At Decks N’ Stones, we believe that building a deck is more than just a construction project — it’s about creating a space where life happens. Whether it’s morning coffee on a quiet terrace or hosting a summer barbecue with friends and family, your deck should feel like an extension of your home. Explore our custom deck building services.
Our team brings years of hands-on experience, local insight, and a deep respect for craftsmanship to every project. We’ve built everything from rooftop retreats in Manhattan to backyard sanctuaries in Queens, and we understand how to navigate the challenges of building in NYC’s complex urban landscape.
What sets us apart is our commitment to quality, transparency, and service. We don’t cut corners. We don’t disappear halfway through the job. We show up, communicate clearly, and leave your property better than we found it.
From the first sketch to the final nail, our goal is simple: deliver a deck that’s beautiful, functional, and built to last. We’re not just contractors — we’re your trusted partners in outdoor living.
Custom Deck Building
From pressure-treated to premium composite, we design and build custom decks that elevate your outdoor space. Whether it’s a simple platform or a multi-level showpiece, every deck starts with a thoughtful plan and ends with craftsmanship you can trust.
Deck Repairs & Expansions
Sagging structure? Loose railings? Need to expand? We specialize in restoring and reworking existing decks to meet safety standards, aesthetic goals, and growing family needs — without starting from scratch.
Deck Staining & Finishing
Extend the life of your deck with professional staining, sealing, and finish work. We prep, sand, and coat your deck to protect against wear, water, and weather — and make it look brand new.
Our Residential Deck Services
- Custom Deck Design & Layout: Every deck we build starts with a carefully planned design tailored to your property’s layout, usage goals, and visual preferences. Whether you’re envisioning a simple platform or a multi-level masterpiece, we’ll create a blueprint that balances aesthetics with functionality.
- Wood & Composite Deck Installation: Choose from traditional pressure-treated lumber, beautiful cedar, or premium composite materials like Trex® and TimberTech®. We’ll help you understand the pros, cons, and long-term value of each option so you can make the right investment for your space.
- Rooftop & Elevated Decks: Building in NYC requires a special understanding of code, weight loads, and structural engineering. We specialize in constructing elevated and rooftop decks that meet DOB regulations while maximizing your outdoor square footage with safe, durable materials.
- Railings, Stairs & Safety Features: From classic wood railings to sleek aluminum and cable systems, we install code-compliant barriers that complement your deck design. All stairs and steps are custom-fitted for safe, stable access to every level.
- Permit Filing & NYC Compliance: Navigating NYC’s Department of Buildings requirements can be overwhelming. We handle all aspects of permitting, inspections, and code compliance, giving you peace of mind and keeping your project on schedule.
- Lighting, Seating & Add-Ons: Want to go beyond the basics? We offer integrated LED lighting, built-in benches, planters, privacy screens, and pergolas to elevate your deck’s usability and style—day or night.
Common Deck Problems We Fix
- Leaning or Unstable Framing: Over time, deck framing can weaken due to poor construction or wood rot, causing dangerous sway or sag. We reinforce or rebuild structural elements to restore stability and safety.
- Loose or Splintered Boards: Old or weather-exposed boards can become loose, cracked, or splintered—posing a safety hazard. We replace damaged planks and resurface your deck for a smooth, solid finish.
- Rotten Posts and Beams: Moisture intrusion often leads to rot in critical supports, especially at ground contact points. We inspect and replace rotted wood with pressure-treated lumber or composite upgrades.
- Mold, Mildew, and Water Damage: Shaded or poorly-drained decks often harbor algae, moss, or mildew buildup. Our restoration process includes deep cleaning, mold treatment, and sealant to prevent future growth.
- Outdated or Unsafe Railings: Loose, low, or non-code-compliant railings are a major liability. We install modern railing systems—wood, composite, aluminum, or cable—for both safety and curb appeal.
- Warping, Cupping, or Peeling Finishes: Sun and moisture exposure can warp boards or peel finishes. We refinish, seal, or replace boards as needed to restore durability and aesthetics.
