Strong Resale Recovery
In the 2025 Zonda Cost vs. Value Report, a typical composite deck addition recovered about 89% of its cost at resale (national average), and a wood deck addition about 95%. Composite projects usually cost more upfront, so the percentage can trail wood even when the dollar value added is substantial. Most homebuyers rate a deck as essential or desirable (NAHB). Results vary by market and year.
