    I had a wonderful experience with Backyard Living. They built an absolutely beautiful deck for me. The quality is amazing. Also they were very responsive, answered all questions and took care of everything from start to finish. Even my township workers commented on how friendly and pleasant they all are (since they applied for my permits for me). Great work and great people - I highly recommend them.

    I recently had a patio installed by Mel & Backyard Living, and I am thrilled with the final result! The team was professional, efficient, and friendly throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final clean-up. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences and came up with a design that perfectly suited my backyard space. The installation was completed in a timely manner, and the quality of workmanship was exceptional. I have received so many compliments from friends and family on how beautiful and functional my new patio is. I would highly recommend Mel & Backyard Living to anyone looking for a high-quality patio installation. Thank you for the excellent work!

    Backyard Living were dependable and did a great job on our deck. They gave us a very competitive price. We would use them again, and recommend them.

    We replaced an elevated wood deck with a composite deck. Half of the new deck is screened with a peaked roof. We called four contractors for this project. Two failed to bid. Of the two estimates we received, Backyard Livingâ s matched our ideas exactly and was more competitive. The deck looks great, and it is square, plumb, level, and rock solid. The project was completed on schedule and in budget. Mel and the crew came on time, worked steadily all day, and cleaned up every night. They treated my family and property with respect. We highly recommend them for this type of work.

    Our old deck was falling apart and Mel came and replaced it with a bigger improved deck of composite for a very fair price. It came out great. Would hire them again.

    Mel and his crew completed our deck yesterday and I'm glad to report complete satisfaction. They are punctual, proficient and professional and the deck could support a herd of elephants. If you seek quality and attention to detail, call this contractor first.

    I also talked with and got estimates from a few other professionals and also considered having a very skillful handyman do the job. When Mel came to do the estimate, he immediately identified several important issues both in terms of how the previous (now rotting) deck had been constructed and my design for the new deck. Clearly, I wanted to hire someone with his eye for detail! His work was timely and attentive to detail. He noticed some uprights and a crossbeam that needed to be replaced or moved; these had not been included in his estimate. He did not charge extra for these items. He moved the steps to protect a rose bush, adding two additional steps; he did not charge extra. I would hire Mel for any other job within his competency. (Thank you, Mel!!!) Oh, and yes, a pleasure to have him and his men on the job.

    They work so hard and our deck is perfect. We are very pleased and delighted with the finished project. From start to finish all of our questions were answered in a timely fashion and their work is perfect in every way. I will highly recommend them to anyone one who is doing any kind of building. Mel and his team are awesome.

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.

      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
