Several factors go into the price of installing a deck. When creating an estimate, deck installation contractors will consider the cost of materials, labor rates, the number of hours required to complete the project, whether skilled labor, such as electricians, will be needed, the complexity of the design, and overhead costs.
A deck can increase home value as long as quality materials are used and the installation is completed properly. We pride ourselves on the return on investment we provide Northern Virginia and Richmond homeowners. Depending on what type of deck you get, we have seen the return on investment anywhere from 72% - 78%. A well-kept deck also makes a home more appealing to buyers, helping it to sell more quickly.
Decks are a good investment for a few reasons. The most obvious is that a deck adds to your enjoyment of your outdoor living areas. While your own enjoyment is one consideration, it’s not the only one. A well-designed and properly installed deck can add value to your home and make the home more attractive to potential buyers when it’s time to sell your home.
How long a deck lasts depends on the materials used and how well it is maintained. A traditional wood deck can last 20 years as long as steps are taken, such as reapplying protective sealer, to prevent damage from the weather. Composite wood decks can last much longer—up to 50 years—making them worth the additional upfront cost.

Fencing FAQs
Most of the time, fence installation will bring a modest return on investment of around 30% to 40% for homeowners. The real value in a new fence is the added appeal for potential homebuyers who may have children or pets they want to enjoy the yard. Homebuyers may also be looking for homes with privacy fencing so they can enjoy the backyard without the neighbors watching them.
Long-lasting, durable fencing materials bring the most value to homes. Materials like, aluminum, vinyl, and hardwood, are attractive and low-maintenance which homeowners love. Vinyl is particularly resistant to moisture damage and pests, while also being available in many different styles and types, which makes it easy to find a fence that matches your home's architecture.
When you are looking at fencing installation, it's only natural to consider the costs of the materials and labor. The most affordable fencing material is usually wood, especially if it's repurposed wood. Other alternative fence options, like chain link fencing will be one of the cheapest for homeowners, though it lacks privacy. For a combination of affordability, privacy, and low-maintenance, vinyl fencing is a good option.
