  • Built for Your Needs: Whether you want a quiet escape or a lively entertainment area, custom deck installations adapt to your lifestyle. Layouts, built-in seating, and shade options make outdoor living effortless.
  • Durability That Lasts: Unlike prefabricated options, a professionally built custom deck in NJ uses materials chosen for your climate and usage. This means fewer repairs, lower maintenance, and years of reliable performance.

My Deck offers top-quality composite options to fit your style, maintenance preferences, and budget. As specialized composite decking contractors in New Jersey, we install premium materials like:

  • Trex Composite Decking: A popular low-maintenance option made from recycled materials, Trex offers a range of colors and textures. It resists fading, staining, and moisture damage, making it a great long-term investment.
  • TimberTech: Designed for superior durability, TimberTech mimics the look of wood without the upkeep. Its strong protective shell prevents scratches, mold, and UV damage.
  • MoistureShield: This composite decking features advanced moisture resistance, making it ideal for humid or wet environments. It works well around pools, hot tubs, and shaded areas prone to dampness.
  • Deckorators: A high-end composite brand that combines beauty with strength, Deckorators decking includes unique finishes and mineral-based technology for added durability.
  • Wood Decks: We can build your deck in various woods and styles. Whether you choose a natural wood deck or a low-maintenance composite or PVC deck, you can pick from a variety of styles based on the contours of your property, intended use, and your desires.
  • Steel Framing: Made from galvanized or coated steel, it resists warping, rot, and pests for a maintenance-free structure. Its superior strength allows for longer spans with fewer support posts, creating more open deck designs.
  • Helical Pier Footings: These deep-set screw piles anchor securely into the ground, preventing movement from shifting soil or frost. Their strength ensures a solid foundation that won’t settle or heave over time.
