There are several ways that a home or commercial business owner can improve the visual (as well as the functional) aspects of their outside property. Focusing more specifically on homes, owners can build a number of outdoor structures to add style and versatility to their backyards:
- Pergolas
- Gazebos
- Porches and patios
- Decks
Since each of those items all needs their own dedicated posts, the subject of this article will deal exclusively with deck construction, installation, and repair. More specifically, which designs look and work the best on different types of properties in various locations.
What Kind Look Best in Residential Areas?
For people who live in more suburban areas, HOAs will oftentimes have a significant and final say in the styles that are allowed on your property. This makes modest and classic deck design the most commonly employed, and almost always in the rear exterior area of the property.
What Kind Look Best in Rural Areas?
In more rural locations, it is not uncommon to see decks that are built-in front yards or even those which wrap around the entire property. Since many properties have old or partial structures already standing, deck repair projects are also common.
What Kind Look Best on Commercial Properties?
Unlike residential properties, commercial additions need to serve business purposes over recreational. The appearance also needs to be more professional. This is where darker deck staining can help. Decks that provide outdoor access to smoking clients or simply an area to get a breath of fresh air can make clients feel much more comfortable.
