Front deck and landscaping in Golden, CO

It sounds like the beginnings of good news for homeowners and prospective buyers in Colorado – the market is finally stabilizing. This means that now is a great time to take a look at your home and decide if you plan to stay put or if you’d like to get your home ready for sale.  Regardless of which you choose, the addition of a wood deck to your home yields the highest return on home improvement investments, according to the 2012 Cost vs. Value report.

 

If you’d rather stay in your home

Take a look at your current outdoor living room. Do you use it regularly? If not, why not? Start by thinking about what changes you’d make to enhance the space and give it more functionality. Did you install a spa environment when your kids were younger, and now it just sits there unused? Maybe it’s time to take out that spa and build an outdoor kitchen so you can amaze your friends with your culinary skills. Or perhaps, you’d like to install a fire pit so you can enjoy your deck on cooler nights.

If you’re thinking of selling your home

If you have an existing deck, it’s time to check the deck to make sure that there are no repairs needed and that it’s up to code. Cleaning and staining the deck will give it nice curb appeal and will show the potential buyers what an amazing addition the outdoor living area is.

If you don’t have a deck, think about installing one!
