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.

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.

Sam and his team repaired and extended our patio. Blending old pavers with new pavers was tedious, but they were patient, flexible, diligent, and professional. They definitely earned our trust and appreciation.
