Deck Styles We Build
No two yards are the same, and no two decks should be either. We build simple single level decks for homeowners who want a straightforward space to grill and relax, as well as multi level decks for properties with a slope or a walkout basement. If you want to sit above the yard without a full second story build, a raised deck gives you the view and the separation from ground level moisture and pests. For homeowners who want something simpler to install and easier to move down the road, a floating deck sits close to the ground and does not attach to your house, which also means fewer permit requirements in most townships.
We also build wraparound decks for homes that want outdoor space on more than one side, decks with built in seating or storage, and pergola ready structures if you want shade and definition without a full roof. Whether you are picturing a small platform off the back door or a full outdoor living space with a covered section, our Amish craftsmen will design it to match your home and your property.

At JJ Builders, we take pride in each of the custom decks that we build. We’ll design a deck or patio that’s unique to your home and your needs. Once you approve of the design, our deck builder will work to bring your vision to life.

Our Deck Design and Build Process
Building a deck involves more steps than most homeowners expect, so here is exactly how we handle it.
We start with a design consultation, either over the phone or in person, where we walk your property and talk through what you want the space to do for you. From there we help you choose a material, whether that is pressure treated wood, composite, or Azek, and put together a detailed quote so you know the full cost before anything is signed.
Most decks in Lancaster County require a township permit, especially if the deck is attached to your home or raised more than thirty inches off the ground. We handle the permit drawings and submissions ourselves, so you are not the one calling the township. Permit approval timelines vary by municipality and project complexity. We include the anticipated permitting schedule when planning your project.
Once permits are approved, Construction timelines depend on the size, design, weather, permitting, and material selection. Many standard decks can be completed within a few weeks once construction begins. Larger projects with multiple levels, a covered structure, or custom railings can take three to five weeks. We keep the site clean throughout construction and walk the finished deck with you before we consider the job done.
Your Satisfaction is Our Highest Priority
We know that every detail matters. From our high quality materials to our overbuilt structures, we are certain each of our clients will love the work we do. If for any reason you are not satisfied, let us know and we will do what it takes to make it right.
We are well-versed in many quality materials, including Azek, composite and pressure treated wood.

Frequently Asked Questions
Deck pricing depends on a few key factors, the material you choose, the size of the deck, and any custom features like multiple levels, built in seating, or a covered structure.
For a lot of homeowners, yes. Composite costs more upfront but does not need yearly staining or sealing the way pressure treated wood does, and it holds up well against Pennsylvania's freeze and thaw cycles. Pressure treated wood is still a solid choice if you want the lowest upfront cost and do not mind the maintenance.
In most cases, yes. Any deck attached to your home, or any deck raised more than thirty inches off the ground, needs a township permit. We handle the entire permit process for you, including the drawings and submissions, so you never have to deal with the township directly.
A standard deck takes about one to two weeks once construction starts. Larger projects, including multi level decks, covered structures, or custom railings, can take three to five weeks. Permit approval happens before that window starts and typically adds ten to fifteen business days.
Both. If your deck's frame and footings are still solid, we can often repair or resurface it instead of a full rebuild, which costs less. We will give you an honest assessment of whether a repair makes sense or if replacement is the better long term choice.
We serve homeowners within about 1.5 hours of Holtwood, PA, and we now work across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey.
PVC and high-quality composite decking typically offer the longest lifespan with minimal maintenance. The best option depends on your budget, appearance preferences, and how you plan to use the deck.
Yes. We design and build covered decks, pergola-ready structures, and outdoor living spaces that can be customized to complement your home and property.

JJ Builders did an excellent job expanding our pole barn. The quality of the work was excellent and they were great to work with.
The guys did a great job putting on new metal roof, repairing some of the rotten framing and having boards custom milled to match the half round "log siding" in a cabin my grandfather built on the side of a hill in 1963.
