We are proud to serve most of New Jersey, with few exceptions, as the foremost Deck Builder and Deck Resurfacing Company in NJ. We bring experience, commitment and competitive pricing to the table from initial meeting until completion of our project. We love what we do and strive to bring our A-game to every project. You can rest assured that the Deck Guardian team will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life via excellent planning, budgeting and incomparable customer service.We do not provide staining and sealing services. Contact us for a Free Estimate today!

"The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that I only give 5 stars for perfection and flawless execution (which is a high standard I know and I don't give out many). There were a couple of issues that we did have (not having a dumpster on site from the beginning, leading to a pile of debris, still waiting on a final clean up for some concrete that got on our driveway) NONE of it realted to the deck itself however. If you are looking for a deck to be built, I encourage you to contact Deck Guardian (DG) for your decking needs. We used Deck Guardian (DG) for our recent deck construction. We were looking to do a large deck spanning 1/2 way around our 27 foot above ground pool. I got several companies to give me estimates. All of the companies "quotes" were merely a final number written on a piece of paper or a simple email. Not Deck Guardian! The estimate we got from DG was detailed and explained EXACTLY what we would be getting and how the cost was calculated. Head and shoulders above the rest. Were they the cheapest? No, but they weren't the most expensive either. When we decided to go with them, we were invited into the show room and were given many different options for our decking materials. All of the other guys offered 2 choices- wood decking or TREX. DG had an entire section of colors and styles of not only decking, but also railing and finishing touches (such as the option to have lights installed in the posts). DG then came out, and created an absolutely BEAUTIFUL deck for us! They even made sure that we passed all inspections (even fought it out for us when my town failed us on the final inspection (for some reasons the town made up)) and got us through everything. in all, we are EXTREMELY pleased with the entire process (Ion and Dave were our main points of contact and Marlin was our builder). The final product is AMAZING and we have gotten a TON of compliments! See pics below"

"After the toilet was changed on 9/1/23. The plumber refused to caulk the gap at the base of the new toilet. Gaudioso didn’t respond to my request to fix it. That left a gap and roaches were roaming out from that gap into my apartment for 11 days until I hired a handyman to caulk it. It costed me extra money and emotional distress"

"This review is long overdue! We had the pleasure of working with Robert on renovating our new house from top to bottom almost a year ago, and we are still thrilled with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has created a deep trust in Robert. He is top of our list and we have recommended him and his team to all our family and friends. We knew he would be a good fit from the initial consultation. Roberto managed everything with care and great attention to detail. Robert and his team executed our vision so well and everyone who has been over have showered us with compliments at how good everything looks. Throughout the renovation Roberto maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated at every stage. They were always punctual, courteous, and willing to answer any questions we had. His team was respectful of our home and ensured that the worksite was clean and organized at the end of each day. The quality of workmanship has proven to be outstanding and the custom work will last us for years to come. Another impressive aspect of working with Roberto and team was their ability to stay on schedule and within budget. They provided a clear timeline at the beginning of the project and adhered to it, completing the work on time without any unexpected costs. Even after the project was completed, Roberto continued to provide exceptional customer service and followed up to ensure we were satisfied with the work. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor. Our new house is beautiful and suits us perfectly thanks to Roberto and his team!"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Elmhurst, NY

When building a shed, you should hire a general contractor or a local shed-building specialist. The ideal professional will have experience constructing the type of shed you want and can provide a detailed estimate and timeline. Ensure they have proper licensing and insurance and can handle additional services like land clearing and material hauling.

The type of shed you need depends on your budget, intended use, and property specifics. If you want an affordable and quick solution, prefabricated sheds are cost-effective but offer limited customization. Custom-built sheds allow you to tailor features like wall height, square footage, workspace, and window placement to your exact needs. Consider materials, durability, and local zoning regulations when choosing between prefab and custom sheds to ensure the shed meets your requirements.

The average cost to build a barn varies widely based on size, style, and intended use. American barn-style sheds typically cost between $3,000 and $7,000, providing a rustic storage solution. Larger, commercial-style barns range from $25,000 to $80,000 and are suitable for housing livestock or large equipment. Depending on the barn's style, you can expect to pay $15 to $50 per square foot. Additional factors like materials, labor, and custom features like stalls or storage lofts will also influence the total cost.

Building a shed can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the type and complexity of the project. Prefabricated sheds can be assembled in 4 to 8 hours, providing a quick storage solution. On the other hand, custom-built sheds may take 2 to 5 days to construct on-site. Size, design features, and weather conditions can also affect the timeline.

Building a shed can enhance your property's functionality but may not significantly increase its market value. While a well-built shed provides extra storage or workspace that can appeal to potential buyers, it typically does not add to the home's appraised value. However, in areas with limited storage space, a high-quality shed might make your property more attractive on the market, potentially influencing buyer interest positively.
