Ideally, decks get as much use as any other area in a home. A well-designed deck can serve as a beautiful extension of your home and even more. When planning replacement decking and railing, it’s important to consider the following:
Your Lifestyle Goals
Many homeowners add decks to their homes for different reasons. Perhaps they want to transform the extra living space into an outdoor kitchen for added functionality. They may also want to build decks so they can hold parties.
Regardless of the reason, it’s important to determine the purpose of your deck in the planning stages. Doing so will help you design it to meet your goals. Erin Isle Construction can lend you a hand for just that.
Invest in Good Foundation
Any sturdy deck starts with a strong foundation. To achieve this, you should make sure that you are using durable materials and that the overall weight of your deck is distributed equally. Rest assured that we use advanced decking and railing materials, such as composite wood fiber and recycled plastic, to create durable planks.
Consider Your Surrounding Landscape
Make sure that your deck design idea is compatible with your home’s exterior area. If you live in an urban area, then you may find that synthetic decking options are more ideal. Meanwhile, if your home is surrounded by greenery, then choosing a wood deck makes more sense. This will let you blend your home with your surroundings seamlessly.
At Erin Isle Construction, we specialize in different decking material that will suit your needs. We offer three of the most popular options available on the market such as wood, composite, and DecTec. Each one offers the natural beauty of wood without its strict maintenance.
