Potential buyers often view well-designed and well-maintained decks and patios as valuable home extensions, making your property more attractive. The appeal of having a usable and comfortable outdoor recreation area can significantly enhance your home's marketability, potentially leading to a higher sale price.

Moreover, the return on investment (ROI) for decks and patios tends to be favorable.

We Can Design Your Perfect Deck or Patio

Designing your perfect deck or patio involves considering several important factors to meet your needs and enhance your outdoor living space.

Things to think about when planning your new deck or patio include:

Purpose: Think about how you intend to use the space. Are you looking for a relaxing retreat, an area to entertain guests, a dining space, or a combination of uses?
Size and layout: Assess the available space and consider the scale of the deck or patio relative to your home. A well-proportioned design ensures balance and functionality.
Materials: Choose materials that suit your aesthetic preferences and maintenance requirements. Options include natural wood for a rustic look, composite for durability and low maintenance, or stone for a timeless appearance.
Style: Ensure the design of your deck or patio complements the architectural style of your home and integrates seamlessly with your existing outdoor features.
Budget: Set a realistic budget that covers all aspects of the project, including materials, labor, and any additional features like lighting or built-in seating.
Climate: Consider your local climate when selecting materials and design features. Some materials are better suited for regions with high humidity or extreme temperatures.
Privacy: Plan for any necessary privacy elements, such as screens, fencing, or strategically placed plants and landscaping.
Accessibility: Ensure easy access to and from your home and any adjoining outdoor spaces. Steps, ramps, or pathways should be safe and convenient.
Local regulations: Check with local authorities about building codes and permits required for your project to ensure compliance with regulations.

When you take these considerations into account, you can create a beautiful, functional, and inviting deck or patio for you and your family to enjoy well into the future.

The Benefits of Revitalizing Existing Decks and Patios

Revitalizing old decks and patios is a fantastic way to breathe new life into your outdoor spaces without the need for a complete rebuild. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause wear and tear, leading to faded colors, splintered wood, and a generally tired appearance. Professional repair services can restore the beauty and functionality of your deck or patio, making it a welcoming spot once again.

This process typically involves thoroughly cleaning to remove dirt, mold, and mildew and then repairing damaged areas. After cleaning and repairs, the deck or patio is often stained or painted and sealed to protect it from future damage and enhance its aesthetic appeal. This gives surfaces a fresher look and extends the life of your outdoor space, providing a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to a full replacement.

In addition to the basic restoration steps, you can consider adding a few upgrades to enhance your deck or patio further. For instance, updating the railing, adding built-in seating, or incorporating new lighting can significantly improve your outdoor area's functionality and appearance. These small but impactful changes can make your deck or patio more enjoyable for everyday activities and special gatherings. Also, refreshing the décor with new furniture, plants, and outdoor accessories can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refurbishing an old structure, Area Home Services can help you create the deck or patio of your dreams. Call us at (573) 594-4513 or contact our Quincy team online to get started!

How to Take Care of Your New Deck or Patio

Taking care of your new deck or patio is essential to preserving its beauty, safety, and functionality. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your outdoor space so that your family and friends can continue to enjoy it for years to come.

Basic maintenance steps you can take include:

Keeping the surface clean: Sweep away leaves, dirt, and debris regularly to prevent staining and surface damage. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the surface and consider power washing annually to remove grime and mildew.
Inspecting for damage: Routinely check for loose nails, cracked boards, or other signs of wear and tear. Addressing these issues can prevent more extensive damage and keep your deck or patio safe.
Reapplying stains and sealants as necessary: Depending on the material it’s made from, reseal or stain your deck or patio every 2-3 years to protect it from moisture, UV rays, and other environmental elements.
Protecting surfaces from moisture: Make sure there’s proper drainage around your deck or patio to prevent water from pooling. For wooden structures, use water-repellent products to minimize moisture penetration.
Caring for furniture: Regularly clean and maintain outdoor furniture to avoid staining or scratching your deck or patio surface. Use protective pads under heavy furniture to prevent dents and damage.
Investing in pest protection: Inspect for signs of termites or other pests and take preventative measures, like using treated wood or applying insect-repellent products, to protect your outdoor space.
Performing seasonal check-ups: In addition to regular maintenance, we recommend performing thorough seasonal checks, especially after harsh weather conditions, to identify and address any damage caused by the elements.

By incorporating these simple steps into your routine, you can protect your investment and your leisure time.
