Composite Deck Installation

Why Choose Composite Decking

If you are tired of sanding, staining, and replacing rotted boards every few years, composite decking might be exactly what you need. Composite decks give you the beauty of natural wood without the endless maintenance. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic, these materials stand up to weather, bugs, and heavy use better than traditional wood ever could.

Here in Waltham, we see all four seasons. Your deck takes a beating from snow, rain, summer heat, and everything in between. Composite materials are designed for exactly this kind of climate. They resist fading, splintering, and warping, so your deck looks great year after year with minimal effort on your part.

Many homeowners worry that composite means sacrificing style. That is not true anymore. Today, you can choose from dozens of colors and textures that look remarkably like real wood. Some composite boards even have wood grain patterns molded right into the surface. You get the warmth and character of wood with none of the drawbacks.

The Benefits of Composite

• No Staining or Sealing: Your deck stays beautiful without annual treatments.
• Splinter-Free: Safe for bare feet and perfect for families with kids.
• Fade Resistant: Colors stay vibrant even after years of sun exposure.
• Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled materials that keep plastic out of landfills.
• Termite Proof: Insects cannot damage composite materials like they can wood.

Our Installation Process

Installing composite decking requires precision and attention to detail. The boards must be spaced correctly to allow for expansion and contraction, and the substructure needs to be perfectly level and properly supported. We have installed hundreds of composite decks, and we know exactly how to do it right.

Here is what you can expect when we install your composite deck:

Step 1: Site Preparation
We prepare your site by clearing the area, checking for drainage issues, and building a solid foundation. Proper preparation is critical for a long-lasting deck.

Step 2: Frame Construction
We build the frame using pressure-treated lumber that is rated for ground contact. The frame is the backbone of your deck, and we make sure it is square, level, and structurally sound.

Step 3: Board Installation
We install the composite boards using hidden fasteners for a clean, seamless look. Every board is carefully spaced and secured to prevent squeaks or movement.

Step 4: Finishing Touches
We add railings, stairs, and safety features to complete your deck. We also install trim boards around the perimeter for a polished, professional finish.

Cost and Value

Composite decking costs more upfront than wood, but it saves you money over time. You eliminate the annual expense of staining and sealing, and composite materials last much longer than wood without needing repairs or replacement.

A typical composite deck installation in Waltham ranges from $12,000 to $20,000 for a 300-square-foot deck, depending on the brand you choose and the complexity of the design. While this is higher than wood deck costs, the long-term value is undeniable.

Composite decks also add resale value to your home. Buyers appreciate the low-maintenance lifestyle, and a well-built composite deck can increase your property value by thousands of dollars.
