Premium Decking Materials in Allentown, PA

Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, offering superior durability and minimal maintenance. Wood decking provides natural beauty but requires regular sealing and maintenance. Composite typically lasts 25-30 years, while wood lasts 10-20 years depending on the type.

For Pennsylvania's varying seasons, we recommend composite decking like Trex or TimberTech for their resistance to moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV rays. These materials won't crack, splinter, or rot like traditional wood, making them ideal for our Northeast weather.

Composite decking typically costs $30-45 per square foot installed, while pressure-treated wood costs $15-25 per square foot. Though composite has higher upfront costs, it saves money long-term through reduced maintenance and longer lifespan.

Yes! Many of our composite options like Trex are made from 95% recycled materials. We also offer FSC-certified hardwoods and sustainably sourced options like Kebony modified wood for environmentally conscious homeowners.

Most deck installations take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Simple 12x16 decks can be completed in 3 days, while multi-level decks with features may take up to 2 weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

Composite decking needs only occasional cleaning with soap and water. Wood decks require annual cleaning and sealing, plus staining every 2-3 years. Exotic hardwoods like Ipe need oiling annually to maintain their color.
