Deck renovations serve several purposes for homeowners in the United States. They allow homeowners to enjoy the outdoor space. Plus, renovated decks can increase a property’s value.

A deck's average return on investment is about 44 percent; a $20,000 deck could increase property value by nearly $9,000. Then, renovations help homeowners maintain the decks in good condition.

Small deck renovations include adding or updating the railings. Moreover, homeowners can customize them using wood, metal, or plastic.

More ambitious deck renovation projects include extending it. Sometimes, the existing deck can remain. Professionals may recommend tearing down a small deck and installing a larger model in complex cases. Homeowners benefit from discussing plans with a contractor who can secure the necessary permits, materials, and equipment for the project.

Other valuable deck renovation ideas range from installing or updating light fixtures to adding a screen around the deck. Professionals can guide homeowners on these projects, considering weight limitations and other details.
