Building a custom home turns your dream house into a reality, allowing you to enjoy a space personalized to your wants and needs. If you’re about to start the new home construction process, consider adding a deck to the project. A custom deck offers several advantages you’ll learn about here.

Why Add a Deck to Your Custom Home?

1. Extra Square Footage

Enjoy adding square footage to your custom home with a deck. The extra space makes your home seem larger, especially when you add features such as a fire pit or outdoor kitchen. It provides more space for entertaining friends and family, so you don’t have to worry about feeling cramped inside. A deck also provides a space to relax in the morning with a cup of coffee, in the evening with a glass of wine, or any other time you want to unwind.

2. Variety of Options

Turn your backyard into a private sanctuary with a deck that complements your project’s architectural style. These outdoor structures come in a wide variety of styles, including wraparound, attached, island, multi-level, and rooftop designs. A multi-level deck, for example, accommodates a sloping backyard, while an island deck works well if you have a large backyard and want to create a focal point.

3. Curb Appeal

Boost your custom home’s aesthetic appeal when you add a deck that improves its overall look. This addition can also make it more attractive to buyers when you want to sell. Many buyers will pay more for a home with a stunning deck because of the many benefits they offer. Decks recoup about 82% of their cost when the home is sold. Because there are so many deck types and materials available, you can customize the project to suit your budget.
