Composite Decks are more expensive upfront, but pay off in the long term.

• Initial Cost – Typically 20% – 50% higher upfront than pressure-treated wood.

• Lifespan – Lasts 25 – 30+ years, while wood often requires major repairs or replacement after 10 years.

• Maintenance – No annual staining or sealing, saves $400 – $1000/year in upkeep.

• Time Saved – Minimal upkeep means more time enjoying your outdoor space.

• Precise Framing Matters – Requires tighter joist spacing (12"–16" OC) to prevent bounce or sag.

• Specialized Fasteners – Hidden clips and screws are designed specifically for composite.

• Expansion & Ventilation – Needs correct gapping, airflow, and drainage for long-term performance.

• Strategic Layouts – Designs often include picture framing, breaker boards, and fascia details.

• No Margin for Error – Composite doesn't hide mistakes like wood can — installation must be exact.
