Frequently Asked Questions About Composite Decking

When the time comes to build a new deck, you might want to look around at your options when it comes to materials. Composite decking is a great solution that’s gaining a positive reputation for people who want longevity and good looks. Knowing the answers to some of the most common questions can help you decide if it’s right for your home.

Do These Materials Look Natural?

With advances in the technology used to make them, composites look more natural than ever before. New composite planks have less of a vinyl-like sheen than they used to, and the grain feels more natural and organic. If you’re looking for a good alternative to real wood, this could be a great choice.

How Long Do Composite Decks Last?

A composite deck lasts between 25 and 30 years with proper maintenance. Unlike wood, which usually needs replacement after about 10 years, composite materials withstand a lot of bad weather and moisture. They have a much lower rate of deterioration and don’t expand or contract nearly as much as genuine wood.

What Maintenance Does a Composite Deck Need?

While composite decking is relatively low-maintenance, it still needs some general upkeep that is very important. Clean your deck at least twice a year. You should also clean the gaps between the planks as often as possible to make sure your deck has the ventilation it needs.

From start to finish we enjoyed working with Nathan and the team at Calcon. Nathan helped us envision and design the new deck. He was thoughtful throughout the design process about space, budget, practical use of the space and materials. The Calcon team showed up on time, and they are clearly committed to excellence. Their workmanship is excellent. On time, on budget and on spec excellence from Calcon. Thank you Nathan and your team of builders.

Nathan built Patio cover and deck for us and quality of his workmanship is excellent. He is very professional and and has eye for details. What I liked about him compared to others which I got the quote was that he explained in detail the engineering, he knows his work. He really cares on the architecture details and makes sure, that it fits and aligns well with current building architecture. He is a great contractor and would recommend him for projects. I will definitely hire him for my future projects.

CalCon took on a huge project at our place in Anacortes, WA. He rebuilt a whole ocean facing deck, installed new railings/glass, rebuilt a pergola, and replaced wood with more resilient coastal material. He also added a deck drainage systems along with finishing under the decking. I highly recommend him for any deck project. His crew is very hard working and they did an absolute amazing job. Very competent contractor that has a great attention to detail and kept within the budget.

I recently had to have a large deck replaced. This is the 1st major job I have had to do since the loss of my husband. Being a bit leary of the process and where to go, I contacted Nathan for a bid. He was quick to get back to me and when I explained I would like it done prior to June, he worked my project into his schedule and it is now complete. His care and patience with me through it all was very much appreciated. He and the crew did a great job and clean-up after was well done. I would highly recommend them.

I was very impressed with Nathan from the start who was confident and willing to take on a difficult job replacing our deck that no one else wanted to touch. He was consistently on time, kept the job site organized, and had a strong crew who knew what they were doing and worked well together. I am very pleased with the results so far. We have one more phase of work still to complete and I look forward to enjoying the finished product. Would highly recommend.

Nathan and I had a detailed discussion and agreement before I signed the contract for my 800 sq ft deck. He and his crew performed the job beyond my expectations. I rate them: Communication A+, Quality A+, Engineering and Design A+. I highly recommend Calcon .

Nathan and his crew did an exceptional job building a deck for our new home! It was everything we expected and more. Nathan has a wonderful eye for design and helped guide me with the colors and location. I’m excited to use them again when we’re ready for a deck cover!

Great crew. Super efficient and able to work through any inevitable issues with minimal fuss. We designed a massive 2 part deck and they delivered - including replacement of rotted out elevated deck. See attached pictures for scale.
