Patios are among the most popular outdoor configurations. They are considered an expensive affair but can significantly increase the value of your house. It is estimated that patio installation can add 8–12 % home value and earn a return on investment of over 80%.
A well-designed and constructed patio can give your home’s curb appeal a boost and offers a better space for outdoor family activities.
Here are some ways a patio can enhance your home’s value.
Flagstone versus Concrete
Patios can be built with various materials ranging from concrete, brick, hardwood, and ceramic tile, flagstones, or natural stone pavers.
Poured concrete can be vulnerable to cracking and erosion in harsh weather climates. On the other hand, flagstones can last much longer because you can replace the individual stone if one breaks.
It doesn’t really matter what type of material you use as long as you keep your patio within the same frame as comparable homes.
Renovating Your Existing Patio
If you already have a patio installed, then make sure that it is in neat condition. Powerwash your patio to clean off all the dirt and debris. Ensure proper concrete repair and restoration and stone repointing services to protect it from discoloration, cracks, and crumbling.
Contrasting Proportions and Materials
An out-of-proportion patio can detract from your home’s value. Make sure to set your patio’s proportions in line with the rest of your house so that it looks like an original part of the house and not a sore afterthought.
Vignette Staging Techniques
You can add value by creating vignettes to set up a mood while showcasing your patio. This will help potential buyers picture how they can use the patio space for different activities such as entertaining guests or simply spending family time.
