Farmington, CT's Deck Building Company
Unionville sits along the Farmington River as a village of its own, a few minutes from Farmington's historic center. Lots near the river drain differently from the higher ground in town, so we check which one you're on before a deck is planned. Around the older center the houses are more established, while newer construction is more common out toward Unionville and the edges of town. Sustainable Decks works across Farmington from our Middletown office, and a porch, patio or new siding can be part of the same job.

The practical side of building here
Site conditions
Farmington River-adjacent lots near Unionville deal with different drainage and flood-plain considerations than the higher-ground sections of town. We check which applies at the site visit.
Access
Route 4 and I-84 interchanges can back up at commuter hours. We schedule deliveries around it.
Permits
Connecticut's permit thresholds are set separately from Massachusetts'. We confirm the current requirement for your specific Farmington address rather than assuming a Massachusetts number applies.
Permitting authority: Farmington Building Department
What the river side of Farmington changes
Flood-plain status near the Farmington River in Unionville isn't always obvious from the street, some lots that look like standard buildable ground sit inside a mapped flood zone that changes footing requirements. We confirm status before the quote locks in a plan.

Farmington FAQ
A standard single-level deck usually runs one to two weeks once material arrives, weather and permit timing aside. Porches, patios, and multi-level decks run longer. You get a real schedule in the proposal, not a range.
Pressure-treated wood costs less up front and needs restaining every two to three years. Composite costs more up front and needs only occasional washing. Which one makes sense depends on how long you plan to stay in the house and how much upkeep you actually want to do.
