Patio deck installation in Paterson, NJ by House of Decks LLC. TimberTech decking, black railings, and a custom backyard layout.
Project Story
From Start to Finish
What We Found
Before the project, the Paterson home had a small concrete slab and an aging step-down area that felt cramped and dated. The surface had visible cracking, and the transition from the back door to the yard was awkward for everyday use. The homeowner wanted a patio deck that would look better and hold up well without constant upkeep.
What Made It Tricky
The backyard had a slight slope, so we needed to set the height carefully and keep the walking surface level from the back door out to the yard. The homeowner also wanted enough room for a compact dining set and grill without making the deck feel oversized for the lot.
How We Built It
We installed a pressure-treated frame on properly set footings and finished it with TimberTech composite decking for a durable, low-maintenance surface. A Kona Brown field with a Coastal Gray border gave the deck a finished look, and black aluminum railings were added for safety and a clean contrast. We also built a short stair run to make the transition to the lawn easy to use.
The Finished Deck
The finished patio deck gives the backyard a more useful footprint and a cleaner look from the house. The composite surface sits evenly, the colors work well with the exterior, and the railing package keeps the design simple. It replaced a worn concrete area with a space that feels built for everyday use.
How They Use It
The homeowners now use the deck for morning coffee, weekend grilling, and sitting outside with family. It made the back of the house feel more open and practical.

““The old back area was worn out, and this new deck makes the whole yard easier to use. The crew kept everything organized and the finish looks really clean.””
