Decks built for the Jersey outdoors.
From ground-level platforms to multi-level entertaining decks, designed around your yard and built to last through Jersey seasons.
Decks built the way you’ll use them.
Most of the decks we build in Central New Jersey are one of two jobs: a first deck on a house that never had one, or a rebuild replacing a tired pressure-treated deck from the nineties.
Both start the same way — with how you actually plan to use the space. A deck for two chairs and a coffee is a different structure from one that has to hold a table for ten and a grill.
We build across five counties, and the housing stock changes as you move through them — older colonials in Union, newer construction in Middlesex, shore properties in Monmouth and Ocean where salt air and wind decide the material.
- Ground-level and raised platform decks
- Low-maintenance composite rebuilds and replacements
- Covered decks and deck-and-pergola combinations
- Multi-level and split-level entertaining decks
- Built-in seating, planters, and privacy screens
- Custom railings and integrated lighting
A real builder, not a kit installer.
Engineered to last
Proper framing, frost-depth footings, and code-compliant railings — built for the Jersey climate, not just for install day.
Composite or wood
Premium composite, cedar, and hardwood — we spec for your yard, your exposure, and your budget.
More than a platform
Outdoor kitchens, lighting, built-in seating, and deck-and-pergola combinations.
What actually moves the price.
We don’t publish a per-square-foot number for decks, because the framing underneath moves the price more than the boards on top. Two 400-square-foot decks on the same street can land thousands apart.
Height off the ground
A deck 18 inches off grade needs short posts and simple footings. A second-storey deck off a kitchen door needs frost-depth footings, engineered beams and a stair run — structural work before a single board goes down.
Decking material
Pressure-treated pine is the budget option. Capped composite and premium hardwood cost several times more per board, and last correspondingly longer with far less upkeep.
Railing
Code requires railing above 30 inches, and it’s the most visible part of the finished deck. Basic pressure-treated railing and a cable or aluminium system are not the same number.
What’s built in
Bench seating, planters, privacy screens, integrated lighting, an outdoor kitchen, or a pergola over part of the deck — each one adds real scope.
A few decks we’ve built.
Four stages, and you know where you are in all of them.
A deck looks simple from the outside, and the build itself usually is. What catches people out is the permit stage — so we tell you up front where the wait sits rather than letting it look like we’ve gone quiet.
Site visit & design
Adam measures the space, checks grade, door heights and setbacks, and talks through how you want to use the deck. You get a layout and a written quote.
Permit & plans
A deck is permitted work in New Jersey. We prepare the drawings and file with your town. Review times vary — this is the least predictable part of the schedule.
Build
Footings, then framing, then decking and railing. Most residential decks are a matter of weeks on site once materials are in hand.
Inspection & handover
The town inspects footings and final construction. We walk the finished deck with you before the job closes out.
Throughout all four stages you deal with Adam directly. There is no project coordinator relaying messages, and the person who quoted the job is the person on site.
Composite, cedar, or hardwood.
There’s no single right answer — it depends on how much maintenance you’re willing to do, how much sun the deck takes, and what the house is made of.
Capped composite
Wash it and you’re done — no sanding, no annual stain. Colour-matched pergola and railing systems let the whole structure read as one piece.
Lowest maintenance
Western red cedar
Naturally rot-resistant with genuinely beautiful grain, and the right call on older homes where composite would look wrong. Wants re-sealing to hold its colour.
Best on period homes
Tropical hardwood
Extremely dense and durable, priced accordingly. Suited to a deck you want to last decades and are willing to oil.

Deck questions we get asked.
How much does a deck cost in NJ?
Deck pricing depends on size, material, height off the ground, railing type and features. Framing and footings often move the number more than the decking itself, which is why we quote after a free on-site visit rather than publishing a per-square-foot figure.
Composite or wood?
Capped composite is low-maintenance and long-lasting; cedar and hardwood give you natural grain but want re-sealing to hold their colour. We walk you through the trade-offs against your exposure, your house and your budget.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. A deck is permitted work in New Jersey, and we prepare the construction drawings and file with your municipality as part of the job. We also handle the footing and final inspections.
How long does a deck take to build?
The build itself is usually a matter of weeks on site once materials are in hand, depending on size and complexity. The less predictable part is permit review, which varies considerably between municipalities. We will tell you what your town is currently running when we quote.
Can you rebuild on my existing deck frame?
Sometimes. If the framing, footings and ledger are sound and were built to carry what you want to put on them, re-decking over the existing structure saves real money. If the frame is undersized, rotted, or was never permitted, a full rebuild is the honest answer. We will tell you which one you have after we look at it.
Can a deck be built over a concrete patio?
Yes, and it is a common request. A deck can be framed over an existing slab, either on sleepers or on new footings alongside it. The things that decide the approach are drainage and what height the finished deck ends up at relative to your door.
How long will a composite deck last?
Capped composite from the major manufacturers carries a long manufacturer warranty and needs no sanding or annual staining — washing is essentially the maintenance. Cedar and hardwood last well too, but only if they are re-sealed; left alone they will weather and silver.
Do you offer financing?
