Why Build a Deck in the Bronx?
Your Backyard Is Sitting There, Doing Nothing
Let’s be honest — most backyards in the Bronx are underused. An unfinished yard, a cracked concrete slab, or an old wooden platform that’s seen better days. Meanwhile, your neighbors just finished a gorgeous composite deck and they’re out there every weekend.
Here’s what a professionally built deck actually gives you: usable square footage that doesn’t count toward your property taxes, a genuine outdoor living space for entertaining and relaxing, and a real bump in your home’s resale value. According to the 2024 Cost vs. Value Report by Zonda and Remodeling Magazine, a new wood deck returns approximately 83% of its cost at resale — making it one of the highest-performing home improvements you can make.
The Bronx climate also matters. Our winters are harsh. The freeze-thaw cycles that roll through every December through March are brutal on untreated outdoor surfaces. That’s why the materials you choose and the contractor who installs them makes all the difference between a deck that lasts 30 years and one that starts falling apart in five.
Best Construction Choice Inc has been building decks in the Bronx since 2009. We know this borough, we know these winters, and we know what it takes to build an outdoor space that holds up – year after year.
Why Build a Deck in the Bronx?
Every Kind of Deck, Built for the Bronx
Not all decks are created equal – and the right choice depends on your yard, your budget, your lifestyle, and how much maintenance you’re willing to do. Here’s an honest breakdown of every option.
Comprehensive Deck Builder Solutions
Pressure-Treated Wood Deck
Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable and widely used wood decking in the Bronx. It's chemically treated to resist rot, mold, and insect damage - a real advantage in our climate. According to local pricing data for the New York City market, pressure-treated pine decking costs $31 to $37 per square foot installed in our area.
- Lowest upfront cost of any deck material
- Readily available — faster project timelines
- Resistant to insects and rot when properly maintained
- ~83% ROI at resale (2024 Cost vs. Value Report)
Composite Deck
Composite decking is made from recycled plastic and wood fibers. In our cold northeastern climate, composite boards do not shrink or expand the way natural wood does during freeze-thaw cycles — minimizing cracking, warping, and long-term repair costs. It requires no sanding, staining, or sealing. A simple soap-and-water wash each spring is usually all it needs.
- No annual staining or sealing required
- Resists moisture, rot, insects, and UV fading
- Lasts up to 50 years (vs. 10–30 for wood)
- Eco-friendly - made with recycled materials
Trex® Composite Deck
Trex is the industry leader in composite decking - the brand that invented the category. Trex decks cost $45 to $70 per square foot installed according to HomeGuide's 2026 national data. Most Trex products come backed by a 20 to 25-year warranty, and the brand is made from 95% recycled materials. We are Trex installers and know their product lines inside and out.
- 20–25 year manufacturer warranty
- Fade-resistant, stain-resistant, splinter-free
- Available in dozens of colors and finishes
- Long-term low-maintenance savings are significant
Cedar Deck
Cedar is a naturally beautiful wood that resists bugs, moisture, and UV rays without chemical treatment. It's softer than hardwoods but looks stunning when maintained properly. Cedar decking costs $52 to $59 per square foot installed in New York City according to local pricing data a mid-tier option for homeowners who love the look of real wood.
- Naturally insect and moisture resistant
- Beautiful grain that ages gracefully
- No chemical treatment needed
- Takes stain and sealant extremely well
Floating / Freestanding Deck
Floating decks don't attach to your house - they sit independently on post supports. They're perfect for backyards, garden areas, and sloped lots where an attached deck isn't practical. Because they're not connected to your home's structure, they often require fewer permits. Floating decks typically cost $20 to $60 per square foot according to Angi.
- No attachment to your home's structure
- Ideal for uneven yards and garden settings
- Simpler permitting in many cases
- Can be placed anywhere on your property
Multi-Level & Wraparound Decks
For larger properties or homes with walk-out basements, a multi-level or wraparound deck maximizes every square foot of usable space. These designs are more complex they involve more framing, stairs, railings, and structural work but the result is a genuinely impressive outdoor living space that dramatically increases curb appeal and property value.
- Maximizes space on larger or sloped lots
- Creates distinct zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining
- Simpler permitting in many cases
- Adds major curb appeal and resale value
- Custom-designed to your home's architecture

- How We Work
From First Call to Final Finish - Our 5-Step Process
We believe in no surprises. Here’s exactly what happens from the moment you call us to the day you walk out onto your finished deck for the first time.
Free On-Site Consultation
We come to your home, walk your yard or outdoor space, and listen. What do you want to use the deck for? What's your budget? What materials appeal to you? We take measurements, note any site challenges (slopes, access, setback requirements), and ask the right questions so our estimate is accurate — not a ballpark.
Design & Planning
Based on your input, we put together a deck design that fits your space, your style, and your budget. We'll go over material options, layout ideas, railing choices, and stair configurations. We explain the differences between materials clearly — so you can make a confident, informed decision without feeling pressured.
Permitting & NYC DOB Filing
In New York City, most deck builds require a DOB permit. Contractors must hold a valid General Contractor License and a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license for residential projects, and all inspections must be scheduled through DOB NOW. NYC permit costs run $0.25 per square foot for projects under $100,000 - typically $475 to $6,000. We handle the entire filing process for you. No paperwork headaches.
Expert Construction
Our crew shows up on time and gets to work. We build from the ground up - digging footings, setting posts, framing the substructure, then installing your chosen decking material. Every board, fastener, and railing is installed to code. We don't cut corners on the parts you can't see — because that's exactly where decks fail.
Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
Before we consider the job done, we walk the entire finished deck with you. We check every board, every railing, every stair tread. We answer any questions you have about maintenance, care, and warranties. Then we clean up completely no leftover materials, no debris. We leave you with a deck, not a mess.

- What Our Customers Say
Bronx & Westchester Homeowners Love Their New Decks
We'd been talking about building a deck in our Pelham Parkway backyard for three years. Best Construction Choice came out, gave us a no-pressure quote, and explained the Trex composite option in a way that actually made sense. The deck was done in five days and it's absolutely beautiful. No maintenance, no worries. Worth every penny.
Patricia J.📍 Pelham Parkway, Bronx NY 10469
'm a landlord with a two-family home in Morris Park. I needed a deck that would hold up with tenants and zero maintenance from me. They built a pressure-treated deck with composite railings, handled the permit, and the whole thing was done clean and professional. My tenants love it and it's been three winters with zero issues.
Marcus D.📍 Morris Park, Bronx NY 10462
I called three deck builders near me and Best Construction Choice was the only one who actually showed up on time, gave me a written quote the same day, and explained everything step by step. The deck came out better than I imagined — and they cleaned up everything when they were done. That alone separates them from the competition.
