Benefits Of Composite Decks

Benefits Of Composite Decks

A wood deck can really show its age over the years. Also, the maintenance to maintain your wood deck can be more than a little annoying. That is why more and more homeowners are seeing the benefits of composite decks. Composite decks made from Trex materials can maintain the beauty of the deck for years to come with little to no maintenance. There are several advantages to a composite deck over a wood deck and we will cover a few.

Benefits Of Composite Decks – Low Maintenance

Wood decks need constant upkeep each season. From sanding to staining there is almost always maintenance that is needed. Where a composite deck would just need some soap and water to clean it up once a year. In addition to being durable and low maintenance, a composite deck made with Trex materials has a 25-year fade and stain warranty.  Another benefit of a composite deck is its durability.

Composite decking is designed to resist scratching, fading, staining, and mold. Also, a composite deck is insect-proof. Another factor is the aesthetics of a composite deck. With a multitude of color choices, and a natural look homeowners can really choose the exact look they are going for. Environmentally friendly is another aspect of these decks. The deck boards themselves are made from recycled materials.

Finally, the value is another added benefit. Initially, a composite deck may be higher but in the long run with way less maintenance and longer durability, you will save money. If you in search of an experienced composite deck builder then look no further than Miles Bradley. We have built hundreds of composite decks throughout the years all over Michigan and Illinois.

Elk Grove Village, IL Above Ground Pool Deck Using Trex Transcend Composite Decking

If you’ve ever dreamed of getting a pool, but couldn’t justify getting an in-ground pool, this is a great alternative. This family bought an above-ground pool, then we built the multi-level deck around it. Not only do they now have space for the pool and the hot tub, but they also created an area to entertain guests comfortably around the above-ground pool. What we like most about this design is how the multi-level deck created a space to keep the hot tub isolated away from the elements and give the owners a little privacy. Along with providing a classy and easily accessible way to enter the pool.

Cheaper Lumber Means Lower Prices For Our Customers!

Did you know that the cost of lumber is considerably lower during the winter months? Lumber prices tend to fluctuate depending on the time of year. One of the main reasons why the wintertime is the absolute best time to have your deck built with Miles Bradley is because it’s the time when lumber is the cheapest!

Lower demand for construction throughout the U.S., in general, has lowered the cost of lumber nationwide, but the demand is especially lower during the winter months as fewer people are embarking on their outdoor projects. This is where you can step in and become the big lumberwinner.

We build our high-quality decks, screened enclosures, gazebos, staircases, railings, or other great products in Michigan all year round, and we offer winter specials of 10-20% off your project!

It’s similar to the saying, “out of sight, out of mind” when it comes to having your deck built during the cold winter months. You naturally don’t think to have a deck built when you open your back curtains and just see mounds and mounds of snow, which we understand. But by the time the weather warms up, and you realize you enjoy being outside more often, you begin to think about adding on to your home. By thinking ahead and allowing us to take advantage of lowered costs of lumber right now during the winter, you not only save money but you make it so that you can lounge on your deck on the very first nice day of the year!

The low-maintenance composite decks we build in Michigan can’t be beaten, so don’t wait until the weather warms up and the price of lumber increases to start your project. Contact us now! Also, time is running out to capitalize on our offer of a free set of six rail lights with a photo/cell timer when you purchase your new deck. The deal expires on February 28 so make sure you don’t miss out!
