Transform Your Home with a Rooftop Deck: Price Points and Case Studies from GREENCITYdesign
In Hoboken, Jersey City, and across the NYC metro area, outdoor space is rare. A rooftop deck gives you a private, flexible escape. At GREENCITYdesign, we specialize in turning underused rooftops into beautiful and functional spaces. Whether you're after peace and quiet or a place to host friends, we build decks that fit your life and your budget.
Why Rooftop Decks Make Sense in the City
City living often comes with trade-offs. Space is limited. But your rooftop is an untapped asset. A deck adds square footage without touching your interior. Use it for coffee in the morning, dinners at night, or just a quiet break in the fresh air.
Rooftop decks also increase property value. They add both usable space and appeal. If you're in Hoboken, Jersey City, or anywhere in Hudson County, a deck is a smart, lasting upgrade.
GREENCITYdesign: Rooftop Experts Since 2014
We’ve been building rooftop decks since 2014. We know the ins and outs of urban projects. From building permits to structural details, we handle it all. Our team has completed dozens of rooftop builds — small, large, and everything in between. And we treat each one like it’s our own.
We’ve learned that the right design isn’t about style alone. It’s about how you want to use the space, how much you want to spend, and what matters most to you. That’s why we now focus on three clear budget tiers.
