Your home might boast a beautiful backyard and an immaculate garden, but do you have a place to sit and enjoy the view? Adding a deck to your home not only makes your outdoor spaces more comfortable, but it also brings a variety of other benefits that could make you fall in love with your home all over again. Below are just a few reasons every DIY enthusiast should visit your local building supplies store and start working on a deck.

3 Benefits of Adding a Deck to Your home

1. Adding Value to Your Home 

Even if you don’t plan to put your house on the market anytime soon, a deck can dramatically increase your home value when you do decide to sell. In some markets, the added value can be much more than the cost of building supplies and labor that went into building your deck.

2. Creating a Space to Entertain Guests

A deck is a fantastic place to host barbecues and dinner parties, especially during the height of summer. A beautiful deck with built-in seating or a grill station will make your home the destination of choice for birthday parties, holiday celebrations, and neighborhood get-togethers, in a space you can truly be proud of.

3. A Deck Can Be Relatively Easy

Compared to many other high-value home improvement projects, building a new deck can be relatively fast and inexpensive. With the right building supplies and determination, many homeowners can frame and build a beautiful and durable deck in one to three weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the design. Freestanding decks are especially well-suited to self-taught craftsmen.
