Custom Design Options And Deck Materials

We offer a wide range of customization options to suit your style and functional needs. Whether you're looking for a multi-level deck, integrated seating, or special features like outdoor kitchens or fire pits, we have the expertise to incorporate all your desires into the final design.

1. Wood

As your expert wood deck builders, we offer a range of high-quality materials for your decking needs, including:

  • Cedar: Naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect attacks, cedar is a popular choice for its durability and aesthetic appeal.
  • Redwood: Similar to cedar, redwood is durable and naturally resistant to moisture and insects, with a slightly richer color.
  • Pressure-Treated Wood: Often made from pine, pressure-treated wood is treated with chemicals to resist rot, decay, and termites. It's one of the most cost-effective options.

2. Composite

As your trusted composite deck contractor, we are proud to offer top brands like Trex and TimberTech to ensure your deck is durable and low-maintenance.

  • Trex: One of the leading brands in composite decking, Trex products are made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, making them highly durable and low maintenance.
  • TimberTech: Another popular composite brand, TimberTech decks are known for their high quality, durability, and range of colors and finishes.

3. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

We also offer premium PVC decking materials that are durable and low-maintenance, including:

  • AZEK: A top brand in the PVC decking industry, AZEK products are known for their high resistance to moisture, insects, and fading.
  • CertainTeed EverNew: Offers a range of PVC decking options that are durable, easy to maintain, and available in various styles.


When selecting decking materials, consider factors such as local climate, the deck's exposure to sun and rain, maintenance requirements, and long-term durability. Each decking material comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, making the best choice dependent on the homeowner's specific needs and preferences. For example, wood decks offer a classic aesthetic and natural feel but require regular maintenance, such as staining and sealing, to keep them in good condition. In contrast, composite and PVC decks require less maintenance but are generally more expensive upfront.


Using these materials and considering brands like Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK can help ensure that a deck is not only aesthetically pleasing but also long-lasting and practical for the homeowner's needs.
