FAQ
Q: What types of decks are best for Ocean County’s coastal climate?
In Ocean County towns like Toms River, Brick, and Point Pleasant, decks need to withstand sun, salt air, and occasional storms. Low-maintenance composite or PVC decks are popular because they resist moisture, fading, and splintering. Pressure-treated wood is also a reliable, cost-effective choice when properly sealed.
Q: How long does it take to build a deck?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your deck. A simple backyard deck can usually be completed in 2–3 weeks, while multi-level or custom designs may take 4–8 weeks. Weather in coastal areas can also affect scheduling, so we plan accordingly.
Q: Do I need a permit to build a deck in Ocean County?
Yes. All Ocean County municipalities, including Brick, Toms River, and Point Pleasant, require building permits for new decks or significant renovations. We can help guide you through the permitting process to ensure your deck is compliant with local codes.
Q: How do I maintain my deck at the Jersey Shore?
Maintenance depends on your deck material. Composite and PVC decks need minimal upkeep, while pressure-treated wood or hardwood decks benefit from annual sealing or staining to protect against moisture and sun exposure common in Ocean County.
Q: Can you build decks on sloped or uneven lots?
Yes. We have experience designing multi-level decks, terraced decks, and decks with steps or platforms to accommodate sloped yards. Our designs maximize usable space while keeping construction safe and sturdy.
