Deck Remodeling Do’s & Don’ts

By admin on July 30, 2019

If you’re a Newton area homeowner about to embark on a deck remodeling project, you’re going to want to know these deck remodeling do’s and don’ts:

DO: Work with an experienced creative deck remodeling professional. Choosing a builder who specializes in decks is the smartest, most cost-effective way to ensure your new deck is everything you dreamed of.

DON’T: Cling too tightly to tradition. While wooden decks may have been good enough for your parents and grandparents, building technology has evolved. Composite decking means your deck will look good longer, need less care, and resists weather, mold and mildew damage better than white pine.

DO: Center your family’s lifestyle in your creative deck design. Your Newton deck builder will talk to you about what your family’s like and what you enjoy doing. The reason they do this is to gather information that can influence your deck design. For example, if your family likes to host big gatherings and entertain, integrating a large outdoor kitchen into your deck design might make sense – whereas if you prefer to keep things more quiet and private, an enclosed deck just large enough for your family and a few favorite friends could be the better option.

DON’T: Go with the lowest-bid deck contractor. A deck is a very visible part of your home. Its appearance will influence how people view your property and your family. A well built deck complements and enhances the home, while a poorly built deck reveals the shoddy workmanship with every passing season. Invest in your deck just like you’d invest in any other home improvement. Choose a qualified professional who will do the job right. That way you’ll be proud of your deck for years!

DO: Ask questions before you choose your deck builder. You want to see examples of other decks they’ve built. It doesn’t hurt to ask for references either! Doing a little research ahead of time can help you choose the right Newton deck contractor.
