Will Building a Deck Improve My Home’s Resale Value?

April 2, 2019

John's Lumber Building a Deck to Improve Your Resale Value

There are many things you can do with your home, but not all of them are financially beneficial. Making changes or adding features can cost a lot of money. Most homeowners weigh the price of the investment with how much they will get back if or when they decide to sell. Decks are a popular find, but will installing one do anything for your resale value?

The Cost of a New Deck

Just like anything else in life, prices vary drastically based on product and accessories. The composite decking itself starts as low as $2 a foot and can go all the way up to $5 a foot. John’s Lumber’s team is experienced to guide you on best choices based on your needs and budget.

Do Home Buyers Want a Deck?

The good news is that a new deck is a smart investment. Many buyers want a deck. It can add curb appeal and functionality to your property.

According to a cost vs. value report published by Remodeling Magazine, homeowners recoup an average of 80% of the building cost of a new wood deck when they sell. Remodeled bathrooms only recouped about 78% followed by family room additions at 69%.

If you are ready to increase your home’s resale value, now is a great time to build a deck. Contact or stop by John’s Lumber in Clinton Twp. or Shelby Twp. to learn more or to get an estimate for your project.

5 Composite Decking Maintenance Tips That Will Extend the Life of Your Deck

August 7, 2018

John's Lumber Decking Maintenance Tips

Many homeowners are switching from traditional lumber to composite decking. This material is very durable and resistant to fading. It does not rot and never requires painting or sanding. The following tips will help keep your composite deck looking like new for years to come.

  • Tip 1: Clean Spills and Mold Off Of Decking Right Away

Old spills or mold growth can make your composite decking look unsightly. Clean these substances off of the surface as soon as you notice them. This will keep your deck looking pristine and prevent buildup in the woodgrain texture.

  • Tip 2: Avoid the Use of Metal or Sharp-Edged Snow Shovels

If you need to shovel snow off of your composite deck, do not use a metal snow shovel. Look for a tool that’s plastic or one that has a nylon or rubber edge. Always push the shovel parallel to the deck boards.

  • Tip 3: Place a Splash Mat Under Your Grill

Grilling is wonderful on a deck. If you plan to set up the BBQ, make sure you place a splash mat underneath. This will serve as a barrier between hot grease and your new composite decking.

  • Tip 4: Keep Spaces Between Boards Free of Debris

Leaves, pebbles, dirt, and other natural debris can get stuck in the spaces between your composite boards. Clear this regularly to avoid buildup. A spatula or putty knife works well.

  • Tip 5: Sweep Composite Decking Once a Week

Sweep your composite deck once a week, or more often if you live in a wooded area. This will keep the surface clear and reduce the amount of debris that ends up between the boards.

If you are ready to learn more about composite decking maintenance or installation, contact John’s Lumber in Shelby Twp. or Clinton Twp. We are available to answer your questions and help you plan the perfect outdoor entertaining area for your home.
