If your home doesn't have a deck or patio, you may be missing out. That's why 2024 is a perfect year to install a pool patio to enjoy your outdoors more. In addition, this feature can increase your home value. Read on to see how contacting a pool patio professional can give you a greater resale value that you'll love.

Versatility

You'd be amazed just how versatile your concrete pool patio can be. You may think concrete is a plain and boring material that is only useful because of its hardness. However, concrete can be shaped and leveled as needed. A solid pool patio contractor can add designs and mix different colors into your concrete. If you want a pool patio that matches the color of your home theme, that's easy to do to make your outdoor space even more attractive and vibrant. Do you want to implant your family's last name so everyone knows whose house it belongs to? Your concrete patio is a perfect space for such a design.

Safety

You want to ensure your family and friends are always safe when gallivanting around your pool. This type of material reduces the risk of slip and falls. After all, the pool and its area will be wet, and having a resistant surface can reduce the likelihood of injuries and fatalities. The right contractor can use a textured or stamped surface to improve everyone's grip and traction when they walk on the surface.

Popularity

When you opt for a home feature that's extremely popular with other people, it's bound to help increase your overall property value. According to a report from the National Association of Realtors, a new patio is one of the top five projects likely to increase your home's resale value. How much resale value it'll increase by can vary, especially depending on the part of the country you live in. However, you can expect such an upgrade to bring in more money if you're in a hot climate. After all, beautiful homes in hot climates tend to have a pool and deck so people can enjoy their outdoor spaces year-round. The design, size, and construction quality of your new patio space will determine how much resale value it has.

Durability

Concrete is often used in construction because it's durable and strong. According to IBISWorld, the concrete market had a net worth of around $76 billion, likely due to such durability. Its strength and resilience make it the ideal material for your outdoor space, regardless of the environment. Unlike stone or wood, concrete usually doesn't rot or fade over time. As long as it has a sealant, it usually won't crack either, and if so, those cracks can easily be filled in with more concrete material. When you build something in concrete, it can last decades with little maintenance. As a result of such durability, you'll save money as a homeowner because you won't constantly have to pay for maintenance and repairs compared to other materials like wood.

Function

Your outdoor patio is a very functional space. Firstly, it's the perfect location to enjoy nature at its fullest. Even if you're not a swimmer, simply sitting around your pool patio can bring joy, fresh air, and proper relaxation. It's also the perfect spot to entertain your loved ones with barbecues, birthday parties, and happy hours. Have fun with swim races when everyone gathers around your patio pool. You can add seating such as lounge chairs and couches to make the area more comfortable and inviting for larger gatherings. The options to increase the functionality of your outdoor space by installing a pool patio are endless.

If you are hesitant to add a pool patio, there's no need to hold off on this upgrade. This feature will enhance your overall life quality because it will make your outdoor space more enjoyable and accessible. If you end up selling your home, the addition of a pool patio can increase the resale value. However, if it's a home you plan to stay in for decades, a concrete patio will last a lifetime.
