Planning on Building a Deck this year?

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit Central Realty - Delaware Home Sales

 Great!  You will be adding equity and improving the overall enjoyment of your home.  There are a few things you should consider before you start digging holes.  First, adding a deck will not double the value of your home, but it will add over all equity to your home.  You can expect to recover 90%-110% of your overall investment in the project.

A deck is a great investment

 

There is a second thing you must be aware of... that is the code. What kind of code am I talking about?  Local building codes of course! 

Attached is a link to the New Castle County Code requirements for deck building.  If you are not part of the Bear Delaware network your local municipalities codes may vary widely, It is important to realize if you choose to make improvements without following local building codes the municipality may even have the right to make you remove the structure!

 So if you plan to build this summer, get out there and build away!  You will be adding value in your home and be able to enjoy the beautiful Delaware weather!
