Does a new deck add value/bring buyers?

Nothing improves the appearance and functionality of a house exterior more than an expertly designed and hand-crafted deck construction or patio enclosure. A professional deck contractor such as James at Accent Deck Design can provide you with a custom deck plan sure to enhance the outside of your home; at the same time meeting your individual needs and tastes. So, will having a nice deck on your property bring you buyers in a selling market? Well, deck additions score heavily in increased property values, so the answer is yes. Most buyers looking for a home will enjoy having some extra "entertaining" space outdoors, and if their final choice was between two comparable homes, and one had a beautiful deck, then you know which one they'd pick.

Stripping, staining, and finishing with new technology deck products will also bring new life to any existing deck. So if you already have a deck in "not-so-good" shape, then think about maybe adding to it, and cleaning it up really nice. We have links to some very good deck finishers on our website.
