Pressure-Treated Wood Decks
Composite and PVC decks are relatively new – wood has been the standard for deck building for decades. For superior durability and consistent performance, pressure-treated woods are a great decking material. Here is a brief overview of their features:
- Very affordable, compared to other deck materials
- Maintenance includes applying a high-quality stain or sealer every year or so, as well as occasional board replacement
- Life expectancy of 10-15 years with maintenance
- Common issues include splinters, scratches, stains, warping
Hardwood Decks
Exotic hardwood decks are more expensive than pressure-treated or cedar decks, but when you consider they are rated to last 40 years or longer, the return on investment is obvious. These extremely dense woods exhibit beautiful, rich colors and textures. Common choices include Brazilian ipe and cumaru wood.
Other benefits include:
- Low maintenance – occasional staining and re-sealing required
- Resistance to developing splinters, doesn’t scratch or stain easily
- Extremely durable
- Incredible resistance to insects
- Superior fire resistance
Composite/PVC Decks
The vinyl and composite decks of today are far superior to the ones first installed in the early 2000s. The come in a plethora of colors, styles, and textures, and offer a variety of benefits:
- Higher initial cost, but longer life expectancy of 25+ years with proper maintenance
- Warrantied against staining
- Fade-resistant
- Maintenance is minimal – periodic pressure-washing
