Wood or Composite Deck Builder Materials?
Not long ago, wood was our only choice. Thanks to the invention of composite, homeowners now have a wide variety of decking materials to choose from.
Whether you want a new deck, improved safety of your existing deck or simply replace the railings and planks. Each option will have its own aesthetics, maintenance and price range.
Pressure-treated Lumber – Wood is still the No. 1 deck builder material sold today. Wood is less expensive compared to composite materials, but typically requires power washing & sealing every 3-4 years.
Composites and Plastic Lumber – The end result is a virtually maintenance fee, stain resistant board that won’t splinter, rot or split, and never requires sanding, refinished or stained.
Composites (Trex, TimberTech, Wolf) made primarily of wood fibers and recycled plastic.
Plastic lumber (Azek, Fiberon) composed of 100 percent plastic (recycled and/or virgin) that do not contain wood fibers. It is highly resistant to staining and decay, free of knots, cracks and splinters.

“Have used HPM for two projects now: Demolition of a damaged deck and reconstruction of a new one, and the replacement of an entry door. On the deck job, we were overseas on a long-planned trip and they kept us updated daily on progress with photos along with updates on challenges they encountered. Both projects were done in a timely and professional manner and I would definitely call them for future projects” A. Carmel, Springfield, VA
