Deck costs vary widely by material. Generally, treated wood starts lower, but Composite/PVC ranges from $8 - $20 per square foot (material only). Use our Free Quote service for a precise breakdown based on your project size.
The initial investment is higher than wood, but it saves you significantly over time. You eliminate constant maintenance (staining, sealing), and your deck is protected by a minimum 25-year Fade & Stain warranty. The value comes from decades of maintenance-free use.
Darker boards retain heat. For the coolest deck surface, look at brands like Trex Lineage, which features technology engineered to help boards stay more comfortable under direct sunlight compared to traditional composites of similar color. Choosing a lighter color always helps!
Many homeowners choose to install composite decks themselves. The process is similar to building a wood deck, but composite materials require specific fasteners and techniques to ensure a professional finish. We provide all the decking supplies, fasteners, and accessories you need for a successful DIY project, plus FREE advice.
Composite decking is specifically engineered to withstand Canada's diverse climate, from freezing winters to hot, dry summers. Unlike wood, it resists warping, cracking, and rot caused by moisture and extreme temperature changes. Our brands, including Trex especially, are designed for superior performance in these conditions.
