Get A QuoteWhat Is Composite Decking?
Composite decking is made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and durable polymers, engineered into boards that resist the problems that plague traditional lumber. Unlike wood, quality composite:
- Won't rot, warp, splinter, or crack the way wood can
- Resists fading and staining thanks to a protective cap layer
- Repels moisture and insects, holding up to rain and snow
- Never needs sanding, staining, or sealing—just an occasional wash
The Benefits of a Composite Deck
Homeowners choose composite for reasons that go well beyond looks:
- Low maintenance—reclaim the weekends you'd otherwise spend refinishing wood
- Long lifespan—composite decks are built to last for decades
- Consistent beauty—rich colors and realistic wood-grain textures
- Barefoot comfort—splinter-free boards that stay easy on the feet
- Eco-friendly materials—many boards use recycled content
While composite costs more upfront than wood, its durability and near-zero upkeep often make it the better long-term value.
Styles, Colors, and Options
Today's composite decking comes in a wide range of colors and finishes, from warm browns and grays to multi-tonal, streaked looks that mimic exotic hardwoods. We install boards with hidden fasteners for a clean, screw-free surface, plus matching or contrasting railings, fascia, and stairs to complete the look. Whatever your style, we'll help you design a deck that complements your home.

Composite Deck Installation FAQs
In many cases, yes. If your deck's frame and footings are still structurally sound, we can often remove the old wood boards and install new composite decking on the existing structure—a process called re-decking. We inspect the framing first and let you know whether re-decking or a full rebuild is the better option.
Both can perform well here, but it comes down to your priorities. Composite resists our region's moisture, sun, and freeze-thaw cycles with almost no upkeep, while cedar and pressure-treated wood cost less upfront but need regular sealing. We'll help you weigh durability, maintenance, and budget to choose the best fit for your home.
Composite is refreshingly low-maintenance—no staining or sealing required. Simply sweep away debris and wash the surface a couple of times a year with soap and water to keep it looking its best. Clearing leaves and snow promptly helps prevent stains. There's no annual refinishing like wood decks need.
Most modern composite decking has a textured, slip-resistant surface that performs well even when wet, making it a great choice for our rainy and snowy seasons. Keeping the deck clear of leaves and debris further improves traction. If slip resistance is a top priority, we can point you toward the best options.
Like any decking, composite can warm up in direct summer sun, and darker colors absorb more heat than lighter ones. Choosing a lighter shade and adding shade features like a pergola or umbrella helps keep the surface comfortable. We're happy to recommend colors and layouts that stay cooler underfoot.
Quality composite decking is built to last for decades, and many products carry long manufacturer warranties. Because composite resists rot, fading, insects, and moisture, it holds up far longer than untreated wood with minimal care. Solid framing and professional installation help your deck reach its full lifespan.
For many homeowners, yes. Composite costs more upfront than wood, but it needs almost no maintenance—no sanding, staining, or sealing—and lasts for decades. When you factor in the time and money saved on upkeep, composite often delivers strong long-term value, especially if you plan to enjoy your deck for years.
The cost of a composite deck depends on its size, the composite line you choose, the design, and site conditions. Composite typically costs more upfront than wood but saves on years of maintenance.
