    Natural Wood Decks

    If immediate budget value is your primary concern, natural pressure treated pine steps to the plate and hits a home run. Whether pine, redwood, or cedar, the beauty of organic wood never fails to impress. We use only #1 pressure treated pine with minimal knots — and all deck boards are installed using coated decking screws that resist corrosion and won't work loose over time.

    Composite & Vinyl Decks

    Technological advancements have transformed modern deck installation. Today's composite and vinyl materials — Trex, Fiberon, Timco or Azek — offer minimal maintenance and robust durability. Say goodbye to costly chemical stripping, sealing and staining required to maintain wood. Over time a composite deck costs you less than wood due to lower maintenance expenses.
