If you’re still on the fence about going through with that big outdoor upgrade you’ve been dreaming of, consider these 7 common reasons why our customers have turned their backyard visions into reality:

1. Increase the value of your home. Adding a deck or other outdoor structure is a great way to add value to your home–making it less of an expense and more of an investment. The exact value that you will add to your home ultimately depends upon the size and type of structure that you add, but this number will usually be in the thousands. Moreover, as any real estate agent will tell you, the vast majority of homebuyers make decisions based not only on the real, concrete assessed value of a home, but on personal factors that they find charming or that they believe will add to their comfort and enjoyment of the home. Decks, patios, and outdoor spaces are an excellent example of this type of detail. Therefore, if you ever do one day sell your home, there is a chance that the actual value that your outdoor upgrade adds to the home is far more than what an assessor will tell you upfront.
2. Enjoy your outdoor space to its fullest potential. Decks and other backyard additions are also a great way of ensuring that you are able to enjoy the great outdoors in style in comfort. From cookouts to late-night conversations to an early morning cup of joe, your deck will provide the perfect backdrop for so many activities. What better way to enjoy sunshine and fresh air then from your very own beautiful and unique outdoor space?
3. Entertain more guests–and offer a better experience. Having a hospitable outdoor space is a great way improve the quality and capacity of every home event that you plan. Make sure that your guests are comfortable, happy, and maybe even a little jealous by installing a quality outdoor upgrade with the help of Diamond Decks. Whether you hope to cook a delicious meal in your outdoor kitchen, share a card game from the comfort of your patio, or host a summertime get together on your deck, we can help you build the space you´ve been dreaming of.
4. Upgrading can be easy and affordable. An outdoor upgrade is one of the most affordable and least intrusive ways of adding something special to your home. A home expansion or remodeling, for example, will limit your ability to enjoy your entire home for quite some time while also requiring a much larger up front investment to cover the costs of labor and materials. A deck, patio, outdoor kitchen, or other outdoor construction can be built in far less time, and for a lower and more adaptable cost. This is especially true if you opt to build with the help of Diamond Decks: we pride ourselves on making high-quality constructions built quickly and affordably.
5. Beat the summer heat. Adding an outdoor deck is a great way to enjoy a cookout or and a cold drink without warming up your home and driving up your air conditioning bill by cooking in doors. This applies especially for those thinking of installing an outdoor kitchen!
6. Give yourself extra space. Incorporating an extra outdoor structure–especially if covered or enclosed–is a great way to give yourself more space for storage, as well. This can help declutter your space and make your entire home feel more open and inviting. Of course, as mentioned beforehand, this extra space comes in especially handy when you wish to entertain guests!
7. Beautify your home. An outdoor upgrade can make your entire home look more welcoming and beautiful. With the help of an experienced outdoor construction expert, you can find the perfect style to compliment your house, giving you one more aspect of your home that you can take pride in.
