PergolaHaus
Deck Builders & Contractors in Essex County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 6, 2015
“Between sun, heat and rain, we only used our large deck on a few "perfect" days in the summer. We looked into permanent awnings and roll out awnings but didn't like the look or their functionality. This bioclimatic pergola has transformed our lives. We have basically added a room to our house and we now enjoy our deck in sun and in rain. The automatic features allow us to leave all of our cushions etc. out permemantly. It added a beautiful touch to our house. The installation was flawless!”
Everything Backyards

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 18, 2020
“Everyone I worked with was very helpful and professional! They recently installed a wooden fence for us with two gates. It took about a week from quote to completion. I would highly recommend Everything Backyards if you’re looking for a reliable fencing contractor.”
Magnolia Home Remodeling Group
Deck Builders & Contractors in Essex County
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsApril 19, 2016
“Magnolia just completed a master bathroom addition in our home; they were very thorough and thoughtful in their approach, ensuring all elements of the project were completed in a timely manner with an eye to highest quality finishes. They also put forward ideas for us to consider as the project evolved and offered alternatives that complimented the overall project. Chris was very accommodating and flexible on this 7 week project - overall very good to work with.”
Orange County Deck Co.
Deck Builders & Contractors in Essex County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 17, 2022
“Chris and his team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Always professional, tidy, and responsive. We worked with Chris over 2+ years to remove and build a large back deck and front porch (separate projects). This was throughout COVID and he was always responsive and communicated the various challenges (supply chain, pricing, etc.) that arose. From start to finish, he helped design and build the final products we desired.”
Decks by Kiefer LLC
Deck Builders & Contractors in Essex County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 14, 2014
“Bob Kiefer has done more than a dozen projects for us over the past 20 years. Not only does he design and build award winning decks, he also is able to bring his creative craftsmanship inside the home. Bob has designed and built a bar, fireplace mantle, bookcases, raised paneling, crown molding, and many other projects along with building our deck. His work is just extraordinary. Along with his woodworking skill Bob also has the ability to communicate his vision and allows for revisions during a project. This always results in 100% satisfaction.”
Deck Guardian
Deck Builders & Contractors in Essex County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 1, 2016
“I hired Deck Guardian to replace my wood deck, which was in bad shape. I was amazed at how quickly the job was started and completed after I signed the contract. The work took only 2 days and they completely replaced my wooden deck with a spectacular Trex deck. The final project exceeded all of my expectations and I could not be happier. I would not hesitate to hire Deck Guardian for future projects.”
Deck Remodelers.com
Deck Builders & Contractors in Essex County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 7, 2013
“Deck remodelers were an excellent company in all aspects of the project. I had many estimates for a new deck and they were in the middle price wise. What set them apart from the other companies were the creativity, enthusiasm and the willingness to work with us in giving us exactly what we were looking for in the backyard space. The work was done in a timely manner and when we wanted some small changes to the original design, it was accomplished without delay. Sean the owner of deck remolders has a great team and he himself was so into the project you would have thought he was building the deck for himself. The deck gets raves every time we have friends over. We have seen his extensive body of work on his I-pad and all his designs are a very large cut above the other contractors we brought in for a consult. He has a very creative mind and the technical chops to go with it. They would come with the highest recommendation!”
Vandeck Builders
Deck Builders & Contractors in Essex County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 4, 2020
“We hired Andriy and Star Touch NYC to replace our old, rotting deck with a new deck made of composite materials. He started the job on a Monday and was done by Saturday. He suggested lighting, which we really love, and built a corner bench seat with a table in the middle and wide arm rests for drinks. His crew showed up on time each day, cleaned up after themselves, and were polite. We are so happy to have our new deck and enjoy it this summer. We highly recommend Star Touch NYC.”

It’s better to build a deck when:

  2. You are fine with obtaining building permits and inspections: Decks typically require permits and inspections due to their structural impact on the home.
