$Your Deck Investment
$$YOUR BACKYARD INVESTMENT $$
Why investing in your backyard is SMART:
Building a deck is a "respectable" addition - its one that the real estate market sees as normal - 90% of decks are built as remodeling projects.
According to Hanley Wood (a large media company) in a 2007 Cost v Value study, deck additions (wood) rank #1 for remodeling investment across the nation. A deck returns an estimated 85.4% of it's cost; outranking both kitchen and bath remodels.
A third of the nearly $150 billion that Americans spent on home remodeling in 2005 went toward outdoor living areas, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics.
