Frequently Asked Questions
Both materials have advantages. Composite decking requires very little maintenance and resists rot, fading, and insect damage. Pressure-treated wood offers a traditional appearance and can be stained or painted over time. The right choice depends on your budget, design goals, and maintenance preferences.
Consider the home's exterior materials, trim colors, windows, doors, and architectural style. Our team can help you compare colors, textures, and railing options that complement the rest of the home.
Many builders choose railing systems designed by the same manufacturer as the decking for a coordinated appearance, although aluminum and cable railing systems are also popular depending on the style of the project.
Most composite decking is designed to last 25 to 50 years. That's significantly longer than a typical pressure-treated wood deck, which often lasts around 10 to 15 years before major repairs or replacement become necessary. Actual lifespan depends on the product, installation, and ongoing care, but today's premium composite decking offers decades of low-maintenance performance.
Yes. Many builders coordinate decking, engineered wood, windows, doors, and other building materials through the same Lummus Supply team. Managing more of the project through one supplier can simplify scheduling and communication.
