Wood or Trex composite decking? How look, upkeep, feel underfoot and budget compare when you choose boards for a Charlotte deck. From Patriot Home Service.
Choosing deck boards is one of the first decisions in a new deck or a deck replacement. For many Charlotte homeowners it comes down to wood or Trex composite decking.
Wood weathers. Its color shifts over the years, and it needs periodic cleaning and sealing or staining. Composite generally holds its color more evenly and is not stained, though it still needs cleaning.
Wood has natural grain underfoot. Composite boards have a molded surface texture. Boards in full afternoon sun can get hot; ask to see and touch samples, ideally outside.
Composite boards usually cost more to buy than common wood boards, while wood asks for more upkeep over time. Weigh both when you compare proposals; we can price each option for your deck.
Whichever boards you choose, the deck stands on its framing. A proposal should describe the frame, the footings and how the deck connects to the house.
We build decks with wood and composite materials, including Trex composite decking. Patriot Home Service LLC is a Trex certified contractor. Trex and its product names are trademarks of their owner. Product features, maintenance requirements and warranty coverage vary by product.
