Decks & screened porches in Mullica Township.
Decks in Mullica Township are typically larger than shore-town decks because the lots are larger — wraparound decks on ranch homes, multi-level decks stepping down to backyard fire pits, screened porches off rear walls. Pinelands rules don't usually constrain residential decks within existing buildable areas, but we check on properties with environmentally sensitive characteristics. Two to four weeks for typical builds.
Mullica Township is about 22 minutes from our Mays Landing shop. Pine Barrens: Elwood, Nesco, Sweetwater, Wescoatville. Older farmhouses on large rural lots, well-and-septic single-family homes, scattered cabin and rural construction. Township ZIPs covered: 08037, 08215, 08217. Free walkthroughs same-week, written estimates the next business day.
What we build outside
A deck near the shore needs to handle wind, salt air, and humidity. We build them so they last 25 years, not 8.
- 01
Composite decks
Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon. Hidden fasteners, picture-frame borders, properly ventilated framing.
- 02
Wood decks
Mahogany, ipe, cedar, pressure-treated. Stainless fasteners on hardwood, proper end-sealing.
- 03
Screened porches
Real roofs, real headers, real screen. Insect screen or fine-mesh for biting flies — your call.
- 04
Second-story decks
Tied into the house with code-correct ledger flashing. We don't skip steps that hide behind siding.
- 05
Pergolas & shade structures
Cedar or composite-wrapped. Anchored to footings, not just bolted to a deck.
- 06
Stairs & railings
Code-compliant rise, run, and baluster spacing. Cable, glass, or balusters — we install them right.
From the first call to the punch list.
Every project goes through these four phases. We don't skip steps.

Decks & screened porches in Mullica Township — questions we hear.
-
Mullica Township is mostly rural — does that change how you handle a remodel?
A few practical differences. Most homes are on well water and septic systems, which we factor into bathroom and kitchen remodels (we don't install fixtures that overload a septic system designed for less flow, and we coordinate any septic work with a separately licensed septic contractor). Pinelands zoning applies on many properties and constrains exterior work and additions; we check before we draw. Walkthrough same-week, twenty-two minutes from our shop.
-
Composite or wood — what do you recommend?
For most shore homes, composite. Lower maintenance, salt-air resistant, and the warranties are real. Mahogany or ipe if you love the look of real wood and don't mind oiling it.
-
Do I need a permit for a deck?
In NJ, yes — anything attached to the house or over 30" off the ground needs a permit. We pull it; you don't have to think about it.
-
How long will my deck last?
A properly framed and flashed deck with composite decking should last 25+ years. The framing is what fails first; we use galvanized hardware and stainless fasteners on hardwood.
-
Can you build over an existing concrete patio?
Sometimes — depends on the slab condition and elevation. We'll tell you straight at the walkthrough whether it's smart or whether you'd be better off starting fresh.
