DECK BUILDERS

At Setting Sun Patios & Decks, we are experts in the deck building industry and have been designing and building custom decks for our clients for over 20 years. When beginning a deck project, we sit down with our clients to take all of their needs into consideration. It is important to plan a deck properly from start to finish and use long-lasting materials so that it does not ruin the exterior of your home.

Our team of experts strongly recommends composite material for any uncovered deck built in North Carolina. Even the best grade of treated wood struggles to maintain integrity with the harsh North Carolina weather patterns. That, coupled with the constraints the EPA has put on deck stains, essentially making them weaker, means maintaining a wood deck has become a yearly (at longest span) maintenance issue. Lumber companies only warranty against rot and insect infestation. There is no warranty for cracked boards (called checking), warped, twisted, or splintered boards.

Given these facts and the climate of North Carolina, we highly recommend TimberTech/Azek composite decking materials for decks, porches and railings. We specialize in installing this material. Regardless of your type of home, backyard, or specialized requirements, our team will work with you from start to finish to make sure you are happy with the final product!

SHOULD YOU INVEST IN A COMPOSITE DECK?

When planning your deck construction project, you can be assured that composite decking is a worthy investment. The strength and longevity of composite decking alone make up for its cost in the long run.

Composite decking is an investment that will pay off if you expect to stay in your home for the foreseeable future. It might be wise to wait until you have a fixed place to invest in this material; however, if you are planning to sell, it will increase your home's resale value.

HOW LONG WILL YOUR COMPOSITE DECK LAST?

Trex, the company that pioneered composite decking, promises its products may endure for twenty years or more with regular use and maintenance. Compared to the typical lifespan of regular wood decking, which is 10 years or more, this is a lengthy period. To get the most out of your composite deck material, please remember the following:

● Your deck won’t hold up as well in a place with consistently wet weather as it would in an area with year-round warm temperatures.

● Composite decking is low-maintenance and durable; however, regular upkeep is still important. You will shorten the lifespan of your deck by neglecting its maintenance.

● Hiring a reputable company to carry out the installation is essential. Your brand-new decking will last longer if you choose high-quality installations.

When selecting this material for constructing a deck, be sure you’ve carefully considered each factor. The climate of your location will determine how much maintenance your deck will require. Regardless of how long-lasting this deck is, it still requires care if you want your investment to endure. As mentioned, we are with you every step of the way and will help you with material selection and expert installation.
