This low maintenance composite deck will last the rest of this couple’s life with minimal upkeep or repairs.
If you have an old wood deck made with traditional pressure treated wood then you know how time consuming the maintenance can be. This home got a serious upgrade with a new low maintenance composite deck to spend lazy weekends porch sitting on.
The Pitfalls of a Wood Deck
After tearing out the old wooden deck, we found that much of the aged framing was rotten and needed to be replaced. Regardless of how it’s treated, natural wood does age and eventually decay. It’s important to evaluate the framing before rebuilding the surface of the deck to extend the life of the new deck and avoid safety hazards in the future.
Why A Low Maintenance Composite Deck?
The maintenance of a natural wood deck can be time consuming and messy. Sanding, staining, oiling and regular cleaning are all things that need to be done to maintain a natural material deck. For some folks another option may be preferable. We installed low maintenance composite decking so that this family could spend more time enjoying their space and less time on upkeep. Composite decking also lasts up to 30 years longer than traditional wood decking. The aluminum roof is another low maintenance feature that should last the next 40 years!
A Long Lasting Investment with an Immediate Pay-off
While the low maintenance composite decking and aluminum roof will undoubtedly help this home hold it’s value, the real pay-off is definitely the time this family gets to spend with their fur babies enjoying quiet time together without worrying about maintenance or repairs as they age.
