Low Maintenance Decks

Artificial decking doesn't fit every budget, but requires very little upkeep. These products are installed using hidden fastening systems and come in a large variety of colors. Low maintenance decks should be viewed as an investment. These products save time and money in the long run, because they require no painting or staining to maintain their appearance and durability. With warranties ranging from 25 to 50 years, these products are built to last longer than the deck structure itself.

 

These products can accumulate dirt and debris like any other outdoor surface and should be cleaned periodically to maintain an optimum appearance.

All of the decking that we install is produced by leading brands in the industry.

Capped Composite Decking

Capped composite decking is the most common artificial decking option. These boards have a core made up of recycled materials and condensed wood fibers. The protective outer shell (cap) is made from inorganic PVC materials, making the surface resistant to mold and mildew.

Mineral Composite Decking

Mineral composite (also known as "Surestone") is recognized for its great traction and texture. Like PVC boards, these are made from inorganic materials, making them resistant to mold and mildew. These boards tend to stay slightly cooler than traditional composites, as well. The brand we install, Deckorators, has two product lines to fit different budgets.​​

PVC Decking

PVC decking is generally on the higher end of the cost spectrum, but also carry longer warranties. These boards are created with zero organic material, and tend to stay slightly cooler than true composites. However, in our experience, these boards are more prone to surface scratches because they are less dense than the Capped Composite boards.
