Types of Decking
Wood Decking
Wood decking is a classic option with natural character. Popular species include cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine, and it can be stained or painted to match your home.
Advantages: Affordable, classic appearance, and easy to work with during installation.
Considerations: Requires ongoing maintenance like staining and sealing, and can warp, crack, or split over time.
Composite Decking
Composite decking blends wood fibers and plastic to provide the look of wood with more durability and lower maintenance.
Advantages: Low maintenance, durable, and resistant to rot, mold, and insects.
Considerations: Higher upfront cost than wood, can get hot in direct sunlight, and has fewer color options.
PVC Decking
PVC decking is made from 100% plastic, offering the most durable and lowest-maintenance deck surface.
Advantages: Extremely durable, long-lasting, and resistant to rot, mold, and insects with multiple style options.
Considerations: Higher cost, can heat up in direct sunlight, and is less natural-looking than wood or composite.
Types of Railing
Wood Railing
Wood railing delivers a timeless, traditional look and can be customized with paint or stain to complement your home.
Advantages: Classic look, budget-friendly, and highly customizable.
Considerations: Requires regular maintenance and can be less durable over time than alternative materials.
Aluminum Railing
Aluminum railing is a durable, lightweight option that is easy to install and maintain.
Advantages: Low maintenance, long-lasting performance, and simple installation.
Considerations: More expensive than wood, limited finish options, and can dent or scratch.
Glass Railing
Glass railing provides a sleek, modern aesthetic with unobstructed views of your outdoor space.
Advantages: Contemporary style, clear sightlines, and minimal maintenance.
Considerations: Higher cost, potential for chips or breakage, and fewer style/color variations.
