Custom Deck Construction

True Contracting LLC builds custom decks in various materials and configurations:

Composite Decking

Composite decking has become the preferred choice for South Jersey homeowners due to its durability, low maintenance, and authentic wood appearance. We install premium composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, and other leading manufacturers. Composite decking resists fading, staining, scratching, and mold growth while never requiring staining or sealing. Available in dozens of colors and wood grain patterns, composite decking provides the beauty of wood without the maintenance headaches.

Pressure-Treated Wood Decks

Pressure-treated lumber remains a popular, cost-effective option for deck construction. Modern pressure-treated wood is treated to resist rot, insects, and decay, providing decades of service when properly maintained. We use premium-grade lumber and proper construction techniques to ensure your wood deck is structurally sound and beautiful. Regular staining and sealing keep wood decks looking great for years.

Cedar and Hardwood Decks

For natural beauty and premium quality, cedar and hardwood decking offer unmatched elegance. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects while providing warm, rich color and pleasant aroma. Exotic hardwoods like Ipe and Tigerwood offer exceptional durability and stunning appearance. While these materials require more investment, they provide distinctive beauty and long-term value.

Multi-Level and Custom Deck Designs

We design and build multi-level decks that accommodate sloped yards, create distinct outdoor zones, and add architectural interest. Our custom designs can include built-in seating, planters, pergolas, privacy screens, and lighting. We work with you to create a deck that perfectly suits your property, lifestyle, and budget.

Patio Construction Services

We build beautiful, durable patios using various materials:

Paver Patios

Paver patios offer endless design possibilities with various colors, patterns, and textures. We install concrete pavers, natural stone pavers, and permeable pavers that allow water drainage. Paver patios are extremely durable, easy to repair if damaged, and can be designed in countless patterns from simple running bond to intricate herringbone and circular designs. Proper base preparation ensures your paver patio remains level and beautiful for decades.

Natural Stone Patios

Natural stone patios provide timeless elegance and unique character. We work with flagstone, bluestone, slate, and other natural stones to create stunning outdoor spaces. Each stone's natural variations in color and texture create one-of-a-kind patios that complement any landscape. Natural stone is extremely durable and develops a beautiful patina over time.

Stamped Concrete Patios

Stamped concrete offers the look of stone, brick, or pavers at a more affordable price point. We create custom stamped concrete patios in various patterns and colors that mimic natural materials. Stamped concrete is durable, low-maintenance, and can be sealed to resist staining and weather damage.

Combination Outdoor Living Spaces

Many homeowners choose to combine decks and patios to create comprehensive outdoor living areas. We design and build integrated spaces that might include a raised deck connected to a ground-level patio, creating distinct zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining. These combination spaces maximize your outdoor living potential and add significant value to your property.

Our Construction Process

True Contracting LLC follows a comprehensive process for every deck and patio project:

1. Design Consultation

We begin with an on-site consultation to understand your vision, assess your property, and discuss design options. We consider your home's architecture, yard layout, sun exposure, and intended use to create a design that perfectly suits your needs. We provide 3D renderings and detailed plans so you can visualize your new outdoor space.

2. Permitting and Approvals

We handle all necessary permits and building department approvals. Our experience with local regulations in Haddon Township, Cherry Hill, and throughout South Jersey ensures smooth approval processes and compliance with all codes.

Paver patios cost $15-$30 per square foot depending on paver type and pattern complexity. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs.

Do I need a permit for a deck or patio in Haddon Township?
Decks typically require building permits in Haddon Township and throughout South Jersey, especially if they're elevated or attached to your home. Ground-level patios may not require permits depending on size and location. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
What's better: composite or wood decking?
Composite decking offers superior durability and virtually no maintenance, making it ideal for busy homeowners. Wood decking costs less initially but requires regular staining and sealing. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals.
How long will my deck or patio last?
Composite decks typically last 25-30+ years with minimal maintenance. Properly maintained wood decks last 15-20 years. Paver and natural stone patios can last 50+ years with proper installation and occasional maintenance. We build all structures to maximize longevity and performance.
Can you build a deck or patio on a sloped yard?
Yes, we regularly build decks and patios on sloped properties. Multi-level decks work well on slopes, creating distinct outdoor zones while accommodating grade changes. For patios, we can grade and create level areas or build retaining walls to create usable flat spaces. We'll assess your property and recommend the best approach.
What maintenance do decks and patios require?
Composite decks require only occasional cleaning with soap and water. Wood decks need annual cleaning and staining/sealing every 2-3 years. Paver and stone patios need occasional cleaning and may require re-sanding joints every few years. We provide detailed maintenance instructions for your specific materials.
Can you add features like pergolas or outdoor kitchens?
We design and build complete outdoor living spaces including pergolas, shade structures, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, built-in seating, and lighting. We can incorporate these features into your initial design or add them to existing decks and patios. Let's discuss your vision for the ultimate outdoor space.
