Elevated Outdoor Living

Three Premium Deck Options for New Jersey Families

Ember & Stone installs three distinct deck styles: Composite, Treated Lumber, and Cedar—each offering unique benefits for different family needs and budgets.

Composite decking has become increasingly popular with our clients, particularly premium lines like Fiberon Good Life materials paired with Deck Pro aluminum railing systems. These materials offer superior durability with minimal maintenance requirements—perfect for busy families who want to enjoy their outdoor space rather than constantly maintain it.

We rarely install decks as standalone projects. Instead, we integrate them into comprehensive outdoor living environments that might include patios, covered structures, or outdoor kitchens. This approach ensures your deck functions as part of a cohesive family gathering space rather than an isolated element.

Most deck projects—approximately 95%—begin with the same systematic approach we use for covered structures and pools: design development, permitting, engineering review, and professional installation with comprehensive inspections.

Engineering Excellence in Every Installation

Our deck construction standards exceed typical contractor practices because we approach each project with luxury home building principles.

We've encountered concerning construction practices from other contractors—undersized stringers, inadequate post specifications, excessive span distances, and insufficient structural support. These shortcuts often result from contractors who skip permit processes or avoid professional inspections.

Ember & Stone "over-engineers" every deck installation to ensure exceptional durability and safety. We use 6X6 posts, 2X10 joists, and never exceed safe span distances. Composite installations receive 12-inch spinner foundations as standard practice, providing the structural integrity these premium materials require.

Our Class C contractor license ensures every deck meets or exceeds building codes while delivering the long-term performance your family deserves.
