Best Decking Material: Wood vs Composite
Pressure-Treated Wood (Lasts 10-15 Years)
Transform your outdoor space with Pressure-Treated Wood decking—the most affordable and widely used option for homeowners! Engineered to resist moisture, pressure-treated wood ensures your deck will withstand the elements while providing a beautiful, natural look.
Typically made from durable pine or fir, this decking material is perfect for entertaining friends and family or simply enjoying your backyard. While it does require regular maintenance, such as sealing, staining, and inspections for warping or splintering, the long-lasting benefits are worth the effort.
Don’t settle for less; choose pressure-treated wood for your next decking project and enjoy a reliable, stunning outdoor area for years to come!
Composite Decking (Lasts 25-30 Years)
Made from a mix of wood fibers and recycled plastic, composite decking is the ideal choice for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance solution that stands the test of time. With composite decking, you can say goodbye to the hassle of frequent staining and sealing. It requires minimal upkeep, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your outdoor space.
Additionally, it is resistant to fading, staining, and insects, so you won’t have to worry about splintering or warping. This ensures your deck will look beautiful for years to come. Composite decking also comes in a wide range of colors and styles, so you can customize your deck to perfectly match your home and personal taste.
While it may be slightly more expensive than traditional wood, the exceptional durability it offers makes it a wise investment for your home.
How Much Does it Cost to Build a Deck?
The cost to build a deck can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of materials used, the size and design of the deck, and labor costs.
Material costs are a significant portion of the overall expense. For pressure-treated wood, you can expect to pay between $15 to $30 per square foot. Cedar or redwood generally ranges from $30 to $50 per square foot, while composite decking costs around $30 to $60 per square foot.
The overall size of the deck will directly affect the cost as well. A small deck (around 100 square feet) may cost between $1,500 and $3,000, while a larger deck (around 300 square feet) could range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the materials and features included.
Custom features, such as built-in seating, railings, and lighting, can also add to the overall cost. Additionally, you may need to consider permits and other fees depending on local regulations, which can range from $100 to $500 or more.
In summary, the average cost to build a deck typically ranges from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, with an average of around $7,000 for a standard-sized deck made from pressure-treated wood. For the most accurate estimate, it's best to contact us for a free quote.
How Much Does it Cost to Restore a Deck?
The cost to restore a deck can vary significantly depending on the extent of the restoration required, the materials involved, and labor costs. To begin, a thorough inspection is often necessary to assess the level of damage and determine the type of work needed. This inspection typically costs between $100 and $300, depending on your location and the size of the deck.
Cleaning and preparing the deck is the next step, which generally involves pressure washing and sanding. This process costs around $1 to $3 per square foot. For an average-sized deck of 300 square feet, you can expect to pay between $300 and $900 for this part of the restoration.
If there are damaged boards, repairing or replacing them will add to the cost. The price for replacement depends on the material. Pressure-treated wood typically costs $1 to $3 per linear foot, while composite materials range from $3 to $7 per linear foot. The total cost for this part of the project will depend on how many boards need replacing and their size.
Once the deck has been cleaned and repaired, applying a new coat of stain or sealant is essential for protection. The cost for staining or sealing typically falls between $2 to $5 per square foot, meaning that for a 300-square-foot deck, you could pay anywhere from $600 to $1,500.
In total, the cost to restore a deck generally ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 or more. Smaller, less complex projects will be on the lower end, while larger decks or those needing extensive repairs will be on the higher end.
