Composite Decks

Ask any Cleveland homeowner who has owned both a wood deck and a composite one what the difference is, and the answer is almost always the same: the composite one stays looking the way it looked when it was built. No staining, no sealing, no soft boards after a wet winter, no splinters when the kids are out barefoot in July. For a region where the outdoor season is short enough that spending weekends on maintenance feels like a bad trade, composite decking makes a lot of sense.

We install Trex decking, TimberTech, and Fiberon across a range of product lines that cover different budgets and aesthetics. Trex is the most widely recognized name in composite decking and for good reason. The Trex Enhance line gives homeowners a solid entry-level composite option. The Transcend series at the top of the Trex range delivers a wood-grain surface texture and color depth that reads as genuinely premium.

TimberTech's capped composite products compete directly with Trex at the higher end and offer some color and texture options that appeal to buyers who want something a little different from the standard palette.

What matters beyond the brand name is whether you're buying capped or uncapped composite. Capped composite has a protective polymer shell on the face and sides of each board that makes it more resistant to staining from tannins, food, and whatever else ends up on a deck over a Cleveland summer. Uncapped composite is more porous and more vulnerable. In a market with significant snowfall and the associated moisture exposure, the performance difference between capped and uncapped composite over ten years is meaningful. We'll tell you which is which and why it matters for your specific project.

The substructure under composite decking needs the same attention as the decking itself. Composite boards on a poorly built frame don't perform better than wood boards on the same frame. We build the full system correctly.
