Get Your Free EstimateBuilding a composite deck means we're putting up an outdoor living space made from engineered stuff – a mix of wood fibers and recycled plastics. Our service covers everything: a full design chat, picking out the right composite decking brands and styles, getting the frame and base built, then carefully putting in the decking boards, railings, and stairs. We handle the whole project, from your first idea right through to the final check, making sure it looks great and is super sturdy.
We kick things off with a good look at your property. We're thinking about the ground's slope, how much sun it gets, and how you'll want to move around the space. After that, we'll help you pick the perfect composite product, maybe something from Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon. It all depends on your budget, what look you're going for, and how tough you need it to be. We really focus on the substructure design, often using treated lumber or even steel framing. Why? Because composite material is heavier, and a solid base stops any future movement or sagging. We also use the right gaps and fasteners to handle the way composite expands and shrinks with temperature changes – it's more noticeable than with wood, you know?
Choosing composite materials here in Peoria, AZ, is a smart move. Our intense sun and those monsoon downpours can really beat up natural wood fast. Composite decks are built to resist fading from the sun and they're less likely to get mold or mildew when it's humid. That means they keep their good looks and stay strong for longer. Plus, you don't have to stain or seal them all the time, which is a huge bonus in our hot, dry climate where wood can dry out and crack so quickly.
Homeowners often ask about the cost difference between composite and wood upfront. Sure, composite materials usually cost more to buy initially. But their real value shows up over time because you spend way less on maintenance, and they last much longer. We also talk about heat retention; lighter colors or capped composite options can keep the surface cooler, making your deck more comfortable during Peoria's scorching summers. And we'll discuss drainage solutions and good ventilation to keep the substructure dry and sound, preventing common desert environment problems.
Composite decking really stands out for its toughness, especially against Peoria's brutal climate. Our summers, with that intense sun often hitting 'extreme' UV levels, can bleach and crack regular wood in no time. But composite materials? They're built with UV inhibitors that seriously slow down that kind of wear and tear. That means your deck keeps its color and stays strong for decades, all without you having to constantly refinish it.
And let's talk about maintenance – or the lack thereof. That's another huge plus for folks living in Peoria. Unlike wood, composite decks don't need annual sanding, staining, or sealing. Think about the time and money you'll save over the years. You get to actually *enjoy* your outdoor space instead of constantly working on it. That's a big deal here, where outdoor living is such a core part of our lifestyle.
What's more, composite materials shrug off insect infestations and rot, which are common headaches for wooden decks, especially during those humid spells we sometimes get. These boards are engineered, so they won't splinter, warp, or cup like natural wood does. You get a consistently smooth, safe surface for your family and guests. Honestly, it just makes composite a smart, durable pick for any Peoria backyard.
We visit your Peoria property to assess the site, discuss your vision, and measure the area. We then create a detailed design plan, including material selection (e.g., Trex Enhance, TimberTech Azek), framing specifications, and railing options, ensuring it meets local building codes.
After finalizing the design, we handle all necessary permitting with the City of Peoria. Once approved, we construct the treated lumber or steel substructure, ensuring proper joist spacing (typically 12-16 inches on center) and ledger board attachment to the house, which is critical for stability.
Our team precisely installs the composite decking boards using hidden fastening systems for a clean finish, or face screws where appropriate. We meticulously cut and install your chosen railing system, whether it's composite, aluminum, or cable, ensuring all connections are secure and plumb.
Upon completion, we conduct a thorough final inspection to verify structural integrity, finish quality, and code compliance. We then walk through the new composite deck with you, demonstrating its features and ensuring your complete satisfaction with the craftsmanship.
