Is a Roof Deck Right for My Home?
Having a roof deck installed on your home provides a great space, from enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the morning sunrise to relaxing on a peaceful evening outside as the sun sets. While many residential homes do not utilize rooftop decks, this trend is emerging throughout the greater Boston area and beyond. And, for good reason!
With the right consultation and zoning requirements, a home roof deck generally adds value to your home, while also offering additional space. If you’re a homeowner seeking to relish the outdoors but have a limited backyard area, a roof deck offers the perfect solution. Imagine basking in the warmth of the sun, hosting gatherings with friends, or simply enjoying the refreshing breeze in your own private rooftop oasis. However, before embarking on this exciting project, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified architect, engineer, or an expert in roof deck installations to ensure your home can support a rooftop deck.
