Wood and plastic composite not far behind, study shows Some homeowners are hesitant to invest in home improvements in today's uncertain housing market, worried that they would be pouring their money into a black hole of depreciating real estate.
But the "Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report 2007" offers some numbers that could help win over this group. The study compares the homeowner's cost for 29 remodeling projects with what those improvements would add to the resale price of a house. Both wood plastic composite floor fared well in the latest version of the report, which was released in November by Remodeling magazine, a sister publication to Professional Deck Builder.
In the previous version (2006) of the report, researchers had looked at only one deck project: a 16x20 deck supported by 4x4 posts on concrete piers, constructed with pressure-treated joists and composite decking and matching railing. Other features included a three-step stair, as well as a planter and a built-in bench made with the same material as the decking.
The deck was classified as a "midrange" project because of its simple design and small size.Recognizing that pressure-treated decking is more common than composite decking, the designers of the 2007 study added a second deck project, exactly like the one described above except with pressure-treated wood substituted for the wood plastic product.
It was classified as a "midrange" project and the composite deck was then reclassified as "upscale" because of its relatively higher cost.
