There is a lot to consider when planning a rooftop deck, but is it worth it? The answer is a definite YES. Rooftop decks provide a return on your investment when done right and with the right materials.

As you can see, rooftop decks are not only an on-trend home feature but a staple in high-end housing. Owners and developers know that rooftop decks can add a view for interior units and extend useful living space on all homes, therefore increasing resale value and rental income.

Commercial properties are incorporating rooftop spaces into residential and office buildings, for the benefit of residents and workers, to attract more and better tenants.

Whether you want to bring some nature into your urban environment or host candlelit soirees, the following ideas will help you to create the perfect vibe for your roof deck location. If you live in an apartment with a shared roof deck, be sure that your planned enhancements conform to your building’s rules before executing on them.
