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.

I had them design and build a place for my swim spa. From start to finish, each phase of the project was amazing. Jen in design went to great detail to ensure I knew every detail. The team of guys that came out to build my space was amazing and they all took the time to explain each step of what was being built. I now have a beautiful outdoor space that I can enjoy and everyone that sees the work are blown away. Thank you Josh and team for all you did.
The team at Bahler Brothers did an absolutely amazing job on our water feature. They are true professionals in every sense of the word. They are extremely prompt, friendly and talented, from initial phone contact until completion, their #1 concern is a happy client .We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of landscaping, water features or hard scapes.
The service we received was outstanding--fast, professional, and effective. We needed oak tannin stains removed from our patio after a tree fell on our house. A crew was at our house within a day and was able to clean the pavers with less work than was originally quoted. Not only was the patio restored beautifully, but we also received excellent information about how to care for our patio to prevent problems in the future. The price was adjusted as well to reflect the fact that a simpler approach was sufficient to get the job done. We are happy with the entire experience and would recommend this company to anyone who needs restoration work on their patio.
From start to finish, every step of the process to replace our front steps was executed flawlessly by Bahler Brothers. Initially George helped guide us to the perfect design and materials. When the time came to begin the project we were informed when each step would take place- and they were always at our house when they said they’d be. Lloyd was careful to place mats in our driveway to protect it as he excavated the area. As soon as that portion was done Junior, Andrew, and Angel began work on the steps and walkway. I was so impressed with how detailed and meticulous they were. Each step, each paver was placed exactly where it should be. They made double and triple sure of it! When Byron and Ryan in the landscaping division came to put our plantings back they were careful to do it exactly as it was before - even adding new stone so the plantings were completely covered as before. Josh called to make sure we were happy - which we were! George also came one last time to make sure the job was done to our satisfaction. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend Bahler Brothers to anyone who needed a project done and done right! We are now waiting for the railing vendor to install the railing. Once that is done our step project will be complete.
