Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between wood and composite decking?

Wood decking is a natural material while composite decking is manufactured from wood fibers and plastics. With wood decking, you get a natural look and feel at a lower initial price. However, it requires regular maintenance like sanding and staining. Composite decking has a higher upfront cost, but it’s longer lasting and requires little to no maintenance.

How much does decking cost?

Decking materials are available at a variety of price points, with pressure-treated pine being the least expensive option. Wood decking generally costs less, while composite decking generally costs more; however, some grades and styles of wood can cost as much or more as composites.

How much maintenance is required for different decking materials?

Composite decking just needs occasional cleaning, while wood decking will need to be stripped or sanded and refinished every few years. The frequency will depend on your climate, the type of wood used for the deck, and the finish.
