When wood is the right call
- Budget comes first. Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable way to get a new deck.
- You like the look of real wood and don't mind a little upkeep.
- Ground-level and simpler decks where a lower price gets you outside sooner.
- Rentals and second homes where you'd rather refinish than overspend.
Keeping a wood deck looking good on the coast
Sun and humidity are hard on bare wood. Plan to clean it and re-seal or stain it every year or two, and it'll stay in good shape. New pressure-treated lumber usually needs time to dry out before it takes a stain or sealer well. We'll tell you when yours is ready.
Want composite later?
If you think you might switch to composite boards down the road, tell us at the estimate. A frame built with the right spacing can take composite boards later without a full rebuild. Compare the two on our composite decks page.
Built right from the ground up
Whatever's on top, the deck is only as good as its footings and frame. We build to fit your house and yard, with solid stairs and railings, and we walk the finished deck with you before we call it done.
