Spring is a perfect time for home improvement projects that have been sitting on your to-do list, and this year you should prioritize building a deck. Scheduling a carpentry team to build it now will provide many benefits that make the cost and effort well worthwhile. Below are a few of these advantages in more detail.

Why You Should Install a Deck

1. Boost Property Value

Building a wood deck has the highest return on investment of home improvement projects; the average return at resale is about 80%. This is because it’s low cost—there are no complicated utilities to install, foundations to pour, or overly expensive building materials. Buyers love to enjoy their yard, and the structure expands your home’s livable square footage, so it significantly improves the property’s value. The project becomes extremely affordable because you can expect to get your money back when you sell your house. Until then, you can enjoy the space.

2. Make Entertaining Easier

For the best entertaining possibilities, build your deck off of the main living areas such as the kitchen or family room. You can then add a sliding door or pair of french doors that open outside. When you open these, you significantly expand the area where you can entertain, both indoors and outdoors. People love to spend time outside, so you will have the perfect excuse to throw a party.

3. Enjoy the Weather

When summer arrives, you want to enjoy the beautiful weather. A deck allows you to do so, whether you’re relaxing with the family or having guests over. Scheduling the project now ensures you don’t miss any warm summer nights, whether you’re sitting around the fire pit or relaxing on your outdoor couch.
