Homeowners tell us, "We should have done this years ago."
Fresh air. Morning coffee. First day of school photos. Neighbors waving as they go by. A great Deck or Porch does more than look good and doesn’t just add square footage; it adds moments that change the way you live. Decks & Porches by Polli, a division of Polli Construction, Inc., designs and builds front porches, covered entries, wraparounds, outdoor living spaces, and more that look beautiful and last.
The welcome your home deserves
We get it. You want a Deck or Porch that looks amazing, feels solid underfoot, and stays that way. We build decks that do all three, and we make the process simple. From first conversation to final walk‑through, you’ll know exactly what’s happening, when it’s happening, and why.
Spots fill quickly, materials go on backorder, and warm weekends don’t wait. Schedule a no-pressure consult now so your first morning coffee on the new deck isn’t “someday”, it’s soon. Contact us online, or call 802-482-5777 to get started.

Deck or Porch repair & replacement
If your current deck or porch is bouncy, peeling, or taking on water, it’s telling you something. We’ll assess the structure, show you what’s worth saving, and give you straight options: repair, resurface, or rebuild. Either way, you’ll end up with safe, sturdy, and beautiful.
Types of Porch & Decking Polli builds
Composite & PVC Decks
Modern, low‑maintenance boards with excellent fade and stain resistance. Hidden fasteners, crisp lines, and color‑matched trims for a polished look.
Natural Wood Decks
Cedar or pressure‑treated options with timeless warmth. We advise on sealing schedules and smart details that extend life and beauty.
Deck Rebuilds & Resurfaces
If the frame is still sound, we can replace the surface boards, rails, and stairs for a fresh look without a full tear‑down. We’ll evaluate and tell you honestly what’s best.
Multi‑Level & Specialty Decks
Dining up top, lounge below, a nook for the hot tub, or a wraparound that follows your yard’s shape—we love creative layouts that make every square foot count.
Railings, Lighting & Details
Cable or aluminum railings, integrated step lights, drink rails, privacy screens, built‑in benches/planters—dial in the comfort and the vibe.
Under‑Deck Dry Space
Turn the area below into useful, dry storage or a hangout zone with drainage systems and clean skirting solutions.

Why a deck or porch? (and why now)
More living space, without the cost of an addition.
A deck or porch gives you usable square footage, fresh air, and a place to gather.
Curb appeal that pays you back.
First impressions matter. A well‑designed deck or porch can boost buyer interest and perceived value.
Comfort in real weather.
Shade in August, shelter in April showers, safer winter footing with a covered entry.
Connection.
Porches invite conversation—with family, friends, and friendly neighbors.
More days to enjoy.
The sooner you start, the more sunsets, barbecues, and quiet mornings you get back this year.
Don’t wait:
- Permits and approvals take time. Starting now means enjoying it sooner.
- Prime build calendars fill quickly. Secure your spot before schedules stack up.
- Small issues grow. Rot and water around an unprotected entry won’t fix themselves.
- Materials and lead times fluctuate. Lock in a plan and a timeline you can count on.
FAQ's
How much does a porch cost?
It depends on size, roof structure, screening, and materials. After a quick site visit, we’ll give you a detailed, fixed‑price proposal so there are no surprises.
How long does it take?
Timelines vary by scope and permitting. We’ll map out a schedule you can plan around before we start—and keep you updated daily once we’re underway.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We prepare the drawings, submit the paperwork, meet inspectors, and close out permits.
Composite or wood—what should I pick?
Composites and PVC are low‑maintenance and stay sharp for years. Wood offers natural warmth and can be refinished. We’ll help you choose based on look, budget, and upkeep preferences.
Can you tie a new porch into my existing roof or siding?
Absolutely. We integrate flashing and trim details to protect against leaks and make the new work look original to your home.
What about snow loads, wind, or coastal conditions?
We size framing, connections, and footings to meet local code and site conditions—built for where you live.
Is there a warranty?
We stand behind our craftsmanship. You’ll receive written warranty details with your proposal.
