Spring is upon us and it’s time to start thinking about warm-weather projects to boost your home’s value and your family’s enjoyment. There’s no better way to do that than with a brand new deck. Decks, whether you choose wood or composite, can increase the usability of your outdoor space so you can enjoy barbecuing, watching the kids in the pool or just relaxing with a good book.
Check out some of the top benefits to adding a deck onto your Newton home.
A new deck can…
1. Boost Your Property Value
Simply put, decks add value to your home. Even if you don’t plan on selling your home anytime soon, your property value will get a boost, giving you peace of mind in your investment. The best types of decks to boost home value include PVC and composite decks as opposed to wood decks. Yes, wood decks have their perks: they’re beautiful, classic, traditional and can be stained.
But they can also rot, they need restaining every couple of years, and you can get splinters when you walk on them. With composite decks, they last a lifetime, don’t need to be painted or stained, have very little maintenance needs, and come in a variety of colors and styles.
2. Provide More Space For Entertaining
If you love to entertain in the warm months, you’ll love what you can do with the addition of a new deck. You can host pool parties, barbecues, birthday parties and weekend gatherings. Everyone can enjoy the outdoors while you minimize the mess and crowd in the interior of your home.
A deck is also great if you have kids and teens, who can use that as a space separate from the rest of the house to congregate with friends. You can add lots of amenities to your deck if you love to entertain, such as an outdoor kitchen set-up, hot tub and plenty of patio seating. You can take things up a notch with stair lighting or pergolas too.
3. Give You Privacy
If you build your deck off the back of the house, you can use this additional space for more privacy as you sip a cup of coffee in the morning while watching wildlife. You no longer have to sit out on your front porch or in chairs in the side yard to enjoy nature. Your new deck is all yours, giving you the peace and quiet away from nosy neighbors or road traffic whenever you choose.
4. Increase Your Home’s Storage Space
Many decks come with vacant space underneath, affording you valuable storage space to store anything from yard tools and equipment to outdoor toys and extra patio furniture. Your stuff is shielded from the elements yet you can still easily access it.
