Expand. Upgrade. Reuse What’s Solid.

Deck Extensions & Re-Decking in New Jersey

A Cost-Saving Way to Improve Your Outdoor Space

When to Choose Extension or Re-Decking

If your framing is still solid, there’s no need to start over. We’ll inspect your existing deck and let you know if it qualifies for a safe extension or re-deck. Add a dining zone, wrap-around platform, or new stairs. Or, replace surface boards and railings with something modern. Re-decking is ideal for aging wood, while extensions give you more function for less money than a full rebuild.

Make the Most of What You Already Have

What’s Included in Our Extension & Re-Decking Service

Whether you’re upgrading materials or expanding your footprint, we’ll assess your current deck and customize a plan that adds space, safety, and style. Our process includes full frame inspections, new board installation, and optional upgrades like lighting or stairs.

  • Full assessment of existing deck frame

  • New surface boards, rails, and stair systems

  • Optional extensions built to match seamlessly

Re-Decking with Low-Maintenance Materials

Upgrade to Composite Without Rebuilding

If your structure is sound, we can replace old wood boards with composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon. These materials resist rot, fading, and splinters—while giving your deck a fresh, modern look. We install over your current frame (after inspection and reinforcement if needed) for a high-impact upgrade without the cost of a full tear-out.

Seamless Additions, Engineered Right

Build Onto Your Deck Without Starting Over

We can add platforms, steps, or entire sections to your existing deck using matching materials and code-rated framing. Whether you need room for a grill, more seating, or a hot tub, we build additions that blend in visually and hold up structurally. Our team handles design, permits, and finishing touches.

Safety First, From Frame to Finish

Built to Code, Designed to Last

We don’t just layer new boards on an old deck. We inspect joists, fasteners, post anchors, and flashing. If anything doesn’t meet code, we fix it before re-decking or extending. All our additions are properly supported and integrated with moisture-resistant hardware so your new deck is safe and up to NJ building standards.

Questions About Re-Decking or Extensions?

NJ Deck Remodeling FAQs

Choosing between cedar and pressure-treated lumber often comes down to durability, maintenance, and budget. These frequently asked questions help clarify what to expect with both options.

How do I know if my deck is eligible for re-decking?

We inspect the frame and structure. If everything is sound and up to code, you’re a good candidate for re-decking.

Can I extend my existing deck without replacing the old part?

Yes. We build seamless additions that match your current deck and meet all NJ building codes.

Will I need a permit for a deck extension?

Most likely. We’ll handle all township permits and coordinate inspections.

Can I switch to composite boards during a re-decking project?

Absolutely. We can upgrade your surface material to composite while keeping your current frame if it passes inspection.
