Decks

Creating an outdoor living space is a popular trend among homeowners these days. Installing a deck area is a common first step in creating this kind of space. A deck allows homeowners to extend the living space of their home, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors.

You can built your deck out of wood, vinyl, composites, and even aluminum, but the most economical option is wood. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2020 Cost vs. Value Report, wood decks allow homeowners to recoup the full amount (100%) of their investment costs. Wood makes your deck look and feel more natural, but there are also some significant disadvantages of choosing a wooden deck. A wood deck requires a great deal of maintenance in order to remain comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Mainly because wood will split, crack, and fade if left untouched.

A more popular choice for decking materials is composites, which is a mixture of wood fiber and plastic. Composite decking is more costly, but doesn’t require any maintenance. Composite decking will not crack, warp, or rot. The 2020 Cost vs. Value Report shows that adding a composite deck in our region results in a recoup of 109% of installation costs – clearly a good investment!
