Understanding the Lifespan of Composite vs Wood Decks
Choosing between composite and wood decking affects how long your deck will last and how much maintenance it will need. Composite decks typically last 25 to 30 years with minimal upkeep, while wood decks usually need replacement or major repairs after 10 to 15 years. Wood requires regular staining and sealing to protect against weather damage, rot, and insects. Composite materials resist these issues naturally, saving you time and money over the years. We help you understand the real costs and benefits of each option so you can make the right choice for your lifestyle and budget.
Our Process
Building a deck with us is straightforward and stress-free. We break the process into clear steps so you know exactly what happens at each stage. Here is what to expect when you work with our team.
Initial Consultation and Design
We start with a conversation about your vision, budget, and timeline. During the initial consultation, we visit your property to assess the space, take measurements, and discuss design options that fit your needs. You will see examples of our previous work and learn about different materials and styles available. We provide a detailed quote that covers all costs, so there are no surprises later. This step is all about understanding what you want and creating a plan that makes it happen.
Zoning Your Deck: Dining, Lounging, and Cooking Areas
A great deck design creates distinct zones for different activities. You might want a dedicated dining area with space for a table and chairs, a lounging section with comfortable seating, and a cooking zone for your grill or outdoor kitchen. Proper zoning makes your deck more functional and enjoyable, giving everyone room to relax or socialize without feeling cramped. We help you plan the layout based on how you actually use your outdoor space, ensuring each zone flows naturally into the next and maximizes your available square footage.
The "Cost Per Year" of Wood vs. Composite
Looking only at the upfront price can be misleading when choosing deck materials. Wood decks cost less initially but require ongoing maintenance like staining, sealing, and board replacement. When you calculate the total cost over the deck's lifespan, composite often becomes the more economical choice. Composite decks have a higher upfront cost but minimal maintenance expenses over 25 to 30 years. We break down the real numbers for you, showing the annual cost of ownership for both options. This helps you see which material delivers better value based on your long-term plans.
PVC vs. Composite: Understanding the "Cap" Difference
Many homeowners do not realize there is a difference between standard composite and capped composite decking. Standard composite boards are made from a wood-plastic mixture throughout, while capped composite features a protective PVC shell that covers the core material. This cap provides extra protection against moisture, stains, scratches, and fading. Capped boards typically cost more but offer superior durability and easier maintenance. We explain these differences clearly and show you samples of each type so you can feel and see the quality difference before making your decision.
Year-Round Usage: Heating and Shade Solutions
Your deck does not have to sit empty during hot summer days or cool evenings. Adding heating and shade solutions extends your outdoor season significantly. Pergolas, retractable awnings, and shade sails protect you from harsh sun while maintaining airflow. For cooler months, patio heaters or fire features create comfortable warmth that lets you enjoy the outdoors even when temperatures drop. We design decks with these additions in mind, ensuring proper structure and placement for maximum comfort and functionality year-round.
