Get the Perfect Custom Deck by Considering These Qualities
If you’re looking to add value and extra usable space to your South Jersey area home, you may want to look into having a deck added to it. You shouldn’t settle for just any deck, though – certainly not a generic color-by-the-numbers option. What’s interesting and unique about that? Nothing. To add interest and beauty to your home, you need to have your deck custom built by an experienced and dependable remodeling company such as William and Son Remodeling.
The best part about having a custom built deck for your home is that you can have complete control over how the final product is going to look. By focusing on every detail, large and small, you can ensure that you will get a deck that is guaranteed to be not only beautiful but also perfect for your needs. So, when you hire us to add a custom deck to your South Jersey home, be sure you’re taking careful consideration over the following key qualities:
Deck Size
You don’t want a deck that’s too large. What would you do with all that extra space? You’d feel compelled to fill it up with furnishings just for the sake of filling in the empty space, and doing so can be costly – and unnecessarily so. On the flip side, you don’t want a deck that’s too small because what can you do with a tiny deck? You certainly can’t relax on one, and forget entertaining. No, to fully enjoy your deck, you need to get the perfect baby bear of deck sizes.
Of course, that size can be a bit subjective, can’t it? Everyone’s tastes and needs are different, so there’s no objectively perfect choice when it comes to how large or how small to construct a deck. So, when having yours constructed, you need to stop and take a number of factors into consideration so that you can land square in the middle of what’s perfect in terms of size. To determine what size is best for you, simply factor in the following considerations:
- Number of guests
- Furnishings
- House size
- Landscaping
Materials
Not all deck materials are made the same. That’s not to say one material is objectively better than the others. Rather, it’s saying that one material will be better FOR You than the others will be. After all, there are factors such as cost, maintenance needs, and, of course, appearances to keep in mind as you consider what to have your deck constructed with. Here are just some of the more common material options and their qualities for you to consider:
- Wood: beautiful and long-lasting
- Vinyl: easy to maintain
- Composite lumber: low-cost
As you can see, each material offers something to love – and something quite different from the other materials. So, while you’ll surely find something to love in each material type, you won’t always find the same something to love, nor will that be something that you specifically should look for in your deck. So, before you get construction started, make sure you’re having your deck constructed with the best materials for your tastes and needs.
Materials
It’s not all about practical considerations where your deck is concerned. After all, this installation is as much a decoration as it is a utility, and to make this piece of decoration stand out as best you can, you need to be thoughtful about the color scheme you choose for your deck. Do you want something neutral such as a gray or a brown? What about something bold and colorful: blue or even a bright, cheery yellow perhaps? The choice is all yours.
Of course, you can always have your deck painted a different color at some point down the line should your tastes ever change, so you don’t need to be so particular about your initial color scheme choice. What you do need to be particular about, once again, is what materials you have your deck constructed with. Not all materials will hold paint the same, so if you want your color scheme to change down the line, be thoughtful about materials.
At the end of the day, the most important factor when it comes to your new deck will have less to do with all of the minute details you put into it and more to do with the quality of its construction. In order to get the best results with this installation, you need to have yours built by the experienced remodeling contractors at William and Son Remodeling.
