Helpful answers before you request a consultation
Is composite decking maintenance-free?
Composite decking is designed for lower routine maintenance than traditional wood, but it still needs normal cleaning and care. Requirements vary by the selected product manufacturer.
Can composite decking be used on a replacement deck?
Yes. The framing and layout are reviewed for the selected board system, spacing, fastening, trim, stairs, and other manufacturer requirements.
Can I compare colors and railing options?
Yes. Finish selections can include deck-board color families, border or picture-frame details, fascia, stairs, and compatible wood or aluminum railing options.
Do composite boards require special fasteners?
