Get matched with top deck and porch pros in Milltown, NJ

"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"

"Anthony is an amazing contractor who worked effectively and gave me an outstanding finished product. I would highly recommend him for any project."

"Johnny and Tim are the Best! I needed my deck repaired at the back of my house. I found Johnny via Angi.com and he promptly came by and quoted me for his work. I almost went with someone a lot cheaper, but Johnny was extremely knowledgeable and discussed things about the deck repair that the other contractor didn’t. I was impressed and I trusted that Johnny would do right by me. I told myself, you get what you pay for and I decided to go with Johnny… I’m glad I did! Johnny and Tim showed up onsite promptly and began working immediately. Everything that he said he would do he did (Deck Reinforcements and Paint). My deck looks beautiful again. My family and I thank you! It’s going to be a great Summer with entertaining/cookouts outdoors knowing that my kids can walk barefoot on the deck without any issue! "

" I was pleased with the work on my tall retaining wall. The stucco was in poor condition and needed replacement. First Choice removed the old stucco and repaired the wall with new mesh and stucco. They were thorough and worked hard to finish in a week. I got regular videos on the progress each day. The site was immaculate when they were done and my wall was beautiful again. "

"John and his team were amazing. Greatly satisfied with their work and customer service!"

"Friendly, honest and knowledgable. Recommend highly."

"This is an extremely consolidated version of the disaster we experienced with Father & Sons (Sam) due to character count limitations. We fired them after paying them because they were unable to complete the job, and what they did do was mostly wrong. They couldn?t finish the basement renovation, and it dragged out for over four months. They quoted 3 weeks + permitting time. They installed the wrong windows. Twice! They are not to code, and they never even finished installing them. We need to contract someone new to remove and replace the windows that they failed to install. Their electrical was non-functional, not to code, and a fire hazard, according to multiple other electricians who are cleaning up their fire hazards and code violations. F&S or their subcontractors stole tools from me. Their drywall work was absolutely atrocious, with cuts missed by several inches and multiple electrical outlets left with holes that outlet covers can?t hide. They?re a very small crew"

"The guys that came were great. We needed the stairs and a few things on the deck replaced. Everything was done in a few hours. I would definitely recommend this company. "
