If you live on Lake Nacimiento, chances are, you spend a lot of time outside. After all, one of the perks of living on Lake Nacimiento is enjoying the beautiful, peaceful lake scenery! As your Lake Nacimiento real estate agent, I’d like to share some tips with you on how to improve your deck setting without spending a ton of money.

Deck makeovers are popular among homeowners, because they improve outdoor living conditions for when hosting parties or relaxing on your own, and they increase home value! Central California homebuyers love outdoor spaces. It gives them a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather we experience here in Central California, especially if it includes beautiful sights of Lake Nacimiento.

Because outdoor spaces are gaining so much popularity among buyers, House Logic recently shared five deck makeover ideas for under $300. Here’s a summary of your options:

  • Add solar lighting. Eco-friendly, energy-efficient home upgrades are also gaining popularity with buyers, and with today being Earth Day, now is especially a great time to incorporate green trends into your home! Solar lighting lights up your deck after the sun sets, but for no extra money on your electric bill. It’s a win-win for everyone. They come in numerous attractive options too, such as paper lanterns, carriage lights or old-fashioned mason jar replicas.
  • Add a landing strip to the bottom of your deck. In other words, dress up the bottom of your deck and the beginning of your yard with some attractive stones. Flagstone is an affordable option, and it’s easy to install yourself. It’ll also prevent mud, or trampled dead grass, from forming where there is heavy foot traffic.
  • Install a privacy screen. This is great for Lake Nacimiento homeowners who want some extra privacy from neighbors, without taking away from visual appeal. Some affordable, attractive options include bamboo fencing, lattice panels in wood or plastic, and trellises for growing plants, vines and flowers on.
  • Wash and refinish your deck. Sometimes, all it takes to increase your home value and outdoor appeal is some TLC on the deck you already have. A coat of deck sealant will ensure that your wood deck looks great for years to come. Look for a cleaning solution that is safe for the environment, and check the forecast before you start.
  • Paint a design on your deck. This makeover is like adding a rug to the deck, but one that is permanent, won’t blow away, and won’t get worn down after a while. Choose a pattern that is aesthetically attractive, but also neutral enough to appeal to the majority of people, especially if you plan on selling your Lake Nacimiento home soon. A good standard paint job goes a long way, too.

These affordable deck makeovers will add visual appeal and value to your Lake Nacimiento home in no time! Ready to sell your Lake Nacimiento home? Ready to buy a Lake Nacimiento home? Contact me, your Lake Nacimiento real estate agent!
