EMJ Deck Builders LLC | Maplewood Deck Construction Company in NJ

Our Services

Whether it's a new build or repair project, we work with only the best decking materials.

Deck Installation

Custom-designed composite and wood decks built from the ground up. We specialize in Trex Transcend composite decking that's highly resilient to the elements and requires essentially no maintenance. Our team handles jobs of all scopes — from small residential decks to large multi-level structures.

Deck Resurfacing

Give your existing deck new life. We replace deck boards, railings, and stairs on your existing frame and foundation. If your deck's surface is looking worn or the railings and stairs are becoming unsafe, our team will choose the right materials to get your old deck looking brand new.

Gazebos & Pavilions

Extend your outdoor living space with beautiful custom gazebos and pavilion structures. We design and build structures that complement your home and provide comfortable outdoor gathering areas for family and friends year-round.

Under Decking Systems

Maximize the usable space beneath your elevated deck with a professional under-decking system. Keep the area below your deck dry and functional — perfect for storage, additional seating areas, or a second outdoor living space.

Paver Patios & Pergolas

Complete your outdoor living vision with custom paver patios, pergolas, covered structures, outdoor kitchens, louvered roofs, fire pits, and fireplaces. We handle the full spectrum of outdoor construction projects.

Deck Repairs & Maintenance

From replacing damaged boards and fixing loose railings to structural repairs and safety upgrades, we handle all types of deck repair work. We also install deck lighting to extend your outdoor enjoyment into the evening hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new deck cost?

Deck costs vary depending on materials, size, design complexity, and site conditions. A standard composite deck typically ranges from $15,000 to $45,000. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate quote for your specific project.

How long does it take to build a deck?

Most residential decks take 1 to 3 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity. We work continuously without unnecessary breaks and keep you updated throughout the process.

Do you handle permits?

Yes, we handle all necessary building permits for your deck project. Permit requirements vary by municipality in New Jersey, and our team is familiar with local codes across our service area.

Why composite decking instead of wood?

Composite decking, like the Trex Transcend line we specialize in, is highly resistant to fading, scratching, and weather damage. Unlike wood, it requires virtually no maintenance — no staining, sealing, or sanding needed. It comes with a 25-year warranty and maintains its appearance for decades.

Do you offer free estimates?

Absolutely. We offer free, no-obligation on-site estimates. One of our team members will visit your property, discuss your vision, take measurements, and provide a detailed written quote. Call us or fill out our contact form to schedule yours.

What areas do you serve?

We serve homeowners across Northern and Central New Jersey, including Maplewood, Cranford, Westfield, Summit, South Orange, Millburn, Short Hills, Montclair, Union, Springfield, and surrounding communities.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, EMJ Deck Builders is fully licensed and insured in the state of New Jersey. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for your protection.

Can you work with my existing deck frame?

In many cases, yes. Our deck resurfacing service replaces the surface boards, railings, and stairs while keeping the existing frame and foundation. We'll inspect your current structure and let you know if resurfacing is a viable and cost-effective option.
