Outdoor decks can be a great addition to any home in Queens, Staten Island, or the surrounding areas. They’ll allow you to spend more time outdoors comfortable, and you may find you and your family spending more time together there. Plus, a new deck can immediately raise the resale value of your home.
Of course, you’ll need to hire a professional that’s licensed and experienced for the job. Make sure they’ll be able to design your deck with you and build it so that it’s not just an addition to your home, but extension of your home.
At CDC Restorations, we’ll work directly with you on the design of your new deck, and we’ll make sure it’s perfect for you and your family. When you’re designing your deck, there are some important factors you’ll want to consider:
Location
The first thing you’ll want to consider when you’re designing your deck is its location and surroundings. Think of the deck’s size and shape, and how it will look with the surrounding landscape. You want your new deck to be an integral part of both your house and your landscape, and it should bridge those two parts of your home.
Your deck needs to be an extension of your home. So you’ll want it to blend naturally with your home’s current design, as well as the aesthetics of your landscape.
Access
Make sure the part of your home where your deck is being installed is convenient and accessible. Think about whether an existing door or wall will need to be removed, or if you’ll need to add one. You’ll want to have easy access to your deck, not just from the inside of your home, but to and from your yard as well.
Direction
Consider the direction that your Queens or Staten Island home faces and which direction your deck will face once its constructed. This determines the part of the day that your deck will receive the most sunlight. If there’s going to be too much sunlight pouring in when it’s evening, you may way to consider installing some lattices or a pergola to help give you some shade or protect you from winds.
Design
Your deck needs to be an extension of your home. So you’ll want it to blend naturally with your home’s current design, as well as the aesthetics of your landscape. Our contractors can make sure that your deck is a perfect extension of your home, and that it complements your landscape.
We’ll help you with the planning and the design of your new deck, help you choose the materials, and give you an honest and accurate estimate of our work before it begins.
