When we bought our house, the deck seemed fine—until last winter’s storms left one corner sagging. Turns out, the previous owners had cut corners on the footings. Oops.
After some panicked Googling, I found South Shore Decks’ About Us page, which reassured me that yes, this is exactly the kind of thing professionals know how to fix.
Why Foundations Matter
Marshfield’s soil can be tricky—sandy in some spots, clay-heavy in others. A deck that’s not properly supported will shift, crack, or worse. South Shore Decks mentions their experience with local conditions, which made me feel better about hiring someone who knows the area.
Lessons Learned
Frost depth matters (who knew?).
Not all concrete is created equal.
Permits are a thing (and skipping them is a bad idea).
