Building decks in Massapequa
Massapequa has one of the highest rates of owner-occupied detached homes anywhere on Long Island, and a large share of the south end sits on canals with private bulkheads and boat slips. Waterfront work here means salt-rated hardware, attention to the flood elevation, and a layout that keeps the water view open — usually cable rail or black aluminum picket rather than a solid balustrade that would wall it off.
