Right now, decks are hot! Homeowners are renovating and building decks more than ever before. If you want to know why, here are four fantastic facts about them:
- Smart Investment: Experts say you can get a 100% return on your investment because, these days, buyers want houses with decks.
- Materials Galore: There are so many choices today when it comes to decking materials. Some are better suited to warm climates, while others are better suited to cooler climates. You can choose from a selection of hardwoods, or you could opt for a more eco-friendly option in the form of composite material – these decks look just as beautiful and authentic as those made with real hardwoods. You can also choose various fastener types, from stainless steel screws and traditional brass to modern systems where the fasteners are hidden so they are out of sight.
- Party! The year-round possibilities for having fun on decks with friends and family are limitless. Organize a pumpkin-carving competition on Halloween and light up your entire deck with Jack-o-lanterns. On the 4th of July, get together to grill hotdogs and sip iced tea. On New Year’s Eve, organize a big bash and pop bottles of champagne at the stroke of midnight.
- Connect with Nature: Raise prize-winning roses, grow your own herbs, and listen to the soothing sound of wind chimes on your deck. Enjoy dining al fresco or simply meditate and relax. Life is hectic and fast, but decks allow you to escape into your own private world with Mother Nature.
