Composite Deck Installation

Why Choose Composite Decking

Composite decking has become the top choice for homeowners in Irondequoit, NY who want a deck that looks great year after year without constant upkeep. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, composite materials resist fading, staining, scratching, and rotting better than traditional wood.

You get the natural look of wood without the splinters, warping, or yearly maintenance. That means more time enjoying your outdoor space and less time working on it. Composite decking comes in dozens of colors and textures that mimic everything from rich hardwoods to weathered barn wood, so you can match any style.

With New York's tough winters and humid summers, composite materials handle the weather extremes without cracking or splitting. You won't need to worry about snow damage or summer sun bleaching your deck to a dull gray. Our deck building experts install composite decks that maintain their beauty for 25 years or more with minimal care.

Composite Material Options

Not all composite decking is created equal. We work with the top brands in the industry to give you options that fit your budget and performance needs. Here's what makes each type different:

• •Capped Composite: The premium choice with a protective polymer shell that resists staining, fading, and scratches better than uncapped boards. Best for high-traffic areas and homes with kids or pets.
• •Standard Composite: A solid middle-ground option that offers excellent durability at a lower price point. Still outperforms wood in every category but without the extra protective shell.
• •PVC Decking: The most moisture-resistant option, made entirely from synthetic materials. Perfect for poolside decks or areas with heavy water exposure.

We'll walk you through the pros and cons of each material during your free consultation. The right choice depends on your budget, how you use your deck, and what matters most to you in terms of appearance and performance.

Installation That Lasts

Installing composite decking correctly requires specialized knowledge and techniques. The boards expand and contract differently than wood, so proper spacing and fastening methods make the difference between a deck that performs beautifully and one that develops problems down the road.

We use hidden fastening systems that eliminate visible screws for a clean, seamless look. These clips grip the boards from underneath while allowing natural expansion and contraction. The result is a professional finish that looks great and prevents water from pooling around screw heads.

Our installers pay special attention to proper ventilation under your deck to prevent moisture buildup and ensure maximum longevity. We also factor in Irondequoit's specific climate conditions when planning board spacing and layout. Every detail matters when you're building something meant to last decades.

The Long-Term Value

The upfront cost of composite decking runs higher than pressure-treated wood, but here's the math that matters. Wood decks need staining or sealing every 1-2 years at around $500-$1,500 per application. Over a 25-year period, you'll spend $6,000 to $15,000 just on maintenance for a wood deck.

Composite decks need only occasional cleaning with soap and water. No staining, no sealing, no repairs for rot or insect damage. The material costs more initially, but you save thousands in maintenance over the deck's lifetime while avoiding all that work.

Plus, composite decking adds strong resale value to your home. Buyers love seeing a low-maintenance deck that looks great and won't need work for years. If you're thinking about a full deck replacement, switching to composite makes excellent financial sense for the long haul.
