LESS REFINISHING · MORE OUTDOOR TIME
Composite decking
A consistent, factory-made finish with a range of colors and grain patterns. Explore Trex and Fiberon options for a deck that suits your home.
- No routine sanding, staining, or sealing for the selected capped composite products
- Regular cleaning and manufacturer care instructions still apply
- Compare board profiles, colors, railing choices, and product-specific warranties
A good fit if…
You want a coordinated look with less ongoing refinishing. We’ll help choose a product and color for your space, sun exposure, and budget.
NATURAL TEXTURE · TIMELESS CHARACTER
Cedar wood decking
Real wood brings natural grain, variation, and warmth to an outdoor space. Choose a finish that complements your home and the look you want over time.
- Natural board-to-board color and grain variation
- Can be stained or finished for your preferred appearance
- Plan for routine cleaning and periodic finish maintenance
A good fit if…
You love the feel and character of real wood and are comfortable with the care it needs. We’ll review finish choices and maintenance expectations.
Product availability, care instructions, and warranties vary by line and finish. Composite decking still needs cleaning and can become hot in direct sun. Review physical samples and the selected manufacturer’s guidance before choosing.

YOUR DECK QUESTIONS
Make the next step easier.
Should I choose composite or cedar?
Start with the look you prefer and the maintenance you’re comfortable with. Composite offers a factory-made finish with less refinishing, while cedar has natural wood character and needs ongoing care. We can compare the complete project options for your home.
Can you reuse my existing deck framing?
We need to inspect it first. The condition and suitability of the footings, framing, connections, and overall design determine whether resurfacing is appropriate or a rebuild makes more sense.
Can the plan include stairs and railings?
Yes. We’ll review deck height, access, layout, and the railings or stairs appropriate to your project, then include the agreed details in the proposal.
What affects the cost of a deck?
Size, height, site access, foundation and framing needs, decking product, railings, stairs, and demolition all influence the scope. A site review helps us prepare a useful estimate.
How do I care for composite decking?
Keep it clear of debris and follow the care guide for your exact product. Cleaning methods, tools, and approved products vary. Trex care guidance and Fiberon care guidance are useful starting points.
How do we get started?
Tell us your location, approximate deck size, whether you’re replacing an existing deck, and a few ideas for the space. We’ll follow up to discuss the project and arrange the next step.
Your next favorite place
could be right outside.
