Square Footage Expanded
Believe it or not, a deck, whether enclosed or not, can add square footage to your home when done correctly. It’s notjustan outdoor space unless you DIY bricks on the ground to function as a simple patio. If your goal is to increase square footage of your home, you might consider adding a deck, which will cost substantially less than a fully-enclosed room. The average range of adding a 20 x 20 square foot room costs around $32,000-$80,000. Carefully consider your deck idea to expand the square footage of your home, which in turn could add value to it.
Money-Back at Sale?
Recouping the cost of installing any deck idea depends on the material, features, and condition of the deck. For example, a wood deck costs around $13,000. The resale value for a well-maintained wood deck is around $10,000, which means homeowners recoup around 75% of the cost. Inevitably, the resale value will decrease if your deck is rundown and looks like a potential safety hazard. Our professionals at MasterDecks suggest re-staining wood every two to three years and keeping up with maintaining a solid-looking deck in order to maximize recouping the cost of your deck.
