DECKING

NEW DECKING OR REPLACEMENTS

A new deck significantly boosts your home's value and curb appeal, creating expanded, versatile outdoor living space for entertaining, dining, or relaxing, while modern materials offer low maintenance, durability, and enhanced safety, providing years of enjoyment and a strong return on investment. It creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, a popular feature for buyers, and offers a private retreat for family wellness and entertaining, making your home more functional and attractive. 

Wooden Decking

  • Pressure-Treated (PT) Wood: Budget-friendly, typically pine chemically treated to resist rot, but requires maintenance (staining/sealing) and can splinter.
  • Cedar/Redwood: Naturally resistant to insects and decay, beautiful appearance, but softer and more expensive than PT wood.
  • Tropical Hardwoods (e.g., Ipe): Extremely dense, durable, and long-lasting, often considered the most resilient wood, but costly and harder to work with. 

 

Composite Decking

 
  • Low Maintenance: Occasional cleaning with soap and water; no annual sanding, staining, or sealing.
  • Durability & Longevity: Resists rot, mold, mildew, insects, splintering, and warping, lasting 25-30 years or more.
  • Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled wood and plastics, reducing waste and demand for new timber.
  • Aesthetics & Design: Available in many colors, textures, and finishes, mimicking natural wood or offering modern styles.
  • Safety: Splinter-free, slip-resistant, and safer for kids and pets; some brands offer fire-rated options.
  • Cost-Effective Long-Term: Higher initial cost offset by maintenance and replacement savings over its lifespan.
  • Weather Resistant: Stable in extreme temperatures, UV-resistant, and expands/contracts less than wood.

 

Key Benefits

    • Longer Lifespan: A new deck built with quality materials lasts much longer (25-50 years for composite) than a repaired or aging wood deck (10-20 years).
    • Design Flexibility: A full replacement offers a chance to redesign, expand, add features like lighting, or
    • Enhanced Safety: Eliminates structural issues, rot, and unstable supports, ensuring a secure outdoor space that meets current building codes.
    • Modern Materials: Allows switching to composites or PVC, which resist rot, insects, and fading better than wood, reducing upkeep.
