What Our Customers Say

From the first visit to the final walk-through they kept us in the loop. The deck is solid, the railing is beautiful and we're out there every night.
Jen L.
New composite deck
They showed us photos of the rot under the deck before touching anything and only fixed what needed fixing. Fair and honest.

We can finally grill in the rain. The clear roof keeps the kitchen bright. Best money we've spent on the house.

What Composite Decking Involves in Portland

Capped composite boards that don't rot, splinter or need stain, on a frame built to stay dry. New decks and resurfacing across Portland, Beaverton, Tualatin and surrounding communities.

Composite decking is made from wood fiber and plastic, and most boards sold today have a hard plastic cap wrapped around the outside. The cap resists stains, fading and moisture. The boards don't rot, don't splinter and never need stain or sealer. For a lot of Portland homeowners who are tired of sanding and sealing every few summers, that's the whole reason to switch.

Composite isn't zero upkeep in our climate. Shady decks still grow mildew and algae on the surface, especially under firs and in the long wet months, so a wash once or twice a year keeps it clean. Composite also runs warmer than wood in direct summer sun, and darker colors are hotter. We'll help you pick a color and texture that suits your sun and shade.

The frame under the boards is still wood, and that frame can still rot if water sits on it. We tape joist tops, flash the ledger at the house and space joists closer than many wood decks, because composite boards need more support. If your current frame is solid, composite decking can go right on top of it as a resurfacing job instead of a full rebuild.

What Affects the Cost of Composite Decking

Composite boards cost more than wood up front. These are the things that decide where your project lands.

  • Board line

    Entry, mid and premium composite lines differ in cap, color and warranty.

  • New frame or resurface

    Reusing a sound frame saves a lot of framing work.

  • Joist spacing

    Older frames may need extra joists to support composite boards.

  • Size and layout

    Angles, borders and picture-frame edges take more cutting.

  • Fasteners and fascia

    Hidden clips and matching fascia boards add material.

  • Stairs and railing

    Composite stairs and matching railing add to the job.

Composite Decking Questions

Does composite decking get moss or mildew?
It can grow mildew and algae on the surface in shady, wet spots. It doesn't rot, and a wash with a deck cleaner and soft brush takes it off.
Can you put composite boards on my old deck frame?
Often, yes. If the joists, beams and ledger are sound, we can resurface. Older frames sometimes need extra joists because composite needs closer support.
Is composite slippery when wet?
Textured capped boards grip well. Any deck surface gets slick with algae, so keeping it clean matters most.
Does composite get hot?
Warmer than wood in full sun, and darker colors more so. Lighter colors help on south and west-facing decks.
How long does composite decking last?
The boards resist rot and splitting and makers back them with long warranties. The wood frame is what needs watching, so we build it to stay dry.
