Skip the Annual Deck Maintenance

You’re tired of staining your deck every year. Tired of splinters. Tired of boards that warp, fade, and need replacing after a decade. You want something that looks good and stays that way without constant work.

Composite decking solves these problems. It looks like wood but won’t rot, splinter, or fade. No annual staining. No sanding. Just occasional cleaning with soap and water.

We install composite decks throughout Ann Arbor using proven brands that last 25+ years with minimal upkeep.

Why People Choose Composite

No yearly maintenance. Clean it once or twice a year and you’re done. No staining, sealing, or replacing warped boards.

Stays looking good. The color and texture don’t fade like wood. What you see when we finish is what you’ll have for decades.

Handles Michigan weather. Won’t absorb moisture, so it doesn’t warp or rot. Freezing and thawing cycles don’t hurt it.

Safe for families. No splinters. No chemicals from stains and sealers. Kids can run around barefoot without worry.

Eco-friendly options. Many composite boards use recycled materials—old plastic bags, sawdust, and reclaimed wood fiber.

Where Composite Works Best

New decks. Perfect for any new construction. You get exactly what you want without compromise.

Deck replacements. Upgrade from your old wood deck to something that lasts longer and needs less work.

Pool areas. Composite handles splashing and high humidity better than wood. Won’t get slippery or damaged.

Shaded locations. Wood decks in shade stay wet longer and develop mold problems. Composite doesn’t care.

Multi-level decks. When you have a large, complex deck, the maintenance savings really add up over time.

How We Install Composite Decking

Design Your Deck

We look at your space and talk through how you want to use it. Composite works with any design—simple rectangles or complex multi-level layouts.

Pick Your Materials

You choose from actual samples, not just pictures. See the colors and textures in your own lighting. We explain the differences between product lines.

Build It Right

Composite needs proper support and spacing. We frame it correctly and use the right fasteners. Hidden fasteners give you a clean look without visible screws.

Final Walkthrough

We check every board, every joint, every detail. You get warranty information and care instructions.

Composite vs. Wood: The Real Differences

Upfront cost: Composite costs more initially. 

Long-term cost: Wood needs staining every 2-3 years at $2-3 per square foot. Over 20 years, you’ll spend more on wood maintenance than the extra upfront cost of composite.

Appearance: Wood looks more natural when it’s new. Composite has consistent color and texture that never changes.

Feel: Composite can get hot in direct sun. Wood stays cooler but gets rough and splintery over time.

Lifespan: Good composite lasts 25-30+ years. Wood typically needs replacing after 15-20 years, even with good maintenance.

Composite Deck FAQ

Composite decking is typically made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic. Some brands also offer capped or all-PVC boards for added durability and moisture resistance.

Yes. While composite decking costs more initially than wood, it pays off in the long run with minimal maintenance, longer lifespan, and better resistance to rot, fading, and splintering.

Like all decking materials, composite can get warm under direct sun. However, lighter colors and PVC-based boards tend to stay cooler. We can help you choose a product suited for sun-exposed areas.

Most composite decks last 25–50 years depending on the brand and conditions. Many products come with 25–50 year fade and stain warranties.

In some cases, yes, if the existing framing is structurally sound and meets code. We’ll inspect your current deck to determine if it’s a good candidate for resurfacing with composite boards.
