Hey guys, it's Springtime! Roll up those shirtsleeves and get to work. Many homeowners are looking for great projects designed to enhance their lives as well as their homes. One of the best improvements I can recommend is adding a deck. this is a terrific way to increase the living space and the value of your home. In these beautiful warm months a deck is a place to enjoy nature, entertain family and friends and work on that tan.

A deck also dramatically improves the appearance of your home and increase its value at the same time. For approximately $10,000+ most homewoners saw an 85% return on the total cost of their deck projects. Begin by doing some vial planning. Ask yourself a few questions: Whre are you going to build the deck? How larage is it going to be? What materials will you use? Are you going to do the job yourself or hire someone?

Please check with local authorities to determine what permits and safety inspections may be required when building a deck. Having complied with all local requirements becomes of paramount importance when you go to sell your home in thte future. Hiring a reputable contractor can save you hours of research. they are usually equipped with the right tools, information and contacts to get the job done right.

This is my favoarite time of year. I feel so energized and ready to tackle those tasks I've left undone during the cold winter months. I hope you feel the same way - let's flex those muscles!
