Why Composite Decking Is A Great Decision For Your Outdoor Decking

5/21/2020

Wooden decks are great investments for your home because they add a lot to its overall appearance and thereby raise its value; and they add a lot more space for outdoor activities. Having a deck added onto your house is a very rewarding project, and it just takes a little planning to get the right deck. Deck building involves two considerations in whether you go with natural wood or composite decking, and hiring an expert deck contractor Greensboro.

Benefits Of Composite Materials

It's usually assumed that natural wood is automatically higher in quality for deck building, but that's not necessarily the case. Cheap composite material can certainly wear and have long-term maintenance issues, but even natural wood can have similarly issues. Good quality composite decking can be a much better investment for the following reasons.

-It's Eco Friendly Decking: With composite materials, you don't have to worry about depleting forests or using up other natural resources. They are completely eco friendly decking solutions because they can be manufactured from non-wooden materials, or even recycle previously used wood. If you're an environmentally conscious consumer, composite eco friendly decking will meet your goals.

-It Will Last Longer With Less Maintenance: With natural wood decks, there will usually need to be a lot of maintenance work and possibly deck replacement done in a number of years. This can mean a lot of money spent on sanding, staining, treating against termites, and having to be very careful when you pressure wash. With composite materials, most of these tasks other than cleaning aren't even needed.

-It Can Have A Natural Look: Even without any natural wood or engineered wood included in its makeup, a composite deck can still look natural. Your friends and neighbors can see and feel the deck and not know the difference between composite and natural.

Planning The Deck Project

You will want to decide how large you want your deck, whether you want roofing over it, and whether you want a raised deck or a ground level deck. You also need to consider cost. Composite decking cost is usually estimated at $30 to $45 per square foot, and it's usually higher than most regular wood except for cedar. But some composite materials from brands like Dura Life are made to install even without pounding nails or drilling screws into them, so in some cases installation can happen quicker.

Hiring Your Decking Contractor

When you hire your deck contractor Greensboro, you'll be able to discuss the design, or find out what kind of work will go into deck replacement and cleanup. You should inquire about their past deck installation work, go over composite decking cost estimates, and ask for additional references. Our company offers eco friendly decking solutions and will work closely with you to help build the deck you want. To find out more about our design and building process, give us a call today.

I agree. I also used Trex for my fence and deck. I found the best Trex fence contractors from https://www.trexfencingfds.com/get-pricing/find-a-contractor/ and what I like about them is that they supply top quality composite materials.
