10 reasons for adding a deck to your home

As the rains begin to move behind us, it is the perfect time to begin thinking about how to enjoy your home, from the outside. By adding a new deck to your home, you not only enhance the look and feel, and the warmth and the ambience of it, but you can also enjoy that new deck you just added for years to come. As you can tell from the above picture adding a deck really does wonders for enhancing an otherwise seemingly normal residence. Now the homeowner has a place that can be enjoyed during all seasons of the year.

As if that weren't reason enough, here are 10 more reasons why you should consider adding a deck to your home:

1. You can easily design your own customized and beautiful deck by contacting deck builders (such as Fort Rock Construction) in your area and getting started on your project.
2. Thanks to state-of-the-art computer software, in some cases you can even design how you envision your deck to look using your home computer; then you just print the plans and hire a deck builder to take it from there and make your project a reality.
3. Imagine having that extra place in your home where you can sunbathe (we know, a rare occasion in Oregon), watch the sunrise or sunset, or even just escape to your favorite book on your days off from work.
4. In most cases, by adding a deck to your home you can actually increase the value of your home, or add to the amount of equity you have in it.
5. Some people like to build decks that have hot tubs on them for additional relaxation or therapy. Can you imagine having friends over and enjoying their company while getting a great soak?
6. Barbequing taken to the next level. Nothing screams a good barbeque better than a well built deck and your own gas grill. Ducks/Beavers games will never be the same again.
7. Outdoor meals. Sure, it's great to dine in the kitchen or in the dinner room, but what about enjoying that fine spring evening breeze with a meal on your brand new deck?
8. Decks don't take that long to build or construct, and you can easily get a solid estimate on the project timeline. In a matter of weeks you could be enjoying your brand new deck, and for many years to come, too.
9. Most deck builders will provide you with a free quote (see below).
10. While a deck doesn't add countable square footage to your home, it adds personal space that you can enjoy whenever you feel like it.
