The Best Materials for Long-Lasting Deck Construction
The materials you choose determine how long your deck will last and how much maintenance it needs. We use only premium materials from trusted manufacturers, whether you opt for pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, or composite decking. Each material has unique benefits. Composite decks resist fading and staining while requiring minimal upkeep. Natural wood offers unmatched warmth and can be refinished multiple times over its lifespan. We explain the pros and cons of each option, helping you make an informed decision based on your climate, usage, and maintenance preferences.
Why Composite Decks Are the Future of Outdoor Living
More homeowners are choosing composite decking because it offers the look of wood without the hassle. You never have to stain or seal a composite deck. It resists mold, rot, and insect damage naturally. The color stays vibrant for decades, even under intense sun exposure. Composite boards are made from recycled materials, making them an eco-friendly choice. They also come in a wide variety of colors and textures, giving you endless design possibilities. If you want a deck that looks great year after year with almost no maintenance, composite is the way to go.
Our Process
We make building your dream deck simple and stress-free. Here is what to expect when you work with us.
Free Consultation & Design
We start with a free consultation at your home. During this visit, we discuss your ideas, take measurements, and evaluate your property. We look at factors like terrain, sun exposure, and access points to create a design that works perfectly for your space. You tell us about your budget, timeline, and must-have features. We then create a detailed design proposal with 3D renderings so you can visualize the finished deck before construction begins. This step ensures everyone is on the same page from day one.

How We Build Decks That Withstand Weather & Wear
Quality construction starts with the foundation. We install concrete footings below the frost line and use galvanized hardware that resists corrosion. Joists are spaced correctly to prevent sagging over time. We apply proper flashing around ledger boards to prevent water damage to your home. Each deck board is secured with hidden fasteners or stainless steel screws that will not rust or pop out. We build in slight slopes for drainage so water never pools on the surface. These details make the difference between a deck that lasts five years and one that lasts fifty.
Understanding the Lifespan of Composite vs Wood Decks
Choosing between composite and wood depends on how you prioritize maintenance versus aesthetics. Wood decks typically last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance like staining and sealing every few years. Composite decks can last 25 to 30 years or more with almost no maintenance required. Wood offers a natural look that many homeowners prefer, and it can be sanded and refinished if needed. Composite stays consistent in appearance but cannot be refinished. Both options have their place, and we help you weigh the long-term costs and benefits of each.
