Planning Your Alamo Deck Construction in Fall/Winter? -Create a Dream Space to Enjoy Next Summer
Over time, a deck wears down. With UV rays beating down on the boards, eventually, the once gorgeous wood warps and fades. Weather can also cause dry rot and splintering. Railings become weak from having too many guests leaning on them. With the advent of fall, now is a fantastic time to move forward with constructing a new deck or refurbishing an old one. School is in full swing. Schedules are busy, leaving less time for parties outside. Imagine having a brand new outdoor oasis ready for the first breath of spring air!
Plan now for next year’s festivities when you begin deck construction on your Alamo home during the off-season. With a little preparation, you can take your outdoor porch from drab to fabulous, and the experienced team at Schafer Construction can help bring your dream to reality.
Questions to Ask When Planning Your Deck Construction
As you wind down for the season, remember to give your deck a good cleaning with quality products and a pressure washer. Do a quick inspection and look for signs of wear and tear. While you are at it, why not create your ideal retreat with these simple questions:
- How DoI Use My Deck? How Would I Like to Use It? These may be the most important questions you can ask. Do you enjoy entertaining frequently? Do you prefer quiet moments with just a handful of friends? Are you the neighborhood grill king or queen? You need the best size that fits your lifestyle needs.
- Where Should I Build the Deck? Think about where it would look best with your home’s layout and landscaping. You may want to center it or place it slightly offset to your patio door. Consider if you would like to have a multi-storied deck.
- How Big Do I Need It to Be? Determining how your new deck will be used and where it will need to be built will give you a guide for size. If you like to have parties, then you want plenty of room for tables, chairs and your grill. Different shapes can get you extra square footage for your needs.
