When considering a deck addition, homeowners may wonder which type of deck would best suit their home. Repair-Home.com's "How to Build a Deck" section expertly addresses these questions and many more to help homeowners learn how to build a deck that fits their individual tastes and lifestyles. This section also features deck repair and maintenance advice and connects homeowners to experienced deck contractors who can provide further assistance.
Repair-Home.com, a top interactive home services site, urges visitors to make their deck an extension of their home: "Everything in your home--all the amenities--helps define who you are. And the deck is no exception. It is your place of leisure and recreation. How many times have you wanted to nestle up on a lounge chair and read a book? Or have guests over and enjoy a barbeque? What about putting on some music and basking in the sun? Whatever your habits, decks and patios provide you with a place to do the things that make you, 'you.'" Knowing where to build a deck--and which deck--is as important as knowing how to build one. A variety of options are available, including a wood or composite deck or an above ground pool deck.
Adding a deck onto a home is a good way to "create more outdoor living space," says home improvement expert Bob Vila.
