Should You Add a Deck to Your Home?

A deck is a fantastic place to entertain. Your home may not be large enough to host an event, but with a deck, you’ll have the extra space. And just think, you won’t have to worry about spills or other costly cleanups.

Add a portable bar and an outdoor grill to your deck for maximum party potential.

Low Maintenance

A deck requires very little maintenance. Wood decks need to be stained annually and sealed every few years. Composite decks require no maintenance at all.

Think of your deck as an extension of your indoor living space. Use it for reading, relaxing, eating, playing, and more. Some people choose to add outdoor exercise equipment or hot tubs to their decks for even more creative ways to use it.

We all need more room to store things. Add an underdeck watershed system, and you’ll have dry storage space below the deck. Use it for outdoor chairs, pool toys, lawnmowers, and other outdoor items that need a dry home.

Decks are fully customizable. You may choose to have a simple rectangular deck for your outdoor chairs, or you may want a multi-tiered deck with a table and benches and a built-in grilling station. Choose your design, stain color, and accessories to make your deck exactly what you want.

A deck provides additional living space at a fraction of the cost of an indoor addition.

For those of us who aren’t keen on yard work, a deck replaces some of your grass!

The bottom line is that a deck provides aesthetically pleasing, functional living space with good ROI.
