Deck ProsThis large deck was built in Holmdel, NJ. The flooring is Ipe hardwood. The rail is Azek brand synthetic railing system.
The pergola is clear cedar that has been primed and painted. The columns are 10" square Permacast brand.
The high underside of the deck is covered with solid Ipe skirting. This blocks the view of the deck under-structure from people enjoying the lower paver patio.
Low voltage lights were added to the rail posts, in the pergola and in the stair risers. These lights add a nice ambiance to the deck, as well as safety.

Mjolnir ConstructionA favorite among new homeowners! We are asked for this deck design more than any other design.
Shown is a 14' x 16' main area, with a 6' x 10' section to the right of the builder deck, where the BBQ is located.
This type of deck design incorporates the builder deck (3' x 6') without the added cost of building an elevated deck to match the height, which would include railings, permits, etc.
Important to note is the skirting which not only keeps unwanted animals from making their home under your deck, but is also a nice finishing touch.
Please be sure to check with your builder as to when you are able to begin construction, as most new home builders ask that you wait at least one year after closing so final inspections can be completed by the city.
Deck & Drive SolutionsTimbertech PVC Capped Composite Deck with Westbury Full Aluminum Railing with under Deck Skirting
Final Touch Decks & Fences3 Techno Metal Post helical piles holding up our pressure treated framing with G-tape to help protect the sub structure. Decking for this project was Azek's coastline and dark hickory with Timbertech's impression rail express using their modern top rail. Skirting was vertical dark hickory, horizontal fascia and black pvc lattice .
Deck Remodelers.com The original multiple decks and elevated patio blocked the pool and fractured the space. This design creates an elegant progression from the home’s interior to poolside. The wide stairs oriented towards the pool provide pool views from the entire deck. The interior level provides for relaxed seating and dining with the magnificence of nature. The descent of a short group of stairs leads to the outdoor kitchen level. The barbeque is bordered in stone topped with a countertop of granite. The outdoor kitchen level is positioned for easy access midway from either the pool or interior level. From the kitchen level an additional group of stairs flow down to the paver patio surrounding the pool. Also incorporated is a downstairs entry and ample space for storage beneath the deck sourced through an access panel. The design connects the interior to poolside by means of a rich and functional outdoor living design.
G. Christianson Construction, Inc.Tri-level aluminum deck with firetable. LED rope lighting was used under the handrails to provide ambient lighting. A cable railing system was installed to allow for a more broad visual sight line from any point on the deck. A matching deck skirt was added to conceal the framing and create a dry storage area for the homeowners.

Mjolnir ConstructionThis customer hired us to improve their backyard space, as the upper deck was in need of updating and they required a large deck with raised garden beds for planting.
We built a spectacular 360Sqft. pressure treated wood deck with a picture frame deck edge and mid span deck border. Skirting was installed across the front of the deck as well.
A large set of 6' wide pressure treated wood stairs feature the same design as the main deck. We always support our stairs with a limestone screening and patio stone base to prevent movement and sinking!
Two western red cedar garden beds finish the sides of the deck, which will be used for growing vegetables. As a special surprise for our customer, we dedicated the garden beds to the their mother and father who both recently passed away. Inscribed on a live edge piece of white cedar, are the words "Giardino di Maria" and "Giardino di Stefano" which translated from Italian is "Garden of Maria" and "Garden of Stefano".
To revitalize the upper balcony, we capped the drop beam and rim joists with new pressure treated wood. We also removed the old decking and replaced with new pressure treated wood. The railing was removed and replaced with an exterior post and rail system using pressure treated wood and black aluminum balusters.
This was a very special project for us, and one that we will always remember.
