and frankly for less than we had expected. Weeks later, after we had paid the bill in full, a small drainage problem popped up after a deluge caused by a heavy rainstorm. We let Josh know and he was on site within hours to suggest and make a slight tweak in the drainage plans our landscape architect had made. The problem was solved, and no further bill was received. I highly recommend Bahler Brothers. They are the epitome of excellent craftsmen whose pride in their craft is really inspiring. Fred Fierst, Florence, MA
We were thoroughly surprised at the customer service! We had a worrisome problem with staining on our 4 year old concrete paver patio. Even though Bahler Brothers hadn't installed it, they offered to send someone out to troubleshoot it. Sam and Dave came out to our home- not once but twice -to diagnose the issue and suggest remedies. AT NO CHARGE! Remarkable in these days and times.
Bahler Brothers did a really nice job replacing our front steps. Original steps were concrete and the entire structure was tilted forward. In one day Bahler removed the old steps and replaced them with granite steps. And despite using heavy equipment, there was minimal damage to the front lawn. Our neighbors used them for a major project and recommended them. Their prices were fair, and we will definitely use them for future jobs - no hesitation.
Professional from my first call to the completion of the beautiful paver walkway. Clearly experienced - top notch service and installation by their team of professionals. Bahler Brothers delivered on their promise.
