Who We Are

Who's Doing the Work

We build and repair decks for homeowners in Elizabeth and the towns around it. Most people find us because a board's gone soft, a railing's started to wobble, or they're tired of a deck that's just a slab of pressure-treated wood nobody wants to sit on. Some come to us before any of that happens, wanting a deck added onto a house that doesn't have one yet. Either way, you're trusting us with the part of your house that takes the worst of the weather.

We check the ledger board first, since that's where most deck failures start, at the point where the deck bolts into the house. If the flashing's missing or rusted through, water's been getting behind it for years and the wood underneath is probably softer than it looks. We use structural screws and joist tape on any new framing, not just nails, and we set footings below the frost line so the deck doesn't heave every winter. That's the difference between a deck that gets rebuilt in eight years and one that doesn't.

Had them redo the stain on our deck over in Elizabeth, boards look even, no lap marks like when I tried it myself two summers ago.

One joist was rotted out under the back corner, they caught it before it gave way. Took an extra day because of rain but they called ahead about it.

New deck off the kitchen out in Linden, they got the footings in before the ground froze. Railing feels solid, doesn't wobble when the kids lean on it.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people usually ask before calling a deck builder.

Do you offer free estimates for deck projects?
A free written estimate is given after a visit to the property to measure the space and check ground conditions where the deck will sit. This includes a breakdown of material and labor costs before any work is scheduled.
Are you licensed and insured?
Licensing and insurance for deck construction and carpentry work in New Jersey is standard, with certificates available if a township or an insurer requests one. This protects the homeowner if damage occurs during construction.
How soon can you start my deck project?
Start dates depend on the season, since spring and early summer book up fastest for new deck construction. Fall and winter often have more open scheduling, though footing work slows once the ground starts to freeze.
What areas do you cover for deck work?
Deck construction and repair work is done throughout Elizabeth, NJ and surrounding Union County towns, generally within about 50 miles. Calling ahead confirms coverage for a specific town farther out.
Do you build decks on any type of property, or just single-family homes?
Decks get built for single-family homes, townhouses, and small multi-family properties, though condo and HOA properties may require their own approval process before work starts. Rental properties are common too, usually for repair work rather than new construction.
Will you take on a small job like fixing a few deck boards?
Small repairs like replacing a few deck boards or tightening a loose railing get scheduled the same as larger projects. No deck job is considered too small to look at.
How do I get started with a deck project?
Calling or filling out a contact form with a rough idea of the project, whether it's a new deck, a repair, or a staining job, starts the process. A visit gets scheduled to measure the space and give a written quote.
What does a new deck typically cost?
Cost depends mostly on square footage, decking material, and railing type, with composite decking running higher upfront than pressure-treated lumber. A simple single-level deck costs less than one with multiple levels, built-in stairs, or a screened section.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
A deposit is standard before materials get ordered, with the balance due on completion. The exact split gets spelled out in the written quote before any work starts.
What happens if it rains during my deck build?
Framing and decking work can pause for a day or two of rain without much issue, though pouring concrete footings requires dry ground and staining requires a dry forecast for at least 24 hours. Schedules build in buffer days for exactly this kind of delay.
