Making the Most of Your Yonkers Yard

Yonkers is the largest city in Westchester County, and its housing ranges from single-family homes in Crestwood and Homefield to duplexes near McLean Avenue and row-style properties in Getty Square. Many of these homes have modest backyards — but that does not mean a deck is out of reach.

In fact, smaller yards often benefit the most from a professionally designed deck. A raised platform creates a level, usable surface even on a sloped lot. Built-in seating saves space by eliminating the need for bulky patio furniture. Multi-level designs can separate a grilling area from a seating area without taking up more ground. Our team designs decks specifically for the lot sizes and home styles found throughout Yonkers.

Outdoor space is valuable in Yonkers. Yards here tend to be compact compared to the suburbs further north, which means every square foot counts. A well-designed deck turns an underused backyard into a functional extension of your home — a place to grill, gather with family, or simply sit outside after a long day. If you are looking for professional decking services in Yonkers, NY, Kaon Roofs builds custom decks designed to fit your property, your lifestyle, and your budget. We are based right next door in Mount Vernon and have been building decks across Yonkers for over 30 years.

Deck Projects We Handle in Yonkers

New Deck Construction

Starting from scratch gives you the most flexibility. We design and build decks from the ground up, handling every step from footing layout and structural framing to surface installation and railing. Whether you want a simple ground-level platform off your back door or a raised deck with stairs and multiple zones, we build it to code and to your specifications. Every new deck includes proper ledger board attachment, flashed connections, and code-compliant railings.

Deck Replacement and Re-Decking

If your existing deck frame is still solid but the surface boards are rotting, splintering, or fading, a re-deck may be the right move. We remove the old decking surface, inspect the joists and framing for damage, make any necessary structural repairs, and install new deck boards. This approach costs less than a full tear-down and gives you a fresh surface on a proven foundation. Many Yonkers homeowners choose to upgrade from old wood to composite during a re-deck for lower long-term maintenance.

Deck Repair

Loose boards, wobbly railings, sagging stairs, and soft spots are safety hazards. We fix all of these. Our repair services include board replacement, railing reinforcement, joist sistering, post replacement, and hardware upgrades. If your deck just needs targeted work rather than a full rebuild, we identify exactly what needs attention and fix it without overselling.

Porches and Front Deck Spaces

Many Yonkers homes — especially in neighborhoods like Park Hill, Ludlow, and Nodine Hill — have front porches that serve as additional living space. We build and repair front porches, covered entries, and wraparound decks. A strong, attractive front porch improves curb appeal and gives you a place to enjoy the neighborhood.

Decking Materials for the Yonkers Climate

We install both composite and wood decking. Here is a quick guide to help you choose:

Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon) requires almost zero maintenance. It does not need staining, sealing, or sanding. It resists moisture, mold, and insect damage. It costs more upfront but saves time and money over its 25-to-50-year lifespan. For Yonkers homeowners who want a deck they can enjoy without weekend upkeep, composite is the top choice.

Pressure-treated wood is the most budget-friendly option. It holds up well when properly maintained with annual staining and sealing. Wood decks offer a natural look and feel that many homeowners prefer. They do require more regular care than composite, but they provide excellent value for homeowners who enjoy hands-on maintenance.

Cedar gives you natural rot and insect resistance with a beautiful grain. It needs periodic staining to maintain its color but ages gracefully even without treatment. Cedar works well for homeowners who want real wood without the rapid decay of standard lumber.
