Does Your Deck need a Face lift?
Increase the value of your home by improving your home deck!
As the seasons come and go each year, it might seem easy to overlook the wear and tear your deck is taking, but there are many benefits that come from giving your deck a little TLC. You might think your deck is fine or that the maintenance isn’t necessary, but being proactive with your deck’s well being will greatly benefit your home’s value in the long-run. Here’s why: Our 6 step Process will transform your old deck into a space you can use again. If you are looking to sell your home soon, then you need to put yourself in the place of someone looking at your home. When they first come for a tour, are they going to take note of a deck that is falling apart or see a well-constructed and cared for deck that they can enjoy for years to come? Don’t let a worn-out deck leave a bad taste in the buyer’s mouth. It will only lead to lower offers from those who are not looking forward to restoring or rebuilding the deck that wasn’t cared for. Attentiveness If you allowed your deck to go without necessary care for years, then potential buyers will immediately assume that you neglected other parts of the house. Buying a house is a huge decision, and the second that a person notices your lack of care for part of it, they will worry about what else you chose not to maintain throughout the years. No one wants to move into a house that will require a lot of money to fix. They want to move into a home that is ready for them to live in without endless repairs. A well-maintained deck shows a high level of attentiveness to buyers and provides them with peace of mind, and increased interest in your home! Safety Buyers with children will be especially concerned with the safety of a home and property. If your deck looks like a possible hazard for children, then the buyer is likely to walk away. Deck maintenance provides way more than good aesthetics – it provides safety. No one wants to worry about their children injuring themselves on a worn-out deck. Maintaining it ensures safety for everyone, and that will increase your property’s value. Properly maintaining your deck will ensure that your house has a higher value. More buyers will be interested in a home that is well cared for than one that is not. Even though a deck is only one aspect of the home, it is an easy one to base an opinion and evaluation on. It is an indicator of how well you care for your home and property. The better care you take of it, the more value your home will have! Learn more
