DECKS

Cedar

Cedar decks offer a winning combination of natural beauty and long-lasting durability that make them a top choice for outdoor living spaces. The inherent properties of cedar wood provide superior resistance against damage from pests like termites and carpenter ants that can quickly destroy other woods. Cedar’s unique chemical structure and natural oils act as preservatives to ward off decay, rot and fungal growth, allowing it to withstand harsh weather conditions year after year with minimal maintenance required. With its rich, warm hues and subtle aromatic scent, a well-crafted cedar deck creates an inviting atmosphere for relaxing with family, entertaining friends, or simply savoring a quiet moment immersed in your backyard environment. Properly sealed and regularly cleaned, a cedar deck will maintain its structural integrity and attractive appearance for decades, making it a worthwhile investment in both your home’s value and your enjoyment of outdoor living at its finest.

Redwood

Redwood decks offer numerous advantages that make them a top choice for discerning homeowners. The rich, warm tones of redwood lumber create an inviting and attractive aesthetic that enhances any outdoor living space. Redwood is also naturally resistant to insects, decay and weathering, making it a long-lasting decking material that can withstand the elements year after year with minimal maintenance. Its stability and strength allow for greater joist spacing during construction, ultimately reducing material costs. Furthermore, redwood is an environmentally friendly and sustainable choice, as it is harvested from carefully managed forests. Redwood’s combination of beauty, durability, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness make it an ideal decking material that will provide many years of outdoor enjoyment and increase the value of your home.

Pressure Treated

Pressure treated wood is a popular and cost-effective choice for outdoor decking projects. The wood, typically southern yellow pine, is infused with preservative chemicals in a pressurized tank, allowing the treatment to penetrate deep into the wood fibers. This process helps protect the wood against rot, decay, termites, and fungal growth, significantly extending its lifespan compared to untreated lumber. Pressure treated wood is also more affordable than naturally durable woods like cedar and redwood, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners. However, it’s important to note that the treatment chemicals can give the wood a slightly greenish tint, which fades to a natural gray over time if left unstained. Additionally, pressure treated wood may require more regular maintenance, such as cleaning and resealing, to maintain its appearance and integrity compared to cedar or redwood, which are naturally resistant to moisture and insects.

Composite

The advantages of composite decking compared to traditional wood are numerous. Composite decking is made from a blend of recycled plastic and wood fibers, resulting in a highly durable, low-maintenance material that retains the natural look of wood without the drawbacks. Unlike wood, composite decking resists fading, staining, scratching and mold, and won’t rot, crack or warp over time. This means it maintains its original color and appearance for years with only minimal upkeep required, such as an occasional cleaning with soap and water.  Although the initial cost of composite tends to be higher than wood, its superior durability and low-maintenance needs make it a more cost-effective choice in the long run. With a wide array of colors and realistic wood-like textures available, composite can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of any outdoor living space.
