Welcome. This is the page that shows before and after images of various projects underaken and completed by the expert craftsmen at DeckBuilder Custom Decks & Railings, LLC.
Here you'll see images of many of the decks that we've built over the last several years. If you have any questions, please use the contact information below to call or write. I will return your message.
Complete in all its waterfront splendor is this project at the home of Carol & Mark Schreur, in South Mantoloking, New Jersey.
Here we closed the sand-gap between the Schreur's home and their dock with more than 1,000 square feet of AZEK cellular PVC decking in the new Sedona color. We also built a small access porch from the rear door. And we lit up the dock with 20 MicroStar LEDs, which aren't even noticeable during the day.
And yes, there is a directionally-accurate compass rose inlay. Check it out below.
First up is an image that our happy homeowner took of two of the hardest working guys in the industry preparing the footings. Then you'll see an image of our quality control officer checking the inlay. What's that? Yep. It's perfect.
And now, four shots showing the completed project, including a night shot provided compliments of homeowner Mark.


===============================================================
Completed on July 1, 2010, in Monmouth County, New Jersey is this deck rebuild and extension.
The old wooden deck was crumbling from its footings to the railing. So we threw it into a dumpster and built a new deck--bigger and better--using AZEK Morado decking, CertainTeed EverNew railing, low-voltage stair and railing lights, DeckStone tiles for fire-pit placement, and a mixed deck skirt, combining the look of solid skirting with the cross-ventilation of latticework.
First up is a "before" picture, followed by several final images.


And here are a couple of images our happy homeowners sent showing the deck fully furnished. Nice stuff!!


============================================================================
Another of our 2010 works of art is complete in the back yard of Eric and Isabelle Cosatto, in Red Bank, New Jersey, where we took off the old sagging wooden deck, and building a new AZEK creation. There are benches and railing and some really innovative steps.
These first two images show the old and the new. Then you'll see some images displaying the evolution of the project.

Here's a "day one" image showing what the old deck looked like after 29 minutes with a chain saw. Then there's an image showing the new deck structure nearly ready for decking.

And now here are three images showing our detail work. The contrast of AZEK Ivory and Clay worked out great!


===================================================================
Completed in May, 2010, is this functional creation, in the back yard of Janet and Bob Bruns,of West Creek, New Jersey.

============================================================
Here are images of a spring, 2010 project on Chadwick Island, Lavallette, New Jersey, at the residence of Rose & Eric Lyght.
When I first visited with the Lyghts, their old wooden deck was collapsing, partly because of a deteriorating bulkhead. So our good friends at McGuire Marine installed a new state-of-the-art bulkhead, and drove pilings on which we assembled 1600 square feet of TimberTech XLM cellular PVC decking.
The decking is fastened using ConceaLoc hidden fasteners, has CertainTeed EverNew railing installed with several gates, and of course, being waterfront, features the DeckBuilder signature: A directionally accurate Compass Rose inlay, complete with MicroStar LEDs at the four major directional points.
First up are two images showing the old deck and walkway slowly allowing gravity to have its way.

Here are two showing the property prepped for our arrival.
Now here are a couple of images showing what two really talented and crazy-handsome guys can do in two days.

And now, without too much commentary, the evolution of our project.




================================================================================
In March, 2010, we increased the outdoor entertaining possibilities of the Welchman family, in the GreenBriar community of Waretown, NJ. Here we tore off the old 8' x10' wooden deck the developer provided, and in its place erected 300 square feet of AZEK deck and CertainTeed railing. You'll see that we wrapped the support columns and beams with white PVC trim board. Three post cap lights and gravel underneath completed this project.

==========================================================
In between the snowstorms of February, 2010, we constructed a deck for Rick & Kathy Wallace, of Toms River, NJ.
Here we busted through the existing, deteriorating concrete patio to place footings for a 300 square foot AZEK deck with CertainTeed EverNew railings. The deck was finished with custom underdeck latticework, and post & stair riser lights.

==========================================================
In January, 2010, we completed building the deck of Allan and Loretta Eliasen, in Millstone Township, New Jersey.
Here we tore down the old, and built a bigger and better deck. The new structure is just more than 600 square feet of AZEK decking, with CertainTeed EverNew railing, and a measure of low-voltage lighting.
The first image shows the old wooden deck before Ken and I got there and tore it down. The rest of the images illustrate the evolution of the project. Unfortunately, I did not yet get the final night shots. But keep checking back.




=================================================================================
In November, 2009, in the Barnegat back yard of the Cioffi family, we erected a more-than-500 square foot AZEK deck with a 12-foot screened gazebo and lots of High Point Deck Lights. The skirting for this project has set a new standard for underdeck enclosures. Be sure to check it out. Also be sure to check back, as we will be posting nights shots of the spectacular lighting setup.
The first image shows the project just after the footings were poured, and before we tore off the joke that the home builder installed to satisfy code. From there, the photos will show the evolution of the project.







===========================================================================
Completed in October, 2009 was 1,000 square feet of sheer bliss, in Manahawkin, New Jersey, at the home of Bonnie & Dave Geddes. Here we built a two-tier deck that features AZEK cellular PVC decking, a section of Stone Deck to withstand burns from a fireplace, a ShadeTree pergola and shade system custom configured to our design, and a boatload of High Point Deck Lights, the perfect finish.
The first two images below show the Geddes' home before America's DeckBuilder moved in.

The next two images show the two hardest working guys in the industry--doing what else?--working hard, getting ready to pour the concrete footings. That's First Decknician Ken Argenti on the left, and yours truly on the machine.
The next two images show the deck structure coming together. The footings and beams are all in place.

And here, nearly all the joists have been installed.

Now the trim, lights, and decking will be applied. Just wait till you see it!

Most of the decking is installed. All the lights are hooked up. Now just another day or two.

And now some big images of the preliminary final. We are still waiting for one piece of stone, one large pergola/shade system, and that all-important fireplace. The deck has just been washed. Thus, the water.

========================================================================
Just below are images of the Nicastro deck, in South River, New Jersey, which was completed in autumn, 2009. Here we built a deck connecting the house and the pool, using AZEK deck, CertainTeed EverNew railing, and custom skirting that ties all the colors together.
Below you'll see one before image, followed by a good representation of what two guys can do in one day.
And then there are two final images. (You may note that the siding has been changed as well).


===================================================================================
This August, 2009 completion is the Mullin project, in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey.
Once the homeowner removed the old wooden deck, we were able to build a deck that connects the house and the pool. We used all the best, as usual, including AZEK decking and CertainTeed EverNew railing. You'll see three sets of steps, and one custom bench along the low side of the deck.

=============================================================================================
This project is the Cahill deck, in the GreenBriar development, in Waretown, New Jersey. Here we've torn down a rickety wooden deck that was erected by the expert hammer swingers that the developer found, and we replaced it with a quality product featuring AZEK Kona decking, CertainTeed EverNew railing, and our top-secret, super-cool, PVC post wrap.
Seems I never took any "before" pix. So the first one up is the structure complete at the end of day one. And the second one is, well, finished.

====================================================================================================
This complete project is in the back yard of the Werner family, in Holmdel, New Jersey, where we knocked down an unsafe, elevated wooden deck and replaced it with an expanded footprint in AZEK decking and railing materials. We built a new set of stairs to replace the old dog ramp; wrapped all the exposed wood with PVC trim board, and installed lots of--what else?--High Point Deck Lights.
Here are six shots I took on June 30, showing the old deck deconstructing over about eight hours. Between Deck Technician Ken Argenti (pictured) and myself, the old wooden deck never had a chance. After that are a series of images showing the making of a point of light. Check the last image showing the High Point Deck Lights. We make our clients very happy.







========================================================
Another recent project has taken shape in Englishtown, New Jersey, where we assembled a large elevated deck with AZEK decking, Certainteed EverNew glass baluster railing, and lots of cool High Point Deck Lights.
First up is a "before" image showing the tiny little wooden deck the home builder provided. Then you'll see some process images, showing the progress of our project.
( 

And here are some preliminary final shots. I'll post more after the pavers are complete and the lights are all installed.

A 2009 project was a new deck in the back yard of Mary Dugan, in Toms River. The deck that came with her house, as you can see in the first two images, provided privacy, but was a little confining. And it didn't really have a place for the patio furniture. So with that old deck in the landfill, we created a backyard lounge area that will allow our homeowner to relax in style. We used AZEK decking with CertainTeed railing, and we wrapped that hot tub with the skill that only the expert deck technicians at America's DeckBuilder have mastered.
The first two images are, of course, "before" shots.

Here are two images taken as we began construction. The first shows Joe, our delivery guy from Universal Supply, bringing the materials in from the street. And the second shows our homeowner, Mary, sharing a laugh with Senior Deck Technician Ken Argenti.

Below are two images taken at day's end on May 14th. The structure is nearly ready for decking.

And here are two images of the finished product.

Now complete is the Fitzmaurice project, in Toms River, NJ. Here we've taking down a small wooden deck, and a smaller wooden porch. In their place we built a roughly-800 square foot AZEK deck. The deck mirror sthe outside edge of the existing pool, and features one step between deck and concrete walkway. As usual, we've installed some beautiful High Point deck lights in the stair risers.
Below are two before images, and two during shots, which were taken on April 27th.


And here are four images of the finished product, which features High Point Deck Lights' stair riser lights, and a custom under-window storage box.
=====================================================================
Below I've documented the resurrection of the Miller family deck in Barnegat, New Jersey. We found the structure of the old deck to be usable, so with some simple reinforcements, we resurfaced with AZEK decking, and installed CertainTeed EverNew railing. We also added a low-voltage lighting component, with post cap and stair riser lights.
Firsrt up are two "before" images. Then you'll see three "during" shots. And finally, three "final" images.



=====================================================================
Our final project of the 2008 season is shown here in the back yard of the Toscano family, in the GreenBriar development, in Waretown, New Jersey. Because of the community restrictions on deck size, much of the Toscano's available deck area was consumed by a redundant stairway, leaving them with barely 100 square feet. So to maximize their outdoor relaxation possibilities, we've torn down the high-maintenance wood structure, and increased the deck size to the largest allowed in the development, nearly tripling their usable area. We've be used AZEK decking and Certainteed EverNew railing.
First up are, of course, two "before" images. And while the deck doesn't look too-awful bad in these images, the Toscanos confessed that it took three days to stain all that wood. When we're done, I promised them, there'll be no more working on their deck--as it should be.

Now here are two images showing the final product--lots of relaxing area with virtually no maintenance.

==========================================================================
The Flynn family's project, in Barnegat, New Jersey, is complete. When the old wooden decking, railing and skirting finally got voted out, in its place went AZEK decking & skirting, with Certainteed EverNew railing. This new deck also features three different lighting components: Railing post; stair riser, and skirt wash lights.
First up are two"before" images.

Demolition complete, rebuilding begun, below.

Day three: Skirting complete.

Day four: Decking complete, lighting and railing begun.

Railing is complete and the lights are done. All that's left is a bench, a couple of planters, and some underdeck access doors.

When the rains finally stop, I'll update this page with new, final images.
=================================================================================
Here are images of the Hopkins project, in Toms River, NJ, where we replaced wooden decking and railing with TimberTech composite products. We used 5/4" Twin Finish gray for the decking, and RadianceRail in River Rock for the rails. Before and after, I think, are fairly obvious.


=====================================================================================
Next up are images of the McCarthy/White project, in Brick, NJ, where we've taken a waterfront wooden deck apart, and using the same general footprint, rebuilt a better back yard, eliminating clumsy levels, steps and benches, and replacing all that old wood and outdoor carpeting with AZEK composite decking and trim, and Certainteed EverNew railing. Talk about a clean-up! Check it out.
After the first three pride images, you'll see a series of before and after images showing the project from similar vantage points.






================================================================
Here is my deck, in my back yard, in Barnegat, NJ. My wife and kids had been hounding me, for years, to replace our deck: "How can you do everybody else's," they'd say, "when ours is so old and splintering?"
The whole of the story is that the deck was here when we bought our home, eight years ago. And I have never so much as power-washed it, let alone sanded or stained it. The project has been progressing as a family undertaking. So the only deck technicians you'll see here are my wife and kids. We've decided to build with AZEK decking, Premier railing, and a host of low-voltage lights.
The images below are shown in chronological order, from my daughter, Alexa, enjoying the deck's last days, to demolition, to resurrection. Follow along as we build a better back yard.


Now the resurrection begins. The following images show my son, Matt, following my lead in levelling the posts, and installing the wiring. Then you'll see Alexa trying her hand at wiring (until she tires of it, after 14 seconds). And then you can see my lovely wife, Rhonda, expertly installing the decking.



In the next two images, you'll see the whole family, in their varied work clothes, installing FastenMaster "Cortex" plugs into the benches surrounding our hot tub--The finishing touch!

And now, finally, some final images. Night shots are soon to come.


========================================================================
Below is the Gallo Deck, in Middletown, NJ. As you can see, we've taken the wooden stairs off of a relatively new home, and built more than 400 square feet of AZEK and CertainTeed perfection. The deck is elevated to the home's first floor level, and features an offset octagonal corner. The stairs are built partially interior to the structure, and the skirting reflects the decking and railing colors. Add to that three different types of low-voltage lighting, and the Gallo family will be entertaining in unique style.


======================================================================
Below are the Lacher and Schlomann projects, in the GreenBriar development, in Waretown, New Jersey. .
At the Lacher home, we've taken down the garbage the home builder provided (I guess they call that a deck), and in its place erected a modest 12'x20' elevated deck using TimberTech XLM cellular-PVC decking, with Certainteed EverNew railing. We've also installed an underdeck drainage system.
The first image, below, shows the old wooden deck as it existed in March. The second image shows Deck Technicians Joe (young guy, foreground) and Ken (grumpy old guy. background) fastening the new ledger board after complete demolition of the old deck. Images three and four show progress completed at the first day's end. And then there are two images of the completed project.



==============================================================================
Here is the Schlomann project, also in the GreenBriar development. The first, "before," picture shows Jim Schlomann standing underneath the "deck" that came with the house. And you can see that the builder supplied them, and each of their neighbors, with a less-than-spectacular, less-than-sound, just-barely-code-compliant 8' x 10' wooden deck.
We've taken that questionable structure down and built two levels of the largest deck the GreenBriar Architectural Committee will allow. We used TimberTech XLM cellular-PVC decking, in Mountain Cedar, along with CertainTeed EverNew railing, in white. We also trimmed the deck in white PVC trim board; installed some cool LED lights on the lower deck, and some post cap lights upstairs. And we finished the project with a rain-diversion system underneath the upper structure.



Below are images of the nearly completed project, on August 13. All that's left is to install the underdeck water drainage system. Note happy homeowner Jim Schlomann presenting the deck.

And here is the final product.

====================================================================
Below is the Collins Project, in Barnegat, New Jersey.
We've taken off the old wooden stairs leading nowhere, and replaced them with a beautiful AZEK deck, complete with Certainteed EverNew railing, and custom underdeck, PVC beadboard skirting.




===============================================================================
Next up is the Fahey project, in Middletown, New Jersey. You can see that we've replaced the 3'x6' wooden platform with some 450 square feet of AZEK perfection, fastening the decking with FastenMaster's "Cortex" hidden fasteners. And ,of course, we used Certainteed EverNew aluminum-reinforced vinyl railing. The deck is trimmed with white, cellular PVC trim board. And we used a top-secret column-wrap to hide the wood uprights.
Here are two "before" images taken in mid-March.

And here are four images showing the final product.


==========================================================================
Next up is the Ahrlich deck, in the Mirage development, in Barnegat.
As you can see, the Ahrlich family had a steep drop to their less-than-deluxe concrete patio. We've hidden that patio beneath 360 square feet of AZEK decking, complete with custom planters and benches.
Here are several before, during and after images.



=================================================================================
Next up is the Stanton project, in Lakewood, NJ. Seems the Stantons had a stamped-concrete patio around their pool that directed water into their basement. And they had two steps down every time they went out the back door, as seen in these two before images.

Now check out these four images showing this project complete. We've constructed a backyard paradise of AZEK decking and trim, along with some HighPoint deck lights. All that's left is some landscaping work and getting that pool opened.


=======================================================
Here are several images showing various stages of the Wisniewski project, in Forked River, where we replaced an old, deteriorating wooden deck with a slightly larger TimberTech deck. One of the features of this deck is the custom railing-top, designed to hold a bottle (or can) of select beverage.





=================================================================
Here are several images showing various stages of demolition and reconstruction of the decks at the Winsper home, on Long Beach Island. We've taken down two levels of very dangerously-deteriorating deck and replaced them with completely new structures. They got TimberTech decking and Certainteed EverNew railing--All the best.




=====================================================================================
Here is another 2008 project, in the Jasinski's yard, in Toms River. It's a simple 16'x20' rectangle with TimberTech Cedar decking, Certainteed EverNew railing, custom underdeck skirting, and a next door neighbor busy powerwashing his deck, with bleach, in his annual maintenance routine (See the enhanced image, background). Our clients NEVER have to work on their decks. They let their decks work for them.

=====================================================================================
Now have a look at the first 2008 project, in the waterfront yard of the Krentz family, in Beach Haven West.
Here we dismantled a deteriorating, single level, rectangular wooden deck and replaced it with more than 800 square feet of absolute perfection. The new deck features Azek decking (formerly ProCell), custom benches, three tiers with competing decking patterns, and a compass rose inlay. There are also four different styles of lights integrated into this work.
Below you'll find images showing various stages of construction. They're all pretty self-explanatory, showing progress made through the cold February and March days.

Below are two images taken on March 26th. The first image shows yours truly lording over deck technicians Matt Bobe and Rich Potts, who were busy installing the decking.

April 3rd saw the completion of decking installation, which was accomplished with FastenMaster's "Cortex" fasteners. Look real close and you won't see them. They're that good.

Finally, images taken on a rainy April 8th show the project complete. The space between the tables will accommodate a barbecue grill. Now bring on the summer!


===================================================================================
Our final deck of the 2007 season is shown in the waterfront yard of the Robbins family, on Green Island, in Toms River. Here we've taken down an old wooden deck that impeded the homeowners' sunset views over their lagoon, and erected a two-tier, 650 square foot TimberTech deck. This deck features two sets of stairs, one of which is 16-feet wide. There are also custom benches at the front edge of the upper deck. And the underdeck is enclosed with solid PVC beadboard skirting, with an access door to allow storage.

===================================================================================
Here are images of the Romano project, in Millstone Township, where we've erected an 800 square foot ProCell deck, which features custom ProCell skirting, 8-foot wide steps, and stair & post caps lights.
While I neglected to get any "before" images, you'll find images below showing various stages of the project.
And here are two "final" images, taken on December 17th.

===========================================================================
Completed on November 15th, and shown below, is the Keller Project, in Toms River, New Jersey, where we dismantled an old, thoughtful wooden deck, and replaced it with nearly 1,600 feet of sheer bliss: A mulit-level deck with TimberTech Earthwood decking, in contrasting colors of Teak and Walnut; Stainless Steel cable railing; A custom bar; two 6-foot Compass Rose inlays; and enough surface-mount LEDs that the deck may be seen from outer space.
Below you'll find images showing the project from beginning to end. The first shows the house as it existed in March, 2007. And the second shows the completed project on November 15, 2007.
Here are a couple of images showing work completed in early August. The first shows the lower deck nearly complete. And the next shows lower decking complete, most of the skirting and stairs complete, and LEDs everywhere (look closely).
Next up are images showing the project on November 15th, from various angles.
You'll see the bar completed, as well as the compass rose inlays. Note that the inlays actually point north, and the primary directional points (N, E, S, W) each have a microstar LED light installed. You can see the lights in the first image.
Also note the stainless steel cable railing, which has microstar LEDs in the top rail, but you can't see them because I've not yet taken any night shots.


And here are the happy homeowners--Ray, Jr.; Ray, Sr.; and Joni--with their happy DeckBuilder.

===================================================================
Another 2007 undertaking, shown below, is the Banach deck, in Beachwood, New Jersey.
In early 2007, the Banachs moved into their new home with a dirt back yard and a set of steps that allowed them to get to their dirt from their house. Since that time, they'd installed a pool, and then gave me the go-ahead to build a bi-level deck, complete with TimberTech decking, PVC trim board, custom skirting, and plenty of LED lights.
First up are "before" images, showing the dirt as it existed in early spring, 2007.

And finally, here are two images showing the completed project.

===============================================================================
Next up is the Maloney deck, in Jackson, New Jersey.
Here we're took down a rickety old wooden deck and built a 520 square foot TimberTech deck, complete with TimberTech railing and High Point custom deck lights.
Below are four images showing the initial stages of the project. The first is, of course, a "before" image, showing Donna and Kevin discussing deck options. Image #2 shows the project after a couple hours of demolition--the footings dug and ready for concrete.


==================================================================================
Another 2007 undertaking is the Muscelli project, in Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey.
Here, we took a sloping, splintering, wooden deck apart and erected a work of excellence, consisting of a ProCell deck with custom benches and a covered portico entrance. We've trimmed the project with AZEK PVC trim board. And we installed surface-mount LED lights around the perimeter.
Up first are two "before" images, taken sometime last year.

Next are several images showing various project stages.




===================================================================================
The first project of our 2007 spring season was assembled in the yard of the Kaunitz family, in Toms River, NJ. Here we removed three sets of rickety wooden steps and erected 960 square feet of pure magic: An elevated deck constructed using ProCell decking and EverNew railing; a 10'x12' oval, screened, vinyl gazebo; two sets of stairs; and deluxe underdeck latticework enclosure.
Up first are, of course, two before images, taken early on a frigid morning in February, 2007. And following are images showing various stages of construction.

Image #2, below, shows our materials being expertly delivered by Joe, from Universal Building Supply.


================================================================
Next up is the Rainsford project, in Barnegat, NJ. We turned a partially wooded, partially weeded backyard into a magazine layout, with a TimberTech deck and a Masterson pool, all surrounded by and tied together with pavers.
These first two images are, of course, before images, taken sometime in late summer, 2006.

And here are two images taken as work progressed.
You can see that many of the trees have been removed, a swimming pool was expertly installed by the good guys at Masterson Pools, Inc., the paver guys have been busy trying to make sure there is no grass to mow, and a fence has been erected around the property.
You'll also see that I have begun building the structure for one of the finest decks on the east coast.
The deck will consist of TimberTech decking with Certainteed EverNew railing, and will be skirted with a clapboard-siding-look created with TimberTech trim board and a bit of creativity. The finishing touches on this deck will be several different types of low-voltage lighting, including post-cap lights, stair riser lights, and directional wash lighting, which will "wash" the deck skirt with a soft glow.

And here are two images showing the finished product.

====================================================
Next up are images of the Barbaro project, completed in Jackson in fall, 2006. Here, we took a grassy backyard with a simple concrete patio and turned it into a relaxation retreat for the homeowners, John & Emily. We built a multi-level deck with hot tub, open-air shower, and low voltage lighting.
We used all the best materials available, as usual, including ProCell decking, Azek trim boads, and Certainteed EverNew railing.
Here are two "before" images.

On October 8th, the weather finally allowed us to complete this project. Railing was installed, lighting was hooked up, shower floor drain was completed, and a bench was installed in the shower stall.

=====================================================
Our early September undertaking, the Pantoliano project, in Surf City, NJ, saw us remove the old wooden decking, stairs, railing, and a shower enclosure from two attached decks. We replaced the decking with TimberTech's Florizon decking in the front, and TimberTech's "twin finish 5/4" decking in the rear. The underdeck was enclosed with our signature custom latticework, trimmed with Azek PVC trim board.
While we didn't get any "before" pictures, you'll find four images from the first two days of demolition below.


On September 12th, we nearly completed the front deck. Lights were wired, decking was applied, stairs were built, and lattice was installed.

September 13 saw the installation of railing support posts and completion of the latticework on the front deck. Out back we set some posts for the outdoor shower, begia some rewiring for outlets and lights, and began to reinforce the structure for new decking and railing.
The first two images below show the front deck at day's end, ready for the finishing touches. And the following two show the rear deck reinforcements.


After suffering heavy losses in the freak flood on September 15th, we were able to get back to business, with new materials, on the 18th. The two images below show the latticework nearly completed. Wiring for a new oulet and for the low voltage lighting was installed. And the first deck boards were laid.

September 19th saw the completion of decking installation, completion of all underdeck trim work, completion of all wiring, and installation of the railing post supports on the rear deck. The first image below shows the whole rear deck. The second image shows the shower floor and trap door. The railing components were placed on the deck in anticipation of more rain, which started just as we were ready to leave for the day. Hence, the speckled look of the decking.

September 19th allowed us to complete all decking installation, wiring, trim and railing.
The first image below shows the rear deck waiting for the shower. The second image shows Deck Technician Matt Bobe installing the railing balusters. (He's a happy technician.)
The third & fourth images show the front deck from different angles.


Pictured below is the outdoor shower enclosure that we created, minus one door, which was being built at picture time.

Look now! It's only March, and we've got a shower door installed AND a place to put the trash cans!

==========================================================
One of our August undertakings, the Zanvardine Project, located in Barnegat, New Jersey, involved a two-level TimberTech deck with Certainteed EverNew railing and a low-voltage lighting system.
Below are two images showing the property before we moved in.



============================================================================================
Here are a few quick shots of the Passenti Project, in Toms River.
The first two images show the house before work was begun, and the following two show the completed deck.
Deck technician Matt Bobe graces the deck in one of the images.


======================================================================
The Patterson Project, shown below, is located in Jackson, New Jersey. This multi-level deck exibits many unique features, including built-in benches & planters, custom lighting, and EverGrain decking & railing in contrasting colors.
But first things first. Here are two "before" images, followed by two images that show the old platform removed and the footings dug & ready for concrete.


And here are two images showing the project status at day's end on June 30th.

Images below show the project on July 12th. Lower decking has been installed, stairs completed, upper decking begun, and some lights have been installed.

By day's end on July 14th, nearly all decking has been installed, and the planters are just about complete.

July 17th saw completion of all decking, installation of all lighting, and installation of upper deck railing. Four images follow.

Here is the DiBernardo Project, located in Jackson, New Jersey. This project involved a main, rectangular deck, with a step-up 12-foot octagon deck. TimberTech decking was used, as were Azek trim boards and post & stair lights.
The first two images are, of course, "before" pictures. Then you'll see two images showing the structure of the deck.


And finally, here are four images of the finished product.


=================================================
The McLaughlin Project is located in Ship Bottom, on Long Beach Island.
The first images are "before" pictures, which show the old wooden deck and back yard as they existed in March, 2006.

Then we've got some images from May 27th, where you can see the concrete poured for the hot tub, and some of the pilings have been inserted and notched for beam placement.

The next two images show structural progess over the next couple of days, along with an installed hot tub.

And below are four images showing the completed project. You'll see some pretty cuts, and a removable step that allows access to the hot-tub drains and electrical panel.

Here now is the Sullivan project. This undertaking was begun in early April and was completed on April 17.
The project involved removing all wood decking, railing and stairs from five decks at three levels; completely rebuilding two sets of stairs, and reinforcing, re-decking, re-railing, & trimming out all decks.
The first two images will give you an idea of what the house looked like before. The following images show the completed project from several different perspectives.




Below are images of the South Shore Condo project.
Here are two showing the project after deck demolition was completed on April 18.

Two images below show the project just shy of completion, with only privacy screens to be installed between units.

Below you'll find images of the Luipersbeck project, begun in February, but not completed until May, thanks to a licensed engineer who kept forgetting what we were building, effectively leaving us hanging without a permit.
The project involved complete demolition and construction of decks that are double the size of the previously existing.
The first two images show the old two-story deck virtually sinking into the lagoon, before DeckBuilder came to the rescue.

Here are two images taken after demolition began, on April 18, 2006. The upper deck has been completely removed, along with the lower railing.
You can also see that pilings have been driven to support the new deck, which will be twice the size of the old.
Here are several images that show the finished product at the Luipersbeck property.
The first two images were taken during the day, and the others were, well: Take a look.

Here we eliminated use of the grade level concrete patio by covering it with 600 square feet of relaxation and entertainment possibility.
We used AZEK Tahoe cellular PVC decking, with CertainTeed EverNew railing, and custom vinyl skirting.
While I forgot to get "before" pix, I at least got some images at the end of construction day #2.

And here are two images from the end of construction day #3: Project complete--clients happy as can be.
