Why Homeowners Choose House of Decks
We build decks in the same two counties every week. Here is what that changes.
We pull the permit ourselves
Most deck projects in Bergen and Passaic County need a building permit, and many need zoning review for setbacks. We handle the paperwork with your township so you are not chasing it.
Certified Trex, TimberTech and AZEK installers
Certification is not a logo on a website. It means the boards go down with the correct joist spacing, fastener system and drainage detail, so the material warranty actually holds.
Based in Hawthorne, close to every town we serve
Our yard is at 179 4th Ave Unit A in Hawthorne. We work Passaic and Bergen County only, so we get to a site visit quickly and come back if something needs attention.
Five-year workmanship warranty
On top of the manufacturer's material warranty. Framing, fasteners and finish work are ours to stand behind, in writing.
You deal with the owner, not a salesman
Family owned. The person who quotes your deck is the person responsible for building it, so nothing is lost between the sale and the crew.
A written scope with every estimate
Free, in-home and no obligation. You keep the materials, dimensions and timeline in writing, which makes comparing quotes honest.
How We Build Your Deck — Our 5-Step Process
From the first measurement to the final walkthrough, you know what happens next.
Free in-home estimate
We measure the space, check grade and access, and talk through how you will actually use the deck. Written quote, no obligation.
Layout and material selection
We match the layout to your lot and your home's style, then walk through wood against composite for your exposure and budget.
Permits and zoning
We prepare and file the permit with your township and confirm setback requirements before any material is ordered.
Build
Footings, framing, decking and railings. The same crew works your project start to finish and clears the site each day.
Final walkthrough
We walk the finished deck with you, cover care and maintenance, and register your material warranty.
Decking Materials We Install: Trex, TimberTech & AZEK
Every material we install, what it is genuinely good at, and where it makes sense.
Capped polymer (AZEK)
No wood flour in the board at all, so it handles moisture and heat better than composite and stays cooler underfoot.
Best for full-sun decks and pool surrounds
Pressure-treated wood
The lowest upfront cost and the easiest to repair board by board. Needs cleaning and re-sealing every two to three years to survive NJ winters.
Best for tighter budgets and large footprints
Railing systems
Composite, powder-coated aluminum, cable and glass. Railing is where a deck reads as custom, and it is the part inspectors check hardest.
Best for views, code compliance and finish
Types of Decks We Build
Multi-level, pool decks, screened porches and more — built for how the yard is actually used.
Multi-level decks
Separate the grill, the table and the lounge onto their own levels when the yard slopes or space is tight.
Pool decks
Slip-resistant, cool-underfoot boards and code-compliant barrier railings around an in-ground pool.
Screened porches
A roofed, screened room off the back of the house — usable in July and in October, and it adds finished square footage.
Elevated and hillside decks
Second-storey and sloped-lot builds, where the framing, footings and stair runs do most of the work.
Outdoor kitchens and fire pits
Decks built around how you actually entertain, with structure and clearances planned for the appliances up front.

What Affects the Cost of a Deck in New Jersey
We quote after seeing the site. These are the factors that move the number, so you can read any estimate — ours or someone else's — with clear eyes.
- Size and shape
- Square footage drives material, but corners, angles and multi-level layouts drive labour faster than area alone does.
- Material grade
- Pressure-treated lumber, mid-tier composite and capped polymer sit at very different price points for the same footprint.
- Height and framing
- A deck three feet off the ground and one ten feet up need different footings, posts and bracing. Height is often the largest hidden factor.
- Railings
- Usually the second-largest line item after the decking itself. Cable and glass cost substantially more than composite.
- Stairs, landings and access
- Every run of stairs adds framing, footings and railing. Tearing out an old deck, or a yard a truck cannot reach, adds labour on top.
- Permits and zoning
- Township fees vary across the towns we serve, and a setback variance adds both cost and weeks to the schedule.
- Add-ons
- Lighting, built-in seating, skirting and under-deck drainage are each priced separately from the deck itself.
Deck Permits & Code in North New Jersey
The part most homeowners get surprised by. Here is how it actually works, and what we handle for you.
- Does a new deck need a permit in New Jersey?
- Almost always. A deck attached to the house, or any freestanding deck more than 30 inches above grade, needs a construction permit under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. We prepare and file it.
- What is a zoning setback, and why does it matter?
- Every township sets a minimum distance between a structure and your property lines. A deck that lands inside it needs a variance, which adds weeks — so we check setbacks before drawing anything.
- Who schedules the inspections?
- We do. A deck is typically inspected twice: footings before the concrete goes in, and a final once framing, decking and railings are complete.
- How long does approval take?
- It varies by township, and building departments run slower in spring. We file early in the project so the permit is not what holds up your build.
- Is railing height actually checked?
- Yes, and it is the most common reason a deck fails final inspection. Guards are required above 30 inches, and both height and baluster spacing are measured.
- What if I have an HOA?
- HOA approval is separate from the township permit and neither replaces the other. If your neighbourhood has one, start that submission at the same time.

“House of Decks LLC built our new porch, and the crew arrived when they said they would. They got right to work and kept things moving without making the job feel rushed. The construction was done carefully, and the finished porch has a neat, solid look that works well for our home. I’m very happy with the work. I’d call them again for another project”

“House of Decks LLC built our new porch, and I’d hire them again. During the work, the crew answered my questions and made a helpful adjustment when I pointed out something I wanted handled differently. They were respectful around the house and kept the area organized. The porch has a sturdy, finished look without feeling too elaborate. I’m very satisfied with how everything turned out.”

“House of Decks LLC replaced our old deck. I wanted a sturdy space that looked neat and would be comfortable to use. The finished deck is solid and clean, and the simple look works well behind the house. Once the crew was done, there was very little for us to tidy afterward. I’m really pleased with the result. This was a hardworking, dependable crew to have on the job”
Jeremy Lawrence

“The new elevated deck and stairs came out even better than I expected. Before work started, Stiljano clearly explained what they planned to do, and he answered my questions so I knew what was happening. The crew was respectful around the house and pleasant to have around while they worked. They worked carefully, and the finished gray decking with white railings looks sharp beside the brick house. The stairs feel solid, and the whole deck has a clean, finished look. I’d call Stiljano and the crew again when I have another project.”

“I wanted a contractor who would listen to what we had in mind and make sensible suggestions for our raised deck installation. The team did that without turning the decision into a sales pitch. They explained the available choices in plain language, which made it easier for me to choose the right direction. I also liked that they paid attention to the details we cared about instead of treating the job like a routine order. The finished gray deck with white railing looks clean and suits our house well, but their attitude was what convinced me that choosing them was the right decision in the end.”

“Found these guys online while looking for someone to build our raised deck. The first conversation went well, so we decided to go ahead with them. Their schedule worked with ours, and we didn’t have to be home for every visit, which helped a lot. The crew was polite and treated our home respectfully while they were here. We’re really happy with how the deck turned out. It looks good against the house without being overdone. From that first conversation through the installation, they were easy to deal with. Glad we found them, and a big thank you to the crew for the work they put in”

“Seeing the finished deck was a great feeling. House of Decks LLC built a raised deck with multiple levels, stairs and railings that give the side of our home a completely different look. The white posts and black balusters stand out against the brown decking. The space feels much more inviting now, and that’s what I’d tell anyone considering this kind of work”

“The work done by House of Decks LLC was super when it came to replacing our old deck. Stiljano and his team is a very professional person who communicates well and explains everything from the start. His crew worked fast and left the area clean after all the small details were taken care of.The work done looks wonderful, and the deck is really strong. It was fair price for what we got, and everything went according to our plans. I definitely recommend House of Decks LLC for a deck replacement”

All aspects of their service were explained to us in detail, including the progress of the work and the cost of services, which was quite reasonable and without any surprises. The new deck made of composite material and white railings looks perfect, and everything seems sturdy and quality. Our backyard is transformed into a new space after that.”

“The job that was done by House of Decks LLC for our new deck was really good. They started by removing the old deck and then assisted us in choosing a layout and material options, explaining everything before beginning the process. Their workers arrived on schedule, were fast at working and kept our backyard clean. The end result is a very solid deck with straight boards and railings, which has greatly improved the backyard area. We are really pleased with their work and would recommend them for any deck installation. Thank you guys!”
