Trex Deck Builder in South Jersey
Custom Trex composite decks with RDI railings, skirting, lighting, and pergolas — designed and built by a third-generation Mullica Hill contractor serving Gloucester County, Woolwich, and all of South Jersey since 1983.
What We Build
Every deck is a complete outdoor living project — decking, railings, skirting, lighting, shade, and the patio below it, all from one crew.
New Trex Composite Decks
Custom decks in every current Trex line — Transcend Lineage, Transcend, Select, Enhance Naturals, and Enhance Basics. No staining, no sealing, no splinters, backed by Trex's 25- to 50-year fade & stain warranty.
Deck Replacement & Removal
We demo and haul away failing wood decks and rebuild in Trex on properly engineered framing. Permits, footing inspections, and code compliance handled start to finish.
RDI Railings
Vinyl, composite, aluminum, cable rail, and steel railing systems from RDI — Endurance, Finyl Line, Transform, Avalon, Elevation, and MetalWorks Excalibur. Code-compliant and anchored into the framing.
Skirting & Ground Finish
Finish the underside of your deck with classic lattice, premium AZEK/PVC board, or horizontal composite skirting that matches your deck color — clean, critter-resistant, and rot-proof.
Deck Lighting
Recessed stair riser lights, glowing post caps, and under-rail LEDs wired during construction so everything is concealed. Your deck stays usable — and safe — long after sunset.
Pergolas Over Decks
Cedar pergolas, steel louvered systems, and motorized aluminum FlexPatio covers with adjustable shade — engineered into the deck structure, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Deck + Patio Combinations
Step off your deck onto a stamped concrete or paver patio with a fire pit, seating wall, or outdoor kitchen. We're concrete contractors first — the ground level is where we started.
Multi-Level & Custom Decks
Second-story decks, walk-out basement decks, wrap-arounds, and multi-level platforms with integrated stairs and landings — designed for your grade and how you actually use the yard.
Which Trex Decking Is Right for Your Home?
We install the full current Trex lineup. All lines are made from 95% recycled materials and never need staining, sealing, or sanding — the differences are color depth, grain texture, heat performance, and warranty length. We bring real board samples to every consultation.
Trex Transcend Lineage
Trex's flagship line with SunComfortable™ heat-mitigating technology — boards stay noticeably cooler underfoot, a real advantage on full-sun South Jersey decks. Refined coastal colors including Biscayne, Trex's 2026 Color of the Year.
Trex Transcend
Deep wood-grain texture and rich, multi-tonal tropical colors like Spiced Rum, Havana Gold, and Island Mist. The line most of our South Jersey customers choose — premium looks with legendary durability.
Trex Select
The smart mid-range — curated colors like Pebble Grey, Whiskey Barrel, and Millstone with SunComfortable™ technology and a natural wood-like grain at a friendlier price point.
Trex Enhance Naturals & Enhance Basics
The smart step up from pressure-treated lumber. Enhance Naturals offers rustic multi-tonal grain in colors like Foggy Wharf and Toasted Sand; Enhance Basics delivers clean solid tones priced against wood — without wood's maintenance.

Why South Jersey Homeowners Choose Us to Build Their Deck
The Deck AND the Patio, One Crew
Deck-only companies stop at the bottom stair. We're concrete and hardscaping contractors first — so your deck can flow into a stamped concrete or paver patio, a fire pit, a walkway, and landscape lighting in one coordinated build. One contractor, one schedule, one warranty conversation.
Footings Done Right
A deck is only as good as what it stands on, and footings are literally what we do for a living. Proper depth below the frost line, correct diameter for the load, inspected and approved — engineered for South Jersey's freeze-thaw cycles and sandy-to-clay soil transitions across Gloucester County.
43+ Years Building in South Jersey
Third-generation, based in Mullica Hill. We know the permitting offices, inspection requirements, and setback rules in Harrison Township, Woolwich, Washington Township, and every town we build in — because we've been pulling permits here since 1983.
Every Trex Line, Real Samples
We're not locked into one product tier. From budget-friendly Enhance Basics to heat-mitigating Transcend Lineage, we install the full Trex lineup and bring physical board samples to your consultation so you can see real colors at your home — not on a screen.
Honest Pricing, No Surprises
You get a detailed, written scope with firm pricing before we start — decking line, railing style, skirting, lighting, every line item spelled out. Our online builder even gives you an itemized ballpark before we ever visit. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
Licensed, Insured & Code-Compliant
NJ decks require construction permits, footing inspections, framing inspections, and final approval. We handle all of it. NJ License #13VH00144300. Full liability and workers' comp coverage on every job.
Our Deck Building Process
Every deck follows a proven process refined over 43+ years and 2,167+ completed projects.
Free On-Site Design Consultation
We visit your property, measure the space, check the grade and door heights, and talk through how you'll use the deck — dining, grilling, hot tub, pool access. You'll get an honest read on size, height, layout, and budget. No pressure, no obligation.
Decking, Railing & Feature Selection
Pick your Trex line and color from real board samples, choose your RDI railing style, skirting finish, lighting, and any pergola or patio extension. Try our interactive deck designer before we even meet — your saved design gives us a head start.
Permits & Engineering
We prepare drawings, submit the construction permit application to your township, and schedule the required inspections. Deck framing is engineered for your soil, height, and load — including hot tub reinforcement when needed.
Demo, Footings & Framing
Old deck removal if needed, then footings poured below the frost line and inspected. Pressure-treated framing goes up square, level, and properly flashed at the ledger — the step where bad decks are born and where we don't cut corners.
Decking, Railings & Skirting
Trex boards installed with hidden fasteners and picture-frame borders, RDI railings anchored into the framing, stairs built to code, and skirting finished to the ground. Lighting wire runs are concealed as we build.
Final Inspection & Walk-Through
Township final inspection, lighting aimed and tested, site cleaned completely, and a full walk-through with you. We don't consider the job done until you've checked every board, rail, and light.
Trex Decks, Railings & Outdoor Living
The materials we install — Trex decking lines and RDI railing systems — plus the patios, lighting, and pergolas that complete the space.

Trex Deck Building FAQ
A professionally built Trex composite deck in South Jersey typically costs $40 to $85 per square foot installed, including framing. Most complete projects with railings land between $12,000 and $30,000. Enhance Basics is the most affordable line, Select and Enhance Naturals are the mid-range, and Transcend and Transcend Lineage are the premium tiers. Deck height, stairs, railing choice, and skirting all affect the final price. We provide free on-site estimates with exact pricing for your layout.
For most South Jersey homeowners, yes. Trex costs roughly 30–50% more upfront than pressure-treated lumber, but it never needs staining, sealing, sanding, or board replacement. Over a 10-year period, the maintenance savings typically close most of the price gap — and Trex boards are covered by a 25- to 50-year manufacturer fade and stain warranty depending on the line. Wood decks in our freeze-thaw climate typically need restaining every 2–3 years and start showing rot and splintering within 10–15 years.
Yes. In New Jersey, new decks and structural deck replacements require a construction permit, and the finished deck must pass footing, framing, and final inspections. Setback requirements from property lines vary by municipality across Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties. We handle the permit application, drawings, and inspection scheduling as part of every deck build.
Once permits are approved, most single-level Trex decks take 1 to 2 weeks to build. Larger multi-level decks with railings, skirting, lighting, and a pergola typically take 2 to 3 weeks. Permit approval timelines vary by town and can add 2 to 4 weeks before construction starts. We provide a detailed schedule during your design consultation.
Yes — deck replacement is one of our most common projects. We demo and haul away the old deck, assess whether existing footings meet current code, and build the new Trex deck on a properly engineered frame. Old deck removal typically runs $5 to $8 per square foot. In most cases we recommend new framing so the structure under your 25-to-50-year decking isn't 20-year-old lumber.
Trex Transcend is our most popular line — deep wood-grain texture, rich multi-tonal colors, and a 50-year fade and stain warranty. Transcend Lineage adds SunComfortable™ heat-mitigating technology that keeps boards noticeably cooler underfoot, which matters for full-sun South Jersey backyards. Trex Select is the best value in the mid-range, and Enhance Basics is the smart pick when budget is the priority. We bring real board samples to every consultation.
We install RDI railing systems — vinyl (Endurance and Finyl Line), composite (Transform), aluminum (Avalon), cable rail (Elevation), and steel (MetalWorks Excalibur). Railing pricing runs roughly $60 to $150 per linear foot installed depending on the line. All railings are code-compliant and anchored into the deck framing, not just the decking surface.
Yes — this is our biggest advantage over deck-only companies. Because we're concrete and hardscaping contractors first, we build stamped concrete or paver patios that flow directly from your deck stairs, under-deck patio areas, walkways, fire pits, and landscape lighting — all in one project with one crew. You get the deck and the ground-level living space without coordinating two contractors.
Trex Deck Building in South Jersey, In Detail
Patrick Breen Masonry & Concrete has been building outdoor living spaces in South Jersey since 1983 — and composite decks are the natural extension of that work. Based in Mullica Hill in the heart of Gloucester County, we design and build Trex composite decks for homeowners across Woolwich Township, Swedesboro, Washington Township, Sewell, and the surrounding towns — including the newer developments where builder-grade wood decks are already showing their age.
What makes us different from a typical deck company is what happens below and around the deck. We pour the footings ourselves, we understand grade and drainage because we move earth for a living, and we can build the stamped concrete or paver patio your deck steps down onto — plus the fire pit, seating wall, walkway, and lighting that turn a deck into a complete backyard. One contractor, one crew, one project.
Trex Composite Deck Installation
We install every current Trex decking line: Transcend Lineage with SunComfortable™ heat-mitigating technology, Transcend Tropicals, Select, Enhance Naturals, and Enhance Basics. Every deck is built on code-compliant footings poured below the frost line, pressure-treated framing with proper ledger flashing, hidden fasteners, and picture-frame borders. Trex boards carry the manufacturer's 25- to 50-year fade and stain warranty depending on the line, and our installation labor carries our 1-year workmanship warranty.
Old Deck Removal & Replacement
Rotting boards, wobbly railings, popped nails — South Jersey's freeze-thaw winters are hard on wood decks. We demolish and haul away failing decks, evaluate the existing footings against current code, and rebuild in Trex on properly engineered framing. Most 15-to-20-year-old wood decks in Gloucester County developments are candidates for replacement rather than repair, and the jump to composite means never restaining again.
RDI Railing Systems
Railings make or break how a deck looks and feels. We install the full RDI lineup: Endurance and Finyl Line vinyl for classic low-maintenance white railings, Transform composite for a premium milled-wood look, Avalon powder-coated aluminum for modern open views, Elevation cable rail for nearly invisible infill, and MetalWorks Excalibur steel for a strong contemporary profile. Every railing is anchored into the deck framing and built to code height and baluster spacing.
Skirting, Fascia & Ground Finish
The space between the deck and the ground is where most decks look unfinished. We close it in with classic vinyl lattice, premium AZEK/PVC board skirting that never rots, or horizontal composite skirting that matches your deck color. Skirting keeps animals out, hides the framing, and gives the deck a built-in, architectural look from the yard.
Deck Lighting & Pergolas
Low-voltage LED riser lights in the stairs, glowing post caps on the railings, and under-rail accent lighting — all wired during construction so nothing is stapled on afterward. Overhead, we install cedar pergolas, steel louvered systems, and motorized aluminum FlexPatio covers with adjustable louvers, engineered into the deck structure for shade exactly where you want it.
Deck & Patio Combinations
Our signature project: a Trex deck that steps down onto a stamped concrete or paver patio with a fire pit, seating wall, or outdoor kitchen — designed as one continuous space. Because we self-perform the concrete, masonry, and hardscaping, the transition between deck and patio is planned from day one: elevations line up, drainage flows away from the house, and the lighting runs on one system.
