Composite and PVC decking eliminates seasonal staining while offering a 25–30 year manufacturer warranty for Durham homeowners. You get the look of wood with a surface that resists rot, insects, and fading — ideal for busy households and lakefront exposure.
Composite is a mix of wood fibres and plastic; PVC is fully synthetic. Composite has a more natural feel and lower cost, while PVC offers superior moisture resistance — the better choice for docks, pool surrounds, and lakefront properties.
Composite costs more up front than pressure-treated wood but pays back in skipped staining, sealing, and board replacement over 10–15 years. For homeowners who'd rather use their deck than maintain it, it's the better long-term value.
Darker composite boards can run warm in direct sun. We recommend lighter tones and air-circulating framing for full-sun decks, and we'll walk you through brand options rated for cooler surface temperatures.

Durham decking FAQ
We install TimberTech, Trex, Fiberon, and Deckorators among others, selected for warranty coverage and performance in Canadian climate.
Yes. Composite boards are installed on a wood or steel frame — typically pressure-treated joists spaced at 12" or 16" on centre per the manufacturer's span tables.
Sometimes, if the frame is level, sound, and correctly spaced. We inspect the framing first and won't install over a compromised structure.
