Just Decks & More
"Just Decks" was founded in 1983 by Clifford W. Johnston, Jr. and Arthur J. Aga – both carpenters (and best friends), working in the New Jersey residential housing market at the time.
Originally conceived as a side-business and source of extra income, the pair built several decks but eventually disbanded in order to pursue other career goals. Mr. Aga - a Union Carpenter - re-entered the commercial construction industry and worked on large projects including Malls, Restaurants and Office Campuses (such as the Lucent Technologies' Headquarters in Basking Ridge, NJ). Mr. Johnston - possessing a Bachelor's Degree in Economics/International Studies, and a Master's Degree in International Management - continued his progression in the Residential Construction field, rising to the position of Project Manager on several large Residential Subdivisions in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Mr. Johnston also received accreditations as a Building Inspector and a licensed real-estate sales person in PA.
