Composite decking, such as Trex, offers a long-lasting, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood, eliminating the need for staining, sealing, or sanding. Unlike wood, which may be cheaper upfront but requires ongoing maintenance and staining year after year, Trex resists rotting, warping, and splintering while maintaining its beauty with minimal upkeep. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic, it is highly durable, resistant to mold, mildew, and fading, and stands up to all weather conditions. With a variety of colors and styles, Trex enhances any outdoor space while providing a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution that saves time and money in the long run.

Pressure-treated wood decking brings the timeless beauty of natural wood to your outdoor space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements any home. Unlike synthetic materials, real wood offers a rich, organic texture and grain that enhances with age, providing a classic look that never goes out of style. This durable and cost-effective option stands up to the elements when properly maintained, resisting rot, insects, and decay while retaining its natural charm. With the flexibility to be stained or painted in a variety of finishes, pressure-treated wood allows homeowners to customize their deck to perfectly match their aesthetic. For those who appreciate the authenticity and character of real wood, pressure-treated decking delivers both lasting strength and undeniable beauty at an affordable price.

Just as there are various decking materials to choose from, deck railings come in multiple styles and materials, each with its own benefits.

Wood Railing – A budget-friendly option, wood railings provide a classic, natural look but require ongoing maintenance, including staining and sealing. While the lower initial cost is appealing, the long-term upkeep can add up over time.

Vinyl Railing – Designed for durability and minimal maintenance, vinyl railings offer a sleek look without the need for staining or sealing. Resistant to weathering and decay, they are a cost-effective choice for homeowners seeking both aesthetics and convenience.

Composite Railing – Though it comes with a higher initial cost, composite railings provide excellent durability with very little maintenance. Available in a variety of styles, they create a cohesive, stylish look while offering long-term value.

Other Railing Options – Metal and fiberglass railings are less common but provide unique design alternatives. However, they may come with limitations in durability or cost when compared to wood and composite options.
