A deck addition is a great investment and it has a good return. Outdoor living spaces are sought after, which can give you a competitive edge if you ever want to sell your house. A deck addition can increase functional outdoor living space, creating a place for spending time with family and friends.<\/p>\n

In most cases, building a deck requires a permit. Building codes and regulations will vary slightly from city to city, but it\u2019s likely that obtaining a permit for your construction project is necessary. For example, decks that are higher than 2 feet above grade will require a building permit. The first thing you should do, before hiring deck contractors or attempting a DIY deck-building weekend, is check with your local municipality and find out what is required.<\/p>\n
