If you’ve been thinking about adding to your home, a new deck or sunroom will provide space to kick back, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you plan to entertain guests or simply want some alone time, both structures have advantages. Here’s what you need to know about these options before hiring a builder.

Decks

A new deck offers an open-air platform that permits you to look out onto your beautiful backyard. It’s the perfect space for outdoor entertaining, whether you’re hosting guests or unwinding with family. Staining and finishing the deck helps it resist weather damage, so you can enjoy it for many years.

Outfit the space with plenty of comfortable seating and a table, plus space for a grill, to make outdoor dining a breeze. Creating an outdoor living space provides a significant return on investment if you decide to sell your home, especially if you build with wood instead of composite. 

Sunrooms

A new sunroom is ideal for families who want to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about extreme temperatures, inclement weather, and pests. Although sunrooms are enclosed, unlike decks, they have plenty of windows that allow light in from nearly every direction. This makes them perfect for large houseplants and indoor herb gardens.

You can also furnish your sunroom for a luxurious lounging and dining space. Since the area is protected from the elements, you may have more options for upholstery, rugs, and lighting.

While decks have a higher return on investment than sunrooms, the added space and year-round functionality will appeal to buyers if you ever decide to sell.
