Most custom deck projects are completed in about two weeks once construction begins. Our team builds that timeline into your project plan from the start so you know exactly what to expect and can plan around it.
Yes. Deck Crafters uses 3D modeling during the design process so you can see your finished deck before anything gets built. It is a good way to make sure the layout, materials, and details are exactly right before construction starts.
Pricing is based on the size of your deck, the materials you choose, the complexity of the design, and any features like lighting or railings. Our team walks through all of it transparently during your consultation so you know exactly what you are getting before you commit to anything.
Deck Crafters will build a wood deck using Ipe, though we recommend composite decking materials due to their durability, resistance to rot, and their low-maintenance nature.
Deck Crafters installs Fiberon and Wolf composite decking. Both are high-quality materials backed by manufacturer warranties, and we are a Fiberon Certified Installer and Wolf Pro Builder, so you know the installation is done right.
Composite decking is built to handle the kind of weather New Jersey throws at it. It resists fading, moisture, and warping through hot summers and cold winters, and it does it without the maintenance that wood requires year after year.
For most homeowners, yes. Composite decking costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood, but it saves you money over time because it does not need to be stained, sealed, or replaced as often. If you want a deck that looks great and stays that way without a lot of upkeep, composite is worth a serious look.
Deck Crafters installs Wolf and Keylink railing systems. Both are manufacturer-warranted products that give your deck a clean, finished look while meeting safety requirements.
They do not have to match exactly, but they should complement each other. The Deck Crafters team helps you find a railing style and finish that works with your decking material and fits the overall look you are going for.
Railing requirements depend on the height of your deck and local building codes in your municipality. Deck Crafters handles the permitting process, so we will will know exactly what your project requires and make sure everything is built to code.
Deck Crafters installs low-voltage Truescape lighting. It is energy-efficient, long-lasting, and designed to highlight the best features of your deck, including railings, steps, and the deck surface itself.
We integrate lighting into the deck design from the start so it looks intentional and fits naturally with the rest of the build. Adding lighting as an afterthought rarely looks as good as planning for it up front and can lead to additional costs.
Low-voltage Truescape lighting is designed to be durable and low-maintenance. Once it is installed, you can enjoy your deck after dark without worrying about constant upkeep.
Deck Crafters installs built-in benches, planter boxes, and Dryspace underdecking systems. These features add functionality to your deck and make your outdoor space feel finished rather than bare.
A dryspace underdecking system keeps the area beneath an elevated deck dry by channeling water away. It is a practical addition that turns the area under your deck into usable covered space instead of a wet, muddy spot.
Yes, and that is the best way to do it. Planning features like built-in seating, planter boxes, and underdecking from the start means they are integrated into the design and the build rather than retrofitted later.
