Patios Are Worth The Investment in Silver Spring MD

Really nice patios are worth the investment in Silver Spring MD. Not only do homeowners get the value of enjoying them, patios are one of the top 10 features buyers in Silver Spring MD want in their future home.

Additionally, more than half of surveyed buyers in a recent study said that they would be

willing to pay a premium for a house with a with a well-designed, constructed, and maintained patio. Buyers see a well-built patio as an extra living space, with flexible uses - and they are right.

To get the most out of your patio investment, Realtors say that you’ll need to:

  • Build a patio that is proportionate with the rest of your property. A huge patio, with little yard space can actually detract from the value of your home. A small patio within a large yard will look like a cheap after-thought.
  • Design your patio within the boundaries of what is expected in your neighborhood. Building a patio that is too upscale for your neighborhood will not net the return on your investment. If you go cheap and basic on your patio, when your neighbors are not, your home may be harder to sell.
  • Locate your patio close to the house, with the kitchen close to the door leading to the patio. Ideally, the closer the better - 15 to 30 steps from the kitchen to the patio door.
  • Build a patio in an area that offers more privacy (i.e., not in front of the house). A patio that affords some privacy lends itself to being used more often.

Angies List Super Service Awared 2013

They did a retaining wall. It's perfect. They showed up when they said they were going to and finished the job up nicely. I hadn't worked with them before...I have some jobs in the works, and I plan on reusing them...I would call on them again...
