SEWELL, NJ – September 17, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
A homeowner planning a new deck often discovers an aging or mismatched fence needs replacing at the same time, and pairing both jobs under one contractor avoids the scheduling conflicts that come with hiring separate crews. Tri-State Fence & Deck completed one such project earlier this year for a homeowner in Sewell, NJ, building a composite deck and a matching vinyl privacy fence as a single scheduled job rather than two separate jobs.
Based in Sewell, Tri-State Fence & Deck has served Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties for more than 20 years as a family-owned contractor operating under New Jersey’s home improvement contractor license #13VH13604500. Owners Eriberto Torres Sr. and Eriberto Torres Jr. are present on every job site from the initial estimate through the final walkthrough, and the company backs its installation work with a three-year workmanship warranty covering post movement, panel separation, and gate alignment. Vinyl privacy fencing and Trex composite decking make up the bulk of its residential work, giving the crew regular practice sequencing both trades on the same property.
The Sewell project replaced an existing backyard setup with an elevated composite deck and a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence enclosing the property line. The deck spans multiple levels connected by a full staircase, finished with a two-tone rail system of white vinyl top rails and black aluminum balusters, and skirted underneath with white diamond lattice to hide the framing below. The fence uses solid, tongue-and-groove vinyl panels (boards that interlock edge to edge, so no gaps show between them) with a matching gate for yard access, selected to match the deck’s white trim rather than installed as an unrelated add-on.
The pairing has become more common as homeowners plan backyard renovations as a single project rather than a series of upgrades spread across several years. Composite decking and vinyl fencing share a similar appeal in that they require no sanding, staining, or repainting that wood decking and fencing do. A homeowner who upgrades one now is less likely to end up with a newer structure standing next to an aging, mismatched one within a few seasons. Across two decades of projects in Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties, Tri-State Fence & Deck has tracked that shift, and combined deck-and-fence jobs now make up a growing share of its backyard work.
A deck addition and a new fence typically fall under separate parts of a township’s permit process, since a deck is a structural addition tied to the house while a fence is reviewed against property-line setback rules. When a homeowner combines the two projects, Tri-State Fence & Deck files both applications together and manages any required homeowners association architectural review at the same time, keeping inspection scheduling aligned rather than split across two separate timelines.
Building both structures together also let the crew set deck footings and fence posts from a single grading pass and a single 811 utility-marking call, the required notification that flags buried gas, water, and electric lines before any digging starts. Laying out the fence line and deck frame at the same time let the crew match trim colors and railing styles across both structures. That kind of coordination is harder to manage when two separate contractors are pouring footings and setting posts on different schedules, often without seeing each other’s plans.
“A lot of what goes wrong on these jobs isn’t the deck or the fence on its own; it’s the handoff between two crews who never talked to each other,” said Eriberto Torres Jr., co-owner of Tri-State Fence & Deck. “When we build both at once, the footing depths line up, and the colors match, because the same crew already knows where everything went in the ground.”
