Decks FAQ

---

Signs that your deck may need to be replaced include loose or rotting boards, unstable railings, structural sagging, rusted fasteners, or visible wood rot. If your deck is more than 15–20 years old, it may be safer and more cost-effective to replace it rather than repair it. 

The most common deck materials include:

• Pressure-treated wood – Affordable and widely used 
• Composite decking – Low maintenance and long-lasting 
• PVC decking – Highly resistant to moisture and fading 
• Cedar or redwood – Natural wood with attractive appearance 

Many homeowners now choose composite decking because it requires very little maintenance and lasts longer than traditional wood decks.

Most deck installations take 3–7 days, depending on the size of the deck, design complexity, and weather conditions. 

Wood decking is more affordable initially but requires regular maintenance such as staining and sealing.

Composite decking is made from recycled materials and offers benefits like:

• No staining or sealing required 
• Resistance to rot and insects 
• Longer lifespan 
• Lower long-term maintenance costs
