Composite Decking
Low-maintenance composite decking built on frost-ready framing, so you get the look of wood without the annual sanding and staining.
What's included
We bring color and texture samples on site so you can see how each composite line actually looks against your house.
Boards are installed with a hidden fastener system for a clean surface with no visible screw heads.
The framing underneath is still pressure-treated lumber on frost-depth footings, built to the same structural standard as any of our decks.
We space and vent the substructure correctly so moisture doesn't get trapped under composite boards over the winter.
Composite boards carry the manufacturer's own material warranty in addition to our workmanship warranty on the installation.
Installation and framing work is backed by our two-year workmanship warranty.
Materials
Composite costs more per board than pressure-treated lumber but skips the annual staining and sanding, so the tradeoff is upfront price against long-term upkeep.
From first call to done right.
Sample and design consultation
We bring composite samples to your property and design the layout with color and pattern in mind.
Written estimate and material order
Once you choose a board line, we provide a full estimate and order materials to spec.
Permitting and substructure build
We file permits and build the frost-footed, pressure-treated frame the composite deck sits on.
Composite installation and inspection
Boards are installed with hidden fasteners, trim is finished, and the job passes final inspection.
"We picked composite specifically so we'd never stain a deck again, and after three winters it still looks like the day it went in."

Composite Decking FAQs
Is composite decking actually maintenance-free?
Not entirely maintenance-free, but it never needs staining or sealing. An occasional soap-and-water cleaning is typically all it takes.
Does composite decking get slippery in snow and ice?
Most modern composite boards have textured surfaces designed to resist slipping, though we still recommend clearing snow like you would any deck.
Can composite boards be installed over an existing wood frame?
If the existing framing is structurally sound and properly spaced for composite, yes; if not, we'll recommend reframing first.
How does composite pricing compare to wood over time?
Composite costs more upfront than pressure-treated lumber, but avoiding annual staining and periodic board replacement often narrows that gap over the life of the deck.
