As above, so below: your under deck space spans the same dimensions as the deck above it, so why not double your outdoor living space?
In an under deck system, you have the benefit of a real ceiling over your head instead of the underside of the deck. This not only makes your space look complete, but it also keeps out moisture and debris that could seep in from above.
When finishing an under deck space, we install a professional drainage system to reroute water that passes through the cracks in your upper deck. This ensures the longevity of your new ceiling and protects your under deck space from the elements.
There are a multitude of ways you can finish your under deck space to make it look like a natural extension of your home. For example, you can pour a concrete slab for an easy-care flooring option, or install tile for a higher-end look and vibe. You can even extend your seating area beyond the deck ceiling for indoor/outdoor functionality.
Investing in outdoor living spaces is a powerful way to increase your home’s value. Unlike many home improvements, outdoor upgrades can recoup up to 82% or more of your investment, making it a smart financial choice.
Patios are among the most profitable investments, offering nearly 100% recouped costs. This figure is even higher when upgrading an existing patio, similar to under deck spaces. Key elements like lighting and comfortable furniture make the biggest impact.
Outdoor kitchens can yield up to 200% return on investment. Built-in grills, wet bars, fireplaces, and ample counter space are highly valued by buyers. However, avoid overdoing it with specialty items like pizza ovens, as they may not appeal to everyone.
Though many people love using their decks, they’re not ideal in all weather. There may be times when you want to enjoy some fresh air, but rain, extreme heat, or freezing temperatures simply won’t allow you to have a good time on your deck.
Instead, you can head to the under deck space to stay out of the elements while enjoying some time outside. Even better, your setup might allow you to install a fireplace so you can enjoy your cozy digs year-round.
Finishing your under deck space leaves you no shortage of design options. Depending on the size of your deck, you may have enough room for outdoor dining and cooking, a bar and big screen TV, a fire pit, pool table, or any number of activities.
Of course, you can also keep it simple with some nice outdoor seating, a swing, or a hammock and turn that space into an oasis of relaxation. Some people add climate control elements, such as ceiling fans, along with lights and built-in speakers to make their space even more comfortable and functional. The sky truly is the limit, and we’re here to help you navigate your options.
