What started with a pickup truck and a helper has grown to be the most reputable and largest installer of decking products on Long Island. Company milestones include being published in the do it yourself line from Sunset Books “The Complete Deck Book,” and being dubbed “Long Island’s King of Decks” in Deck Contractor Magazine. The TREX® Company named Long Island Decking the areas largest TREX® composite decking installer. We are also proud members of the Better Business Bureau and the North American Deck and Railing Association. Please call ahead for your Free Design Consultation with the owner Jay.

Jay and his team are true professionals. They completed the work in a timely and workmanlike manner and at a very fair price (we know that since we had gotten a total of 3 estimates).

This was a large project involving demolition and rebuilding a 600 square foot deck with multiple stairs and integral stair and rail lighting. The sturdiness of the foundation was impressive. Jose and his crew’s attention to detail was amazing. They were a pleasure to work with, offering helpful suggestions along the way. Overall, we’re very please with the end result.

Great. I found Jay of Long Island Decking online and am so glad I did. Jay was responsive, efficient and thorough. Very detailed with the planning and render so we knew exactly what we were getting in advance. Somehow it came out even better than advertised. We love our Trex Transcend Deck and highly recommend LID to anyone looking for a deck that will blow you away.

Fabulous!!!! His crew came every day until the project was done. They were neat, and cleaned the area daily. Jay came every day to check on it, and make sure we were happy. It is absolutely gorgeous!!! Matches my house, and we added extra lighting - Jay made sure this deck would look fantastic when done.

Jay was the lead project manager/owner for my deck and patio expansion. His expertise and knowledge as a custom deck builder added tremendous value when it came to design, color and building material. All the crew members were very helpful and a pleasure to work with, especially when it came to accommodating my schedule. It made a difficult process feel more seamless.  
Thanks for the preliminary work and ability to hit the ground running. You made it possible to complete the project in four days. 
 We love our new backyard!

Although the start of the job was a number of weeks later than agreed upon, the job was terrific and we were very satisfied. We would definitely use Long Island decking again.
Response from LONG ISLAND DECKING

"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your honest and accurate review. We only wish we had more control over mother nature this past spring. She was a wet one and we lost a lot of time to rain. From all the staff at Long Island Decking we wish you many years of enjoyment on your new deck and patio. Jay"

Our experience with LI Decking was amazing. From start to finish...Jay and his team made our deck dream into a reality. Look no further, Jay's planning and design coupled with Jose's eye for perfection during the reface made me confident that we made the right choice!

I need to start out by saying I have no affiliation or ties to LI Decking. Jay (owner of LI Decking) was a complete stranger to my family and I when I found him via Google during my search for a deck builder. However, now that our deck is complete, I consider Jay a friend. I chuckled when I saw his business card on our counter the other day, it says “Consult – Design – Install”. Notice two-thirds of the “process” on his card acknowledge that there is so much more to a customer’s experience, than just the end-product (deck) they receive from him. He truly delivered on all fronts. After being burned during our kitchen renovation last August by a local contractor (I wish I had the time to delve into that one), let’s just say my wife and I were a bit hesitant to trust someone to tear down an old rotted wood deck we inherited on our new home and install a new Trex deck. We’re not the Jones’s, just a hard working middle-class couple who want something nice to entertain on. Price point was huge to us (we’re as frugal as they come), but sometimes it’s the trust factor that wins you over. Jay earned our trust from the moment he stepped in our door. He’s a straight forward, honest guy, who delivered on every single item he outlined to us. You could tell he was probably busier than the other half dozen decking companies we had over for estimates, because he didn’t make promises that seemed too good to be true to win over our business. Jay under promised and over delivered big time. He gave us reasonable timelines, real practical advice for designing our deck (with a very nice 3D rendering which helped my wife visualize everything) and was honestly a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. In 3 consecutive days, his team demo’d our old deck/poured concrete posts, framed and built the new deck, then completed our grand stairwell that is well over 9 ft long and is the perfect complement to our 8’x7’ custom Andersen slider. His team cleaned up every last nail/minuscule scrap of wood from both the old and new decks. My wife and I have two boys under 3 years old, with a birthday party for well over 20 kids planned within 24 hours of the deck being completed. Needless to say we were a bit worried that there would be nails or small sharp pieces of wood stuck in the grass. I fine combed our entire yard and found not one scrap in it after Jay’s team was done. I told my wife I was shocked that they would take the time out to really clean up that well. Again, going above and beyond expectations. I am the type of person that researches and reads reviews online for everything before purchasing. If you are the same as me and are jaded against the stereotypical contractor/home improvement company; set those worries aside and understand that the genuine person you see when you meet Jay, is not just a façade that vanishes once he has your deposit. He is that same person even after that final payment is placed in his palm. That is the reason I call Jay a friend. He is a good man, works hard, and delivers quality work while making you feel like you’re his best friend he’s helping build a deck for. If the world were filled with Jay’s, consumers like us would be all the better. Unfortunately, the world isn’t. So be sure to trust your gut and all the reviews you read online. Big pat on the back to you and your entire team Jay (Jose the foreman and any others that were involved in our job).

I found the website for Long Island Decking while searching for a decking contractor and called for an appointment. From the first meeting with the owner Jay to discuss replacing an existing deck and adding a staircase, I had complete confidence in moving forward to contract to do the job. Jay listens to your needs, assesses your space, and works with you to create the perfect deck design. He conducts himself professionally, responds to calls, text, and emails quickly. He is detail oriented and makes you feel like your job is his one and only priority. Jose and the work team were a pleasure to deal with. They arrived at the scheduled time on work days and began work promptly, worked clean and efficiently. Our new deck is beautiful! It turned out better than we could have even imagined. The product quality and workmanship are impeccable. We could not have asked for a better experience. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Long Island Decking.

"Thank you both for so much for taking the time to share your experience. My staff works very hard to provide exactly that level of service. We hope you enjoy your new deck and look forward to planning the rest of the yard together."

Long Island Decking did an amazing job! The deck is basically an extension of the house, since it is level with the back doors, so its added another "room" for us to spend time in. Looking forward to making lots of lasting memories in our new space! The crew was professional and so fast. The entire project was done in a week. Would definitely recommend this company.

LI Decking did an amazing job on our backyard. The job was completed on time and within our budget. Jay did a great job with the design and we highly recommend LI Decking.

It went great.  They did the job quickly, in about one week.  They removed everything without disrupting any of my property.  They gave us many choices for the new deck and whatever they said it would look like, it did end up looking like that.

We got 4 estimates for our deck & Long Island Decking came in right about mid range.  We had 2 estimates lower & 1 higher but went with them because we liked them the best.  We had a little bit of a scheduling issue, but Jay & Kim worked right there with us on everything.  We also, due to other issues, had to re-do the size of the deck as originally planned from a 16x20 to a 12x12 and Jay was very understanding & spent as much time with us as we needed.  They broke down the old deck, had the inspector there 2 hrs later, & by the time I got home from work the entire deck except for the railings & the LED lights was done! Couldn't believe how fast they worked!  Were they a bit pricier than others? Yes, but we have no regrets at all! We'd most definitely recommend them (& have already done so to 2 others people) and would absolutely use them again.  Thanks so much Jay & Kim!

The masonry & decking groups were always punctual, polite and skilled. Each day of deck installation we received a call from the owner telling us what would be done the next day and when they would arrive. He was well informed on municipality mandated inspections.

They were horrible on the estimate. I got them from Angie’s List. It took them three weeks to get back to me and then they were twice as expensive as everybody else was. The sales personnel didn’t give me a quote. He came out to look at it. A few days later, I got an email from their office saying that from this point forward the estimate will be turned over to Jay, the owner. Two and a half weeks past, I had turned my head and already contracted with somebody else. Then they happened to call me and as I said, he was twice as expensive as everybody else was. The person who came to look at the deck, he was punctual but it fell apart from there.
Response from LONG ISLAND DECKING

"Hey [member name removed], I'm sorry we did not meet your expectations and were unable to work together. I did reach out to you by phone on on 6/30 as per our notes from our 6/23 initial meeting. You were our last appointment before Memorial Day Weekend so it took a few days longer than normal due to the holiday. The time I did reach you was our second attempt. I understand your frustration if you didn't receive the first message. That few weeks is extremely busy for us and we do our best to get to everyone in a timely manner. Again my apologies."

The contractor left a message, I tried to reach him, leaving a message, but we never connected.
I plan to follow up with the company, and may pay a visit to their showroom.
