Deck Builder in Middletown, NY
EJS Calderon Construction builds, repairs, and replaces decks across Middletown and Orange County. Fifteen years on the tools, straight answers, and clean work you can stand on.
Built by People Who've Done This 15 Years
Your deck is where summer actually happens. Grilling. Coffee before anyone else is up. Kids running in and out.
We've spent 15 years framing, fastening, and finishing decks for Middletown homes. In that time we've learned that no two backyards ask for the same thing. A sloped lot in Orange County needs different footings than a flat one. An older home with settled framing needs a different approach at the ledger board than a newer build.
So we look first, then we talk materials. Not the other way around.
Our Decking Services
Full-service deck work for Middletown homeowners: new builds, repairs, teardowns, and railings. We handle wood and composite, ground-level platforms and elevated structures. Whatever your yard is doing, we've likely built on something like it before.
Deck Installation
Planning through final board. Framing, decking, stairs, railings, finish details. Wood or composite, we'll walk you through what each costs you over ten years, not just day one.
Deck Repair
Rotted boards, wobbly railings, cracked stair treads. We find the source, not just the symptom. Middletown's freeze-thaw cycle is hard on connections, and that's usually where we start looking.
Deck Demolition
Old deck coming down, controlled and clean. We dismantle it, haul the debris, and leave the ground ready for whatever's next: new build, patio, or lawn.
Railing Installation
Railings hold people up. We install systems with correct baluster spacing and solid post connections, in styles that suit your house instead of fighting it.
Railing Repair
Leaning posts and loose sections get inspected honestly. Sometimes it's a repair. Sometimes replacement is the smarter call, and we'll tell you which.
Why Middletown Homeowners Call Us
15 Years, Hands On
Decks fail at the details: fasteners, board spacing, ledger connections, stair rise. Fifteen years of building means we catch those problems on paper instead of discovering them halfway through the job.
We Know These Properties
Orange County yards slope, drain badly, and freeze hard. Older Middletown homes carry their own quirks. Local experience means we plan for what's actually in your backyard, not a generic lot.
Work That Holds Up
Level framing. Consistent board gaps. Stairs that feel right underfoot. We don't rush the parts that decide whether a deck lasts eight years or twenty-five.
You'll Know What's Happening
Clear scope, honest material comparisons, realistic timelines. Ask us anything mid-project. A confused homeowner is a sign someone isn't communicating.
How the Project Runs
Consultation
We talk through what you want to build, fix, or tear out, and how you actually plan to use the space.
Property Evaluation
We assess grade, access, deck height, and existing structure, then turn your ideas into a workable layout.
Materials and Prep
Wood or composite, railings, stairs. We compare honestly, then organize the build around the approved plan.
Build and Walkthrough
Clean, sequenced construction. When it's done, we walk the deck with you and answer whatever's left.
Custom Deck Design
Some people want an open platform for the grill. Others need built-in seating, wider stairs, or two levels that separate the eating from the lounging.
Custom design is really about movement: where furniture sits, how people get from kitchen to deck to lawn without a bottleneck. Get that right and a small deck feels twice its size.
We also connect decks to patios, walkways, and existing yard features so the whole backyard reads as one space. If you're thinking about a pergola or shade structure down the line, tell us early. It changes how we frame.
Fifteen years on the tools.
Straight answers, and clean work you can stand on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a deck cost in Middletown, NY?
It depends on size, height, materials, stairs, railings, and site access. A ground-level wood deck and an elevated composite deck with custom railings sit in very different ranges. Slope and access affect it too. We give free estimates after seeing the actual site, which is more accurate than any square-foot guess.

Send us your address and a short description of the job. We'll confirm coverage and schedule a look. Call (845) 610-0620 or email csconstruction908@gmail.com.
How long does a deck installation take?
Size, design, materials, and site access all move the number. A simple deck goes faster than a multi-level structure with stairs and detailed railings. Weather and permit approvals matter too. We give you a realistic timeline before we start, and we tell you if anything shifts.
Wood or composite?
Wood looks natural and costs less upfront, but it wants staining and sealing on a schedule. Composite costs more on day one and asks almost nothing of you afterward. The right answer depends on whether you'd rather spend money now or weekends later. We'll lay out both.
Can you repair my deck instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. It comes down to the framing, posts, and connections. Isolated damage is a repair. Widespread rot or structural movement usually means replacement is safer and cheaper long term. We inspect, show you what we find, and tell you honestly which way to go.
What are the signs my deck needs repair?
Soft or spongy boards, wobbly railings, cracked stair treads, rusted fasteners, visible sag or movement, water pooling that never dries. Freeze-thaw cycles accelerate all of it. If the deck feels unsteady underfoot, get it looked at before the problem spreads into the framing.
Can you repair or replace deck railings?
Yes, both. Loose sections, rotted posts, weak connections, worn components. Sometimes a targeted repair restores safety completely. Sometimes a new railing system is the better result. We look at the existing condition and give you the real options.
Can you remove an old deck before building a new one?
Yes. We dismantle the old structure, clear the materials, and open up the space. Demolition also lets us spot drainage, grading, or access issues worth designing around. Teardown and new build can run as one project.
