New deck! Reale Estate/Construction question
screaming:
Hey there,
I'm looking for a little info for this wonderful fantastic patio/deck idea that I have for my new house.
I have a deck now but it needs to be replaced. The new one will be bigger, about 25'x50', with half of that enclosed, and possibly heated (3 season). I hope that I can get away with doing it myself and with "free help" from my friends and family. ;D
I know this is a very open-ended question, but how much $$ am I looking at spending?
The second part is, how much would I be looking at for then as return if/when I sell the house? Not much, I assume.
Is there anyone out there with this sort of experience?
Signed,
Newly-Poor Homeowner

More than you think. My enclosed 10x20 porch probably cost $500-$600 in materials all told, though I didn't keep track of how much I spent.

Is that with windows or just screens? I think I want windows in mine..

Stingray:
That was just screens. I did eventually buy plexigless for the winter. That was another $250ish.

I built a cedar deck. One section was 36'x x 10'. the other section was 24' x 8'. The structure was all pressure treated, while the surface and railing were cedar. All told, that came out to at least $3000 (CDN) with no labour costs.
I would imagine if you made the whole deck out of pressure treated wood, costs would run about 1/3 to 1/2 less.
No idea on the heated room. The floor will prolly need to be cement to keep the heat in.
