Composite & PVC Decking
Composite and PVC decking is one of the most in-demand options. Besides its attractive looks, this type of decking has a lot of other benefits to consider. A top reason to choose this material is its easy maintenance. Homeowners don’t want a material that can’t withstand any weather or other outdoor obstacles.

There’s nothing like a beautiful traditional wood deck. Its appearance and stain will give your deck that classic look! You will have to choose from an array of finishes that best match your lifestyle and home aesthetic. Here are some traditional finishes to consider:
Mahogany - Red Balu (Batu): This type of decking is known for its durability and resistance to natural wear and tear. Red Balu is rich in color and needs to be sealed or stained to maintain a natural look. This type of mahogany is cheaper than other mahogany but still creates that same classic look. If you’re looking for some wood that won’t let you down, Red Balu is for you!
Premium Pressure Treated Decking: Genuine Wolmanized® Residential Outdoor® Wood is protected by copper azole preservatives and is treated for above-ground and ground-contact use. Water and termite resistant, this decking earned Good Housekeeping’s seal of approval.
Knotty Cedar: Cedar is rich with natural beauty. Cedar has been known to resist weather implications and time. If you’re looking for a deck that can be customized, has excellent durability, and has natural beauty, knotty cedar might be the right wood for your deck.
