Materials & Options
| Material | Pros | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Composite / Capped-Composite | Low maintenance, colorfast cap, splinter-free, hidden fasteners, strong warranties. | Higher upfront cost; observe joist spacing/ventilation. |
| PVC | Very lightweight, excellent moisture resistance, cool-touch colors available. | Premium pricing; expansion/contraction detailing matters. |
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Budget-friendly, classic look, easy to modify. | Routine cleaning + stain/seal; can crack/warp over time. |

Deck FAQ
Do you work on residential homes only?
Yes — Terra Nova serves New Jersey residential properties only. No commercial builds.
Can you resurface my old deck instead of rebuilding?
If the framing is solid and code-compliant, yes. We replace boards/rails with composite or PVC and refresh stairs/rails as needed.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?
Yes. We prepare drawings and handle local permits and HOA submittals as required.
Which material is best — composite, PVC, or wood?
Composite/PVC offer low maintenance and stable color; wood is more budget-friendly but needs regular care. We’ll show samples and pricing for each.
How long does a typical deck project take?
Most builds finish in several days to a couple of weeks depending on size, details, and inspections.
Do members get discounts on deck projects?
Yes — members receive priority and savings. See our Protection Plan.
