However, there are few things that will raise a home’s worth and secure its resale value like adding a deck. Not only does it dramatically increase a homeowner’s enjoyment and increase the property’s aesthetic appeal, but it also gives sellers an excellent return on investment (ROI). Will a new deck add value to my home? There’s nothing like having an outside area where you can relax alone or have fun entertaining guests, which is why adding a deck is one of the smartest and most attractive home improvements one can make. However, not all decks are created equal. To get the most from your investment, there are a few variables to consider before construction can begin. Materials matter most. When deciding what material will be used to build your dream deck, you have two choices: natural wood and a composite. According to the website Ownerly, a natural wood deck may recoup 72% of the total cost to build it, while one constructed of a composite material could provide a 67% return on investment. Depending on how long you plan to live in the home, a composite deck is more expensive up front, but will save you money in the long run because it will not require as much upkeep as a natural wood deck.
