Each year Archadeck sees a spike in its web site traffic around April 15.  This makes perfect sense.  First, the weather is warming up and people are stepping into their yards and thinking how great it would be to have a new deck, patio, or porch.  But secondly, homeowners are finishing up their tax returns and realizing that they may have some extra money to spend to make their own back yard the perfect space to spend free time relaxing and unwinding.  In the past, getting a bonus or refund might have been a good indication that it was time for a family vacation. But, since the recession, homeowners are smarter and opt to create a great “staycation” environment in their own backyards.

Dreaming of a new wood deck isn’t just an idle fancy; it’s a smart investment too.  Decks are one of the few home improvement projects that add real value to a property, in addition to making it a more enjoyable place to live and play.  Regional data on home improvement project “cost vs value” show that the addition of a wood deck offers one of the best returns on investment on a home upgrade.  You’ll have the benefit of using the deck as long as you stay in your house and feel good about having invested in the value of your home.

In addition to adding value to your home in the short and long term, adding a deck makes a home more sellable.  What could be more southern than having a deck with a couple rocking chairs and some sweet tea or lemonade?  A beautiful deck has curb appeal that translates into less time on the market and a higher selling price.

If you have an existing deck that has seen better days, Archadeck can often help resurface it.  Sometimes the deck only needs minor enhancements to bring it up to code and to make it look fresh and new. It will increase your enjoyment of the yard and will increase the salability of your property at a fraction of the cost of putting in a new deck.

Give Archadeck a call to discuss the dreams you have for your home and yard.  Our free consultation will give you the facts, ideas and inspiration that will help you turn your tax refund check into a home investment you can relax on all summer long.
