That one can still purchase from them the replacement parts and upgrade materials, obtain accurate blueprints for houses built over 40 years ago and converse with people who have absorbed and can relate the experiences and technological developments that have effected these houses makes for a situation unique in the housing industry. > In this sense the extraordinary legacy of the Deck House continues to grow. Deck house owners today can expect knowledgeable advice rooted in decades of experience as regards upgrading the energy performance of the older deck houses. They can purchase replacement beams, flooring and exposed cedar ceiling materials that will match and fit houses built in the 1960's and 1970's. They can purchase stylistically consistent components to add on to these houses. They can be referred to builders experienced and knowledgeable as regards the style and construction method. > That the original mission of Deck has been expanded to a broader range of style and to create the Next House system bodes well for today's home buyers and builders. > > As a custom home builder who also offers kit house options and works on the restoration of classic mid-century and modern homes. My relationship with Deck House has been essential. ## Selected projects - [Seaside Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaside-modern-pj-vj~6728256) - Location: Wellfleet, MA - Photos: 23 - Description: Nestled amongst the sandy dunes of Cape Cod, Seaside Modern is a custom home that proudly showcases a modern beach house style.
