Decks & Outdoor Living
Westchester NY
You’ll Live On.
Westchester summers deserve a backyard worth spending them in. J&J Remodeling designs and builds decks, patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens that turn your backyard into the room your family actually uses most.
Your Backyard Should
Work as Hard as You Do
A backyard with no real place to sit, cook, or gather gets used a handful of times a summer, if that. A well-designed deck or patio turns that same backyard into the space your family actually spends time in, from weeknight dinners outside to hosting the whole extended family.
J&J Remodeling designs and builds decks, patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens for homeowners throughout Westchester County. We handle the structural engineering, permitting, and finish work so you get an outdoor space that is both beautiful and built to code.
We work on properties throughout Westchester County, Scarsdale, Rye, Larchmont, and the surrounding towns, including sloped lots and older homes where a straightforward deck build is not always so straightforward.
“A great outdoor space does not just add value to your home. It changes how your family spends the summer.”

Built to Handle
Every Westchester Season
A deck has to survive freezing winters, humid summers, and everything in between, year after year. Footings that are not dug below the frost line heave and crack. Ledger boards attached without proper flashing let water into your house. These are the details that decide whether a deck lasts ten years or thirty.
J&J Remodeling builds every deck with footings set below the frost line, properly flashed ledger connections, and code-compliant railings and stair framing. We handle the permit process directly with your municipality so the structural inspection is never a surprise.
Footings Below the Frost Line
Every footing is dug to proper depth so freeze-thaw cycles do not heave or shift your deck over time.
Properly Flashed Ledger Boards
Correct flashing where a deck attaches to your house prevents water intrusion, one of the most common deck failures.
Code-Compliant Railings & Stairs
Railing height, baluster spacing, and stair rise and run are all built to current code, not guessed at.
Full Permit Handling
We manage the entire permit and inspection process with your local municipality from start to finish.

How much does it cost to build a deck in Westchester NY?
Deck construction typically costs $35 to $55 per square foot for pressure-treated wood and $55 to $85 per square foot for composite decking, installed. A standard 300 to 400 square foot deck often ranges from $15,000 to $30,000 depending on materials and railing style. Elevated or multi-level decks add to the cost. We provide a free written estimate after visiting your property.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Westchester County?
Yes, in nearly every Westchester municipality a permit is required for any deck attached to your home or elevated above roughly 30 inches. Permits ensure the structure meets load and railing safety codes. J&J Remodeling handles all permit applications and inspections directly with your local building department.
Composite decking or wood, which is better?
Wood costs less upfront but requires regular staining and sealing. Composite costs more initially but requires virtually no maintenance and typically lasts 25 to 30 years without fading or warping. For homeowners who want to spend weekends enjoying the deck instead of maintaining it, composite is usually the better long-term value.
How long does it take to build a deck?
A standard deck typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from permit approval to completion. Larger or multi-level decks with pergolas or outdoor kitchens can take 5 to 8 weeks. Weather and municipal permit processing times can affect the overall schedule.
Can you build an outdoor kitchen into my deck or patio?
Yes. We design outdoor kitchens with proper gas or electrical hookups, weather-resistant cabinetry, and counter space built directly into your deck or patio design. We plan utility runs early so everything is integrated cleanly.
Is J&J Remodeling licensed for deck construction in New York?
Yes. J&J Remodeling is fully licensed and insured in New York State. Every deck and outdoor living project in Westchester County is backed by general liability insurance, and we handle all required permits and inspections.

“J&J built us a deck with a full outdoor kitchen and pergola. The design work was thoughtful and the finished space looks like it belongs in a magazine. We host every weekend now.”
