One way to breathe new life into a dull yard is by adding a deck. The addition of an outdoor living space greatly improves not only your property value but also your lifestyle.
If you are feeling unsure about this renovation move, we listed up all the reasons why you should add a deck to your home this summer.
Enhances the value of property
When done correctly and with the best quality materials, a deck can considerably boost the value of your property. Although it’s not a benefit that you’ll experience right away, you’ll be very happy about this surge in value when you decide to sell the property. Adding a wooden deck, in particular, will give your property value a massive boost and a significantly larger ROI from your home.
Relatively cheap to build
While on the subject of investment, building a deck is not as costly as you think. It is relatively cheaper compared to other home improvement projects. For example, adding a deck to your home is cheaper than renovating the kitchen or installing new flooring around the property. So if you are on a limited budget but want something with a huge impact, a new deck is the way to go.
Entertainment
Having your family and friends come over during the summer holidays is always a great idea. However, the summer heat in Queensland isn’t very conducive to indoor parties and gatherings. The solution? Take them out to your new deck! Entertaining guests on the deck will let everyone else enjoy some nice cool breeze in the afternoon, especially if you live on the Gold Coast or other coastal regions in Queensland.
Here’s a few more tips on how you can renovate to beat the heat.
