Pick the package before the quote.

Most deck quotes go wrong because material, railing and structure are not chosen together. We price the deck as a package: surface, frame condition, stairs, railings, permits and cleanup.

What you should know
before build day.

The standard is simple: answer the phone, diagnose the deck honestly, write a clear scope, protect the yard and leave it clean. Friendly crew, serious jobsite.

Estimate path in 24 hours

You get a reply, booking direction and the right next step: repair, rebuild, railing or onsite field check.

Permit-aware from day one

Raised decks, stairs, railings and structural work are discussed before the schedule is promised.

Jobsite discipline

Trash staged, screws picked up, walkways clear and progress documented before the crew leaves.

Quote you can compare

Surface, frame, stairs, railings, permits and cleanup are separated so the price is not a black box.

Don't take
our word for it.

We hired them to build a custom deck off our back patio and couldn't be happier. The crew showed up on time every day, kept the work area clean, and the craftsmanship is excellent — everything is solid and level. They walked us through the material options and the composite decking looks fantastic. Honest pricing, no surprises. Highly recommend.

Great experience from start to finish. Professional, responsive, and they finished right on schedule. Our new deck completely transformed the backyard. Quality work at a fair price — would absolutely use them again.

I wasn't totally sure what I wanted, and they helped me design a layout that fit the space perfectly. The build quality is top notch and they handled the permit process so I didn't have to worry about anything. Neighbors keep asking who did it. Thank you for the beautiful deck!

Asked all
the time.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in New Jersey or Staten Island?

Almost always yes — both NJ townships and NYC DOB require permits for new decks and structural repairs. We prepare drawings and pull the permit for you; it is included in every quote.

How much does a new deck cost in 2026?

Honest ranges: pressure-treated wood from about $40–55 per sq ft, composite (Trex / TimberTech) from about $60–85 per sq ft installed, depending on height, railings and site access. You get an exact fixed quote before we order a single board.

Trex vs TimberTech vs wood — what should I pick?

Composite costs more upfront but skips staining forever; we install both Trex and TimberTech. Wood is cheaper and still right for some budgets and looks. We show you samples at the estimate and price both ways.

How long does a deck build take?

Most decks: 1–3 weeks on site after permits. Repairs: often 2–5 days. You get a written schedule with the quote, and we actually keep it.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes — workmanship warranty on every build plus the manufacturer warranty on materials (up to 50 years on composite boards). Details in writing with your contract.

Can you build in winter?

Yes. Frost-depth footings are standard for NJ; cold-weather builds are often faster to schedule and your deck is ready for the first warm weekend.
