What decks projects look like in Newark
The Newark homes we work in are mostly 1950s–1990s, typically mid-century ranches, split-levels, and newer colonials. We've completed projects across Wedgewood, Devon, and Brookside.
Newark's split-levels and ranches often benefit from open-concept kitchen-living remodels, we frequently take out the original load-bearing wall between kitchen and family room.
