One of the best investments you can make is to add a new patio to your outdoor space in Michigan. A patio can add around 8% to 10% value to your home and potentially earn you around 80% ROI. This feature can make your property more appealing to potential homebuyers if you decide to sell one day and allow you to do so at a higher price! However, various features can impact the value of your patio, including its condition, size, design, and materials. You also want to ensure it matches the style and layout of your property so it won't look out of place in your outdoor living space. Additionally, hiring professionals to construct your patio will ensure it is installed correctly and lasts for years to come.


Patios usually add 8% to 10% value to your home, with around 80% ROI.

A patio is a valuable addition to your outdoor living space that can make your property more appealing to potential homebuyers if you decide to sell one day. This feature typically adds around 8% to 10% to your home value and comes with approximately 80% ROI. This is a great return on your investment, considering the extended living space it provides in your outside area. Not only are people more inclined to purchase a property with a patio, but it also allows you to sell at a higher price!


Factors That Affect the Value of a Patio

There's no denying that a new patio will boost your property value, but how much it adds depends on various factors. Your patio's condition, size, design, and materials are vital factors that determine how much value it will add to your property. A large patio may be more valuable than a smaller one because it can provide enough space to host more people and be customized with other features. A well-maintained patio is also more valuable than an old one that looks worse for wear. Meanwhile, the design and materials of your patio can affect its value. A good design paired with high-quality materials like pavers can give you a patio with a great ROI!

Some features you can add along with your patio include an outdoor kitchen, lighting, and a fire pit.


Make sure your patio fits the style and layout of your property.

Another thing you must ensure to get the most out of your patio is its overall aesthetic. You want your patio to match your property's style, layout, and proportion so it doesn't look out of place. While a bigger-sized patio can be more valuable, you'll also want it to be in proportion to the space in your outdoor living area. Its layout should also follow the natural flow of movement in your outdoor space so you and your guests can fully maximize it with ease. Not only that, you don't want your patio to negatively stick out against the age and style of your property. For example, a more modern, sleek design may not complement an older, more rustic home!


It's best to hire professionals to build your patio to ensure it is done right.

If you want to ensure your patio is built to perfection, hire professionals to do it. Experts have the skills and know-how to get the job done right, making sure your patio is made to withstand the test of time. Creating a solid base and foundation for the patio is crucial, and they are armed with the right tools to ensure it sits on stable ground. Plus, the quality of the installation can impact the value it has on a house, so hiring pros will help you get the most out of your investment!
