Based in the heart of Southern Maine, Highland Deck Co. is Southern Maine’s premier partner for custom outdoor living. We understand that building in our region requires a specialized approach—from the historic neighborhoods of the city to the salt air environments of Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, and Old Orchard Beach. We specialize in designing and building architectural decks engineered to withstand the unique Maine elements, utilizing high-performance, low-maintenance materials like TimberTech and AZEK. Whether you are dreaming of a modern rooftop oasis in Portland or a rugged, marine-grade retreat in Pine Point, our team brings local craftsmanship and engineering precision to every square foot. We proudly serve homeowners from the Kennebunks to Freeport and across the Casco Bay region, ensuring that wherever you call home in Southern Maine, your outdoor space is built to last a lifetime.

The Highland Deck Standard

Every project we undertake, regardless of location, is built to exceed standard residential codes by addressing three Maine-specific challenges:

• Structural Integrity: We calculate for Maine’s extreme snow loads and frost heaves. Our foundations—often utilizing helical piers—ensure your deck remains perfectly level, even as the ground shifts during the spring thaw.

• Material Science: We guide you through the pros and cons of Ipe, Western Red Cedar, and Advanced PVC based on your specific micro-climate. A deck on the salt-sprayed cliffs of Cape Elizabeth requires different hardware and finishes than a wooded retreat in Windham.

• Regulatory Navigation: We act as your liaison with local building departments. From Portland’s historic preservation requirements to the strict DEP Shoreland Zoning in beachfront towns, we ensure your project is fully permitted and legally compliant.
