What’s the difference between a deck, a patio, and a porch?

There is a lot of confusion about the difference between a deck, a patio, and a porch. A deck is a platform made from wood attached to the outside of a house, most commonly the backside of the house. A patio is (most commonly) a concrete slab placed against the backside of the home. A porch is found at the front side of the house and is a covered shelter. Each of these serves a specific purpose. A professionally installed deck provides a considerable return on its initial investment. It is also incredibly aesthetically pleasing and turns any backyard into an entertainment hotspot.

Should you invest in a deck? 

A deck, more often than not, will cost more than a patio (though prices of both decks and patios vary depending on materials used, size, design, and so on). That said, a deck guarantees a sizeable return on your investment and makes a phenomenal aesthetic addition to your backyard. If you are planning on selling your home in the future, a deck should be a serious option for you, given that decks are a buyer-friendly addition. If you are wanting to provide yourself, your family, and your guests with a great looking space to relax and enjoy each other’s company, while also increasing your home’s curb appeal and value, then a deck is a great addition! Ultimately, however, the decision to invest in a deck should be based on your preference. If you’re not sold on a wooden deck, a patio is a great option and will serve you just as well, so your main deciding factor should be what you prefer!
