Benefits of Adding a Deck Cover to Your Home
Summertime in northern Virginia and eastern West Virginia provides many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and warm weather on your deck. You can maximize your use of this space by installing a patio cover. These deck additions offer several great benefits, including:
1. Increasing Your Home’s Value and Appeal
A deck cover boosts your home’s value because it’s a feature potential buyers want and can enjoy as soon as they move in. Also, these structures are customizable to your style since you pick the design, materials and colors. Whether you add a pergola that harmonizes with your home’s exterior or choose an option with more architectural detail to break up a long roofline, any option you choose will enhance your home’s visual appeal.
2. Adding More Living Space and Time to Enjoy It
Covering your deck or patio protects you from the weather’s whims and creates a multiseason outdoor living space. You can watch the snow or leaves fall or let the kids have an outside summer sleepover. You’ll also be able to grill or use the space as an outdoor kitchen, even if there’s precipitation.
It’s also possible to enclose the space for added comfort or convert it into a sunroom in the future.
3. Providing Valuable Shade
As a northern Virginia or eastern West Virginia homeowner, you know how hot summers can get. A patio cover can shield you, your family and your guests from the sun, offering more comfort and safety from overexposure to UV rays. Add a fan to cool the space even more.
As a bonus, the roof can prevent the sun’s beams from hitting your windows and heating your home’s interior. This feature can directly translate to lower cooling bills.
4. Protecting Your Other Investments
A patio or deck cover helps safeguard your deck and its furnishings by sheltering your surface and belongings, which leads to longer life spans and fewer replacements. Similarly, the right solution can limit sun rays from reaching interior furnishings to prevent premature fading. A sturdy deck cover can also help defend patio doors and windows beneath it against damage caused by hail or storm debris.
