Upgrading your home’s living room with an extension outdoors is an exciting project to consider. For home remodeling, building a deck can instantly highlight your property as a whole. That’s why making the right decisions to ensure it complements the house is essential. While most decks are raised off the ground, choosing how high they are raised still depends on a few reasons. So should you build a raised or grade-level deck?
Building Raised Decks
Also known as custom decks, putting up raised decks, always depends on the design of your own home. This deck can have stair access right on the outside with the stair height mirroring the height of the indoor stairs. It can be noted that the right deck can raise the overall value of your home. It also serves as an excellent way to finish out your backyard, along with plants and other landscaping elements.
Remember that the longevity and durability of your deck vary on the installer and the quality of the materials you are set to use. Always make certain you and your home remodeling contractor choose high-quality materials to guarantee that your deck works efficiently and would look just as good as planned.
Building Grade-Level Decks
While an at-grade deck is the easiest to build, it is also the most common type homeowners consider because of the cheaper cost. Without the need for piers and railings, these can be significantly inexpensive than their raised counterparts. You can assure extra furniture and accent purchases if you choose this type of deck.
The dilemma, however, is that it is more prone to moisture damage. Rest assured you can request for making use of water-resistant materials or adding waterproofing seals to the support joists so the deck wouldn’t be at risk of water-related problems.
