Decks in Michigan: A Great Investment

During these uncertain economic times, almost everyone in Southeast Michigan has home values on their mind. And while it may not seem like the right time to undertake home improvement projects, certain investments are likely to significantly increase your home’s value for relatively little cost. In other words, adding a deck to your home is a smart move. And Cedar Works Custom Deck Builder would love to help you design and build the right deck for your family’s needs and budget.

According to Remodeling magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report, building a deck is a great way to get the most out of your home improvement investment. The report considers the percentage of a home improvement project’s costs that are likely to be recouped at resale and shows that adding a deck or outdoor living space to your home is one of the top 5 ways to increase your home’s resale value in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne and Livingston County’s,

Homeowners who add a deck to their properties recoup on average nearly 81 percent of the project’s cost when they sell the home, according to the report. Today’s more money-conscious consumers are looking to save money by spending more time at home, and a deck provides a great space for relaxing and entertaining. An outdoor living space really gives homeowners the maximum amount of satisfaction by both adding value and improving the home’s atmosphere. Depending on what kind of outdoor living space you choose to build, you can use your new deck for most – or all – of the year, even in Michigan. A new deck will make your home seem larger and more inviting – all for a price that suits you.

For the upcoming year of 2009,  building a deck in Oakland County Michigan May be considered a luxury to some, or and necessity for others.  Like everything else in  world “decks are on sale”.  And 400 square foot deck built in Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, or Washtenaw county will cost  $7500 for cedar, $10000.00 for composite (Trex), and $12,000.00 for PVC materials.   These prices are down 15% from 4-5 years ago while the price of materials and expenses have increased  10- 20 %  in recent years.  Great deal time to buy?
