Upgrades for Your Home’s Exterior

Decks come in all shapes and sizes, and in Phoenix Arizona the latest trend is a walk deck. You may already be familiar with walk decks, just not with the name. A walk deck is often elongated, sometimes wrapping all the way around the building. It derives its name because there is room to go for a walk on it. With these stylish and serviceable decks homeowners can actually walk the entire circumference of their home without being exposed to the elements.

Walk decks are very popular on Arizona homes since there is so much beautiful scenery to take in, often from every side of the home. One of the enjoyable uses of a walk deck is being able to go for a stroll while being under a roof to protect you from the elements, whether its rain, snow, or intense heat from the Arizona sun.

Walk decks can be just large enough for walking, or may have larger areas for sitting or dining. You can even have a walking deck on each level of your home. If it’s large enough a walk deck can become an outdoor family room or dining room.

Businesses, shopping centers and malls often make use of walking decks both to beautify the structure and to protect customers from the elements while providing exterior access to restaurants, stores and offices.

To add a walk deck to an existing structure calls for some architectural planning. Since the roof over your walk deck needs to flow seamlessly from the roof of your home or office you should speak with a Phoenix Arizona roofing contractor who is experienced in adding this type of deck onto a building.

A roofing contractor must first inspect your structure and test the load capacity to be assured that it can handle the added weight of a walk deck. The roofing company must also be knowledgeable in what materials are best suited to your climate and what type of drainage system will be needed to remove rain water and to channel it away from your foundation.
