A deck is an investment like any other home improvement, so when you set a budget it helps to know what return to expect. There's no question it will add to how much you enjoy your home: it creates an entirely new living area on the property and turns the outdoors into an extension of the house.

General Deck Value Estimates in Michigan

A deck addition in Livonia is one of the best improvements a person can make to their home in regards to adding value. It’s all about what appeals to buyers and a well-made deck is something that can add real wow-factor as well as functionality. Below are a few statistics on how much value a deck adds to a home.

· HGTV has estimated that homeowners should see a return of 65-90%.

· Yahoo Finance stated that a $10,000 wood deck typically add $8,600 to the resale value – that’s approximately an 82% return.

· In 2007 Remodeling Magazine found that a wood deck addition yielded the best return on investment, adding $8,835 to the value.

· A wood deck averages just $15 per square foot, while finishing the inside of a 2,000 sqft home runs $85 per square foot.

The results above are only a few of many similar findings. Since it's clear that wood decks can bring genuine value to a property, let's look at the factors that have the biggest effect on that value.

Factors That Affect the Value of a Deck

Where you live – Location has a major bearing on what a deck is worth, whether you look at the broad picture, such as your region or state, or narrow it down to your own neighborhood. A deck can make your home far more appealing if the climate supports outdoor activity through much of the year. Regional construction costs are another factor in value.

Construction – Naturally, how the deck is built, particularly its size and the materials chosen, strongly affects both its cost and its value. Homeowners who do it themselves and build their own deck stand to see the largest return on investment. That return shrinks, though, if you need to purchase tools for the job or if the deck ends up poorly built.

Added features – Extras can sometimes raise a deck's value considerably, but it's wise to avoid over-improving. When boosting property value is the main goal, piling on expensive bells and whistles will probably cost more than you'd get back in added value. On the other hand, if you intend to stay in your home and use the deck for a good while, the extra cost may well be worth it.

Even more than the value it adds, a deck is about the enjoyment it brings. Build one that fits your needs and you can be confident you'll get your money's worth.

How you plan to use your deck shapes every part of its design, which is why each custom project is built entirely around you and the home you live in. The choices and design options are endless, and the finished deck, carefully crafted and fully custom, is your vision brought to life. To get there, we ask questions like these. Do you host guests often? Would lighting help draw people from inside out onto the deck and keep the evening going longer? Do you like decks with several tiers, or one wide open level?

Do you know why Winter is the best time of year to build a new deck?

Craig Niner with Supreme Deck explains when is the most opportune time to build your new deck and why.

Many of our Livonia Michigan homeowners ask me when is the best time to build a new deck? Many of you may think that the best time to build a deck is the spring, but the truth is, the best time to consider building a new deck may be in the winter. The best way to explain the reasoning behind a winter deck construction is what i would refer to as the “give and take” of the project. Give and take refers to the use of pressure treated wood during the winter months. The give refers to the woods expansion, and the take refers to the woods contraction that is caused by the effects of varying outdoor temperatures on the wood itself.

The first thing you have to remember when considering building any type of deck or other outdoor structure, whether the decking boards you choose are composite, PVC, vinyl, IPE or hardwoods the foundation of your structure will be constructed using pressure treated pine or another pressure treated wood. Wood curing is important to understand in relation to the wood’s natural tendency to “give and take”, and curing which occurs over the winter months offers many important benefits.

Pressure treated wood has a 50% moisture content when you initially build. This fresh lumber is sometimes referred to among builders as “green”. The winter has less humidity and thus the pressure treated wood will stabilize itself and dry more consistently and evenly when you build in the winter. On the other end of the spectrum a summer deck construction exposes the pressure treated wood to higher humidity conditions. In addition, when drying in the hot sun, pressure treated wood will undergo expansion and contraction which can cause cracking, warping and other damage to the wood itself. Due to the orientation of the sun during the winter months, the sun doesn’t beat down on your deck, and the pressure treated wood that holds the key to your project’s structural integrity will not undergo these negative effects.

Another benefit of building in winter is you will also experience less wait time and backlogs which are typical in spring and summer projects. Our typical waiting list is 8 weeks in the height of the season, during the winter you are likely going to cut that wait time in half. A winter project also causes less lifestyle interruption because homeowners typically spend less time outdoors and less time participating in outdoor activities during the colder months of the year. You will also experience less deterioration of the ground, and less turf damage during the winter months because of the dormancy period that Columbus landscapes experience through the cooler months.

Keep in mind that Supreme Deck can also build your outdoor structure combination in stages. Winter is the perfect time to start the first stage of your desired outdoor living project. If you are considering a deck and patio combination for example, you can take advantage of our staged building option and build the deck this winter and then we can add the patio later into the spring.

History of Livonia, Michigan

Livonia is a city in the northwest part of Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan. Livonia is a large suburb with an array of traditional neighborhoods (most of which were built in the 1950s and 1960s) connected to the metropolitan area by freeways. The population was 96,942 at the 2010 census, making it Michigan's ninth largest municipality. The municipality is a part of Metro Detroit, and is located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest of downtown Detroit, and less than two miles (3 km) from the western city limits of Detroit (Redford Township lies between the two). In 2017 Livonia will be the home of its newest resident Amazon warehouse at Schoolcraft and Eckles.

During the days of the city being a township, many small communities have existed. One of these was Elmwood, initially known as McKinley's Station. It was a stop on the Detroit, Lansing and Northern Railroad. It had a post office from 1858 until 1906.^[9] There was a post office in the township named Giltedge from 1899 until 1902.

Livonia was incorporated into a city on May 23, 1950, by vote of the citizens of the township. A significant motivation was to gain tax revenues from the DRC (Detroit Race Course), which was Michigan's only thoroughbred horse race track; it closed in 1998. Livonia is was home to the first outdoor mall called Wonderland Mall. Livonia has 3 high schools Churchill, Stevenson and Franklin. In 2017 Craig Niner and Rob Schepis purchased the building of Shooters Gun range at 29500 Six Mile which will be the new home to Supreme Deck, Inc & The Stain Depot. Both want to give back to the city in which they grew up in. The building will be one of Trex's largest showrooms for deck displays.
