Wood Deck Building in New Jersey

Why Choose Cedar or Pressure-Treated Decks?

Classic Decking with Real Wood Appeal

Wood decking offers natural texture, warmth underfoot, and a cost-effective way to expand your living space. Cedar provides natural resistance to insects and decay, while pressure-treated pine offers strength and long-term affordability. Each option is cut and installed by hand to match your home’s design and layout. We seal every detail from post anchors to stair treads to ensure beauty and safety.

Durable Builds for All Budgets

What to Expect from Our Wood Decks

Wood decks can be tailored to your space and budget—from a simple platform to a multi-tiered entertainment area. We use treated lumber that resists rot and warping, and cedar that offers unmatched charm and natural performance. Each project includes proper joist spacing, sealed cuts, and fasteners built for NJ’s weather.

Wood That’s Built for Weather

Long-Term Protection Starts with the Right Build

Our team understands how New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and hot summers can affect wood. That’s why we build with elevated footings, moisture-resistant joist tape, and sealed ends on every board. You’ll get more life and less maintenance from a wood deck that’s built the right way from day one.

Common Wood Deck Questions

FAQs About Cedar & Pressure-Treated Decks

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.

With proper sealing and care, cedar decks last 15–20 years, and pressure-treated pine can last over 20 years

How often should I stain or seal my wood deck?

We recommend sealing annually and staining every 2–3 years, depending on sun and moisture exposure.
