Experts say building a deck can even improve your homes resale value if you ever decide to move.

Composite deck materials

Josh Franklin, sales associate and landscape designer with Deckscapes of Virginia in Cartharpin, Virginia, says customers ask for composite materials, typically a combination of recycled plastics and wood fibers, more than wood decking, which may be more susceptible to splintering, warping and cracking.

Weve noticed a large push for composite, he says. Its lower maintenance, you dont have to stain it or maintain it on a yearly basis. Its become increasingly popular over the last five years but continues to gain popularity.

Multi-level decks

Gone are the days when customers wanted one flat surface for their decks.

Ford says he often builds multi-level decks, which he notes are different from multi-story decks, which typically feature two separate entertaining areas.

Instead, multi-level decks allow those on the main deck to easily interact from the different levels while still incorporating a more unique design.
