Composite Deck Construction in Cudahy Deck Builders
Have you dreamt of a great looking deck, but don’t like the idea of committing to the hassle of deck maintenance required for wooden decks?
​
Composite Decking is the perfect solution! Choose composite decking for superior maintenance and durability. The composite material is made from durable, long-lasting materials that are tough when it comes to resisting stains and will hold up to rough weather conditions as well as everyday natural wear and tear. Wooden decks made from real natural materials can have a very slight difference in looks but truthfully, they are a little outdated with recent advances in deck building technology and common practice.

How long do Wooden decks last?
​
Natural wood decks typically last 10-30 years before repair is necessary. Periodic Maintenance can extend this but can get costly. Composite, on the other hand, won't splinter, rot or become vulnerable to insect, weather, or other external damage. In addition, most composite decks have an automatic resistance to UV rays, so they don't fade or lighten in color nearly as much as natural wood decks. If for some reason your composite deck does fade over the years, staining and repainting are very easily done processes. Most homeowners are not aware that staining and painting your composite is possible. Doing this periodically is very affordable and can revive your deck in a short period of time. Keep your newly installed deck as efficient and sustainable as possible from the beginning.

How much does Composite Decking cost?
​
Composite decks cost anywhere from $30-$45 per square foot. This is mostly because of the numerous benefits associated with Composite materials versus natural wood options. This is arguably the only drawback of choosing composite materials for your deck instead of natural wood. Wood decks compared to composite decks are typically half the price, ranging from $20-$30 per square foot. Taking these factors into account, most deck-building experts recommend composite decks because, in the long run, you will spend more repairing, maintenance, and resurfacing wooden decks. Most deck building companies agree that the cost over years from maintaining wooden decks is five times the price as composite decks.
How to choose between composite and wooden decking
​
To simply answer this question, it is completely preference. if you are set on constructing a classic, natural, real wooden deck and are okay with the upkeep that is involved in maintaining it then wooden deck options may be best for you. On the other hand, if you are interested in a deck that has very little upkeep, maintenance, and lasts almost twice as long as the latter, then composite material decks may be the correct choice for your home.
