Why Decks Pay Off

There are several major reasons that people find decks appealing. First of all, they give the homeowner another point of egress from the home to the yard, which tends to add value. A deck also increases a home’s usable space – but costs only about half of what it would to build a new room in the house. Beyond that, decks are popular gathering places. They give guests more open space to gather, rather than forcing them to hover in the kitchen or living room, and families can get a lot of use out of their deck when the weather is nice.

There may also be a certain amount of “keeping up with the Joneses” when it comes to adding a deck. Wood or low-maintenance material decks are popular and fairly common in many homes, so if everyone else in the neighborhood has a deck but you don’t, you may be hurting your resale value slightly. You may also detract from your home’s value if you have an older deck that is no longer safe or just looks weathered, so if you have an old deck on your property, it’s a good idea to refurbish it before you sell your home.
