Choosing the Right Materials
Our deck building services start with our experts helping you choose the right deck materials. Your two primary options are wood and composite materials.
Wood Decking
Pressure-treated wood decking is a popular option among homeowners and commercial property owners alike. It is a quality material that looks stunning and adds significant curb appeal to any property.
Depending on the wood chosen, wood decks can be more affordable to install upfront than composite ones, although more premium wood options like Ipe can increase costs.
Wood deck options are ideal for those who want a classic deck look.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is made of a blend of materials, commonly recycled wood fibers and plastics. The result is a low-maintenance material that is extremely durable, resistant to warping and rotting, and generally has lower upkeep costs than wood alternatives.
Composite decking typically lasts longer than wood options, with some having a lifespan of over 30 years. This longevity often makes these decks more expensive upfront to install. Since composite materials generally have lower annual upkeep costs, the long-term cost of high-quality composite decks can be lower than that of wooden ones.
These decks are ideal for people wanting a long-lasting deck that requires minimal upkeep.
