Deck Upgrades For Year-Round Fun

It’s officially deck season and with all the warm weather in our future, it might be time for you to consider making some updates to your deck. Upgrading your deck may seem like a costly investment, but it can save you money in the long run and add a lot to your outdoor home enjoyment.

A well-maintained deck is less likely to require costly repairs or replacement and can save you thousands of dollars over time. Upgrading your deck’s flooring to a low-maintenance material like composite decking can save you time and money on maintenance and upkeep.

Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space

Upgrading your deck can improve both its appearance and durability. Having solid flooring allows you the homeowner to place the furniture for lounging, set up your BBQ to offer your friends and family a summertime assortment of tasty grilled treats, and even consider installing a hot tub for wintertime hangs in the snow.

Choosing The Right Material: Trex Composite vs Wood

Choosing between Trex and wood decking materials ultimately depends on your personal preferences and budget. If you are looking for a natural look and feel and are willing to put in the time and effort to maintain it, then wood decking may be the right choice for you. However, if you want a long-lasting, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly option, then Trex decking is the way to go. 

Improve Safety

Unattended decks can pose a safety hazard to you and your family. Upgrading your deck will improve its safety by replacing any damaged or rotting boards, reinforcing the deck’s structure, and installing safety features like handrails and non-slip stair treads.

Enjoy the Outdoors

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, and we all understand the endless fun a good deck can offer to our house, but it can also be a great winter hang spot. We already mentioned the hot tub, but maybe you like to sauna instead. Perhaps you just want a nice spot to walk out and enjoy the silence of the morning with a cup of coffee or an afternoon beverage paired with a proper sunset. Having a deck that can carry the weight of summer gatherings or winter snow build-up is key to keeping you and your loved ones safe.
