Chatham NJ Backyard Covered Porch and Curved Deck Remodel

After the completion of their dream kitchen, these Chatham homeowners brought KraftMaster back to continue transforming their home—this time focusing on the ultimate backyard retreat. This project was all about blending comfort, entertainment, and year-round functionality. The key challenge was maximizing the outdoor space while creating seamless flow and protection from the elements. The result is a covered porch and curved deck that offer both beauty and utility.

The covered porch creates a true outdoor living room, featuring warm, wood-look composite flooring underfoot and crisp white tongue-and-groove ceilings above. A cozy yet stylish furniture set, accented with vibrant cushions, faces a mounted big-screen TV. Integrated gas heaters, a ceiling fan, and ambient lighting make this space usable in nearly every season. The stacked stone accent wall anchors the grill and vent hood, turning the porch into an entertainer’s paradise without smoke or odor concerns.

Just beyond, a beautifully crafted curved deck extends the entertaining space. The contrast of sleek black railings and rich brown decking creates a modern, upscale look. The deck connects effortlessly to a new patio area with a gas fire pit — perfect for evening gatherings. This space redefines backyard living with thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and attention to every detail. From weekday relaxation to weekend entertaining, this backyard now lives up to the stunning new kitchen inside.
