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.
