Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between wood and composite decking, and what composite grades do you offer?
Wood decking offers a natural look but requires more maintenance over time. Composite decking, on the other hand, is low-maintenance, durable, and comes in three grades:
Premium: MoistureShield & NewTechWood for the ultimate luxury.
Mid-Grade: Fiberon—ideal for balancing quality and cost.
Entry Level: Veranda—budget-friendly without compromising on style.
Can you build a deck for $10k?
Yes, we offer solutions for various budgets. Contact us to discuss your vision, and we’ll help you explore options that fit your needs.
