The rear of a Warren, NJ home was exposed and lacked the architectural finish the property deserved, and the homeowner needed both shade and a more resolved back facade. A design consultation with Decks By Kiefer produced a solution that addressed both problems in a single structure. The result is a covered ipe deck in Warren, NJ that reads as a permanent and intentional part of the home.
Decks By Kiefer installed ipe decking in a herringbone pattern beneath a cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling with recessed lighting and ceiling fans. Custom AZEK columns with arched openings, white-painted beam wraps, and matching railings with dark aluminum balusters give the structure its architectural character. A gas fire table anchors the lounge area, and a separate dining zone extends the covered footprint across the home’s full width.
The Warren, NJ, property now has a rear elevation that matches the quality of the home it belongs to, with shade, structure, and a finished ceiling built for year-round performance. Ipe and custom AZEK details require minimal maintenance and hold their character for decades. Decks By Kiefer backs the structure with a 10-year labor warranty, a standard applied to every build.
