Reviews From Salem Township Homeowners
Deck Building Services in Salem Township, PA
Custom Deck Design and Building
We design custom decks based on your home, yard, and your plans for your outdoor space. After finalizing the layout and materials, we prepare the site, build the foundation and framing, install the decking, stairs, and railings, and complete the finishing work.
Full Deck Replacement
When it is time to remodel a worn-out backyard, we tear out the old structure, fix drainage or framing issues, and build a new deck from scratch. We use high-quality deck materials chosen to thrive in western PA weather, whether you want to get a composite deck or one made from pressure-treated wood.
Pool Decks, Front Porches, and Pergolas
We build pool decks with space for safe movement, seating, and access to pool equipment. We also construct front porches that improve everyday entry and pergolas that add partial shade. Each structure is planned around your property, intended use, and preferred materials.

Do I Need a Permit for Deck Construction in Salem Township, PA
Most attached, elevated, and larger freestanding decks require approval before construction begins. The exact requirements depend on the deck’s size, height, location, and connection to the house.
The permit review may require:
- A site plan showing the deck and property lines
- Construction drawings with footing, framing, stair, and railing details
- Information about the contractor and proposed materials
- Inspections at specific stages of construction
Include permit review in the project schedule because work cannot begin until the required approval is issued. Changing the size or layout after submission may also require revised plans.
We Offer Permit Coordination
At Booher Construction, we prepare the required project documents, submit the permit application, and coordinate required inspections with the township’s code agency. This keeps the approval process connected to the construction schedule and saves you from managing each step yourself.
