WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE ADDING A DECK TO YOUR PROPERTY

If your residence in DuPage County does not have outdoor recreation space, one of the best ways to make it happen is with a deck installation. Besides that it is an economically feasible option, it is an option that will allow meetings with your family and friends, as well as increase the real estate value of your home in the long term.

HERE ARE A FEW ASPECTS TO CONSIDER BEFORE ADDING A DECK TO YOUR PROPERTY:

Property: Is your property the perfect place for a decking, patio or a combination of both? If in such a case you prefer a deck, you should know that although it is compatible for any type of terrain, it is better for terrains with unevenness or that are easily susceptible to the weather. For patios, it is best for homes that have doors that open at ground level and / or are located on level ground. If you want a combination of both, here at DuPage Porches & Decks we offer it!

Access: Regardless of the plan of use that you have, the deck of your home will have a direct impact on its size and location at the time of its construction. Therefore, it is necessary that you have a quick access point and if you do not have one, it is preferable to add it before proceeding with the deck building. In this regard, always take into account the use of your deck to correlate it with the place where it will be placed (for example, if it will be used as a children’s play space, it is advisable to place it in a place close to the room).

Aesthetics: Another of the most important aspects that deck builders consider when building the deck in their residential area is that it complements the aesthetics and architecture of your home to maintain an environment of continuity. However, one of the most crucial decisions when making a deck construction is the use of real wood or composite boards. While wood boards are easy to purchase, they are much more difficult to maintain due to their exposure to the elements. Composite boards are identical to real wood and do not require as much maintenance, but they are much more expensive to acquire. In these cases, the DuPage Porches & Decks deck designer will be in charge of assisting you in choosing the best material, style and color for your home.
