BUILDING A PORCH IS ADDING VALUE

Many homeowners wonder if building a porch for their house will increase its value, and the answer is an overwhelming yes! Although porches are considered a luxury, rather than a necessity, it’s reported that homeowners will receive an average of 84% return on their investment.

FAQ about Custom Decks

  • What’s the difference between porches and decks?

    Porches and decks are very similar in structure. However, porches tend to have a roof while decks are usually completely open, no roof needed. For this reason, building a porch in your home generally costs more than building a deck.

  • How much does deck railing cost?

    The cost to install a deck railing depends on the type and material you choose. For example, glass railings are considered more expensive than aluminum railings.

  • Can you pressure wash ipe decks?

    Some deck installation experts say it’s okay to power wash ipe decks while others say it’s damaging. Still, if you decide to pressure wash an ipe deck, make sure the setting on the pressure washer is not higher than 1200psi to guarantee no harm to the deck.
