We found Decks NJ through a Facebook group. We are so happy that we did. We bought our home in 2016…read moreand there was an existing deck which was approximately 30 years old. It was in extremely poor shape. We contacted Joe the owner of Decks NJ and in a week or so he came by to give us an estimate and his vision of what we could do. We wanted to save some money and not remove the existing substructure and Joe had the integrity to be honest with us and tell us it was in workable shape. Joe listened to what we wanted and provided his expert opinion... (much if not all of which we agreed with). He went to work and sent us graphical drawings (which looked very real) and our new deck just jumped out at us. We had to have it! We negotiated a very fair price with Joe and he and his team spent the next few weeks building our dream deck. If you are looking for an artist who will listen to his customers and work very hard to please look no further. Joe and his team are meticulous about every detail and want the deck and the experience to be the best in the business.. it shows.

I got a few quotes and Joe from Deck's NJ was the only one who took their time and was very…read moreprofessional about the entire process. On top of it his prices were very competitive and even if they weren't I would have paid extra if I had to do it all over again just to get the service I did. He cares about his work and will give you options and his professional opinion should you be open to it which I appreciated. You will not be disappointed with him and his team so give him a shot and I promise you will be extremely happy at the end of the project!

We had a few people come over to give estimates for our long overdue deck project. We had pressure…read moretreated wood that after, 20+ years of sun exposure, was beginning a splintered hazard. We knew we wanted Trex. At first we had George work out a 50/50 project to quote. My wife and I liked George right off of the bat. Great guy and knows his stuff. His price was right in line with the others. His knowledge and pictures of previous work, sold us. Once the deck was underway, George made some suggestions. Yes, it was more money and yes, I started to get overwhelmed with cost. That was one me, not George. His price was more than fair. So, at one point, we decided to go "all in" with Trex and lights and nice railings..... George's team was awesome. They were efficient and clean. There was never garbage strewn around our yard. The entire project took a week and the end result was WAY beyond what we originally hoped for. An added bonus was the way George built the support for the decking. Our town inspector put it best.... "The support for this deck is beyond code." When we started planning, there weren't a lot of reviews for Deck Experts which worried me. I wanted to make sure to publish a review for anyone with doubts. I would recommend George and his crew to anyone looking for a deck build or redo. You will have zero regrets and as a salesman, George is informative not pushy. Trust his design and his finished work. You'll be more than pleased with the end result. Contact me with any questions or concerns.

There I store items not presently needed but not ready for the garbage heap. Sebastian was the first to answer my call and his ideas captured me into rejecting other later applicants. After the stairs came the wonderful suggestion of reconstructing one section of the attic. In this space I could walk standing up and a beautiful bedroom and office was constructed. The work was done quickly and professionally. By Christmas I had an extra bedroom to accommodate my many overnight visitors, particularly grandchildren. The transformation is magical. Here is a picture of before and after. I am hoping to continue with this construction in some months under Sebastian's visionary supervision

I hired Sea Beast Design & Construction (Sebastian Barbagallo) as General Contractor for a…read moreresidential project in Fair Lawn, NJ under a written contract in March 2026.. I paid Sea Beast $68,190 against the contract and separately paid $17,176 directly for materials I had no contractual obligation to pay -- $85,366 total -- yet MULTIPLE major scope items remained incomplete or not meaningfully progressed with only weeks left on the schedule. These included the porticos, exterior brick samples, simple framing and finish details, unable to install simple door hardware, the HVAC condenser pad (the condenser itself was paid for but not on site), step repointing and masonry, main electrical service, exterior hardware, interior doors (despite a $3,000 advance for them), and the kitchen, which was never properly coordinated, ordered or released. Sea Beast also failed to provide the conditional lien waivers, a simple bill that wasn't a demand for money that needs to be today which was required with each progress payment, and continued to demand additional payment while materially overbilled relative to work completed. I issued a formal Notice of Performance Issue on April 4, 2026 requiring a written cure plan, manpower and sequencing plan, procurement status, revised schedule, lien waivers, and payment reconciliation. Sea Beast acknowledged receipt but did not provide the required cure documentation. I issued a Notice of Default on April 8, 2026 under the contract's default provision, which required cure commencement within 36 hours. The required cure was not provided. I terminated the contract for default and am pursuing damages. I would not hire Sea Beast Design & Construction again and would not recommend them for residential general contracting work. I've filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs.
