Archadeck of Suburban Boston

Archadeck of Suburban Boston builds outdoor living structures — decks, screened and three-season porches, patios, sunrooms, pergolas and hardscapes — from 16 Adams St in Burlington. The Massachusetts Construction Supervisor licence CS-056609 is verified active against the state registry, held by owner Michael A Chaisson, and the Better Business Bureau both accredits the company and grades it A+. Ratings are strong and current: 4.7 from 89 Google ratings and 4.9 from 41 on Houzz, with eight reviews in the last six months and none of them negative. The praise is unusually specific about the front half of the job. Clients name their designers — Krisoula, Larry — and describe 3D renderings that matched the finished deck, options walked through in detail, and designs shaped around odd constraints. A June 2026 client's three-season porch on a 100-year-old house came in on time and on budget with no surprises. A February 2026 client building a large back deck got daily emails naming who would be on site and for what, work continued through a New England November, and the crew left the site tidy. A January 2025 client reported the company handling permitting, and a January 2025 reviewer credited them with navigating a lengthy local Conservation Commission process. They take on complicated work. A March 2024 client had a porch rebuilt on an 1855 house where the structure was pulling away and the roof and floorboards were unsafe, with supports routed around water and sewer lines. A February 2024 project replaced pressure-treated decking with TimberTech and enclosed an open porch as a three-season room. An August 2023 reviewer had a mahogany deck Archadeck built eleven years earlier repaired in an afternoon at what they called a reasonable price, and several clients are on their second project. Three things to weigh. Price: a May 2025 reviewer put it plainly — the pricing is not on the lower end, but said you get what you pay for. Subcontracting: a January 2025 client explained that carpentry, electrical, landscaping, tile and footings were all subcontracted, that they had to source a surveyor, a fireplace vendor and painters themselves, and suggested electrical planning should start earlier in design rather than waiting for rough carpentry. Schedule and durability: a September 2021 reviewer gave two stars over a job that ran three months late with communication they had asked for up front and did not get, and an April 2024 reviewer rating three stars said that on a pre-pandemic deck the decorative baluster pieces and the trim wrapping at the base of the posts had begun falling apart, and wished the composite decking had been picture-framed. They are a strong fit for a homeowner who wants a designed, permitted outdoor structure and values a documented process over the lowest bid. Ask specifically which trades are subcontracted, when electrical gets planned, and what the warranty covers on decorative trim.
