The Financial Considerations of a New Deck

Beyond the added options for entertainment that a deck provides, it can also add untold value to your home. Yet enjoying this added equity requires that you address all of the financial implications associated with a deck installation. These include:

• Return on Investment: Typically, wood decks recoup about 70 percent of their value on resale, while composite decks may recoup only 60-65 percent. However, the added up-front savings you enjoy by using composite materials may make this type of deck a better option.
• Homeowners Insurance: Once your deck is completed, you’ll want to amend your homeowner’s insurance policy to reflect its value with the replacement costs of the deck added in.
• Property taxes: Depending upon the area you live in, your deck may cause your property taxes to increase slightly. In order to ensure that any potential increase is offset by the deck’s added value, have a local tax assessor review your plans early in the process.
