What Is Composite Decking?
What is it about composite decking that makes it such a great building material? The unique composition of the material is what makes it so much more durable than traditional wood boards. Composite decking is made from the following ingredients:
- Wood fiber
- Recycled plastic
- Chemical additives
The result is a sustainable deck material that has the beautiful look of wood, but none of the durability issues. At Deck Guru, we use trusted brands like Trex and TimberTech to ensure only the best products are installed.
Benefits of Composite Decking
When you’re trying to decide if composite decking is the right choice for your deck restoration project, consider the following benefits that you’ll enjoy from choosing this material.
It’s built to last. Unlike wood decking, which is susceptible to rotting and breaking down over time, composite decking isn’t impacted by excess moisture. Beyond that, it can withstand the range of weather extremes we experience here in Northern Virginia.
It requires very little maintenance. A wooden deck requires regular painting and staining to keep it looking nice. A composite deck, on the other hand, doesn’t require that kind of maintenance. All you have to do to keep it looking great is rinse it with a garden hose a few times per year.
It keeps feet (and paws) safe. When you, your children, or your pets are walking around on a wood deck, there’s always a chance of getting a painful splinter. Since composite decking isn’t made of wood, you can have peace of mind that tender paws and feet can roam your deck freely without worry.
Why Choose Composite Decking?
When you replace your deck with DeckGuru, we use Trex composite decking. There are many different benefits for using composite decking over wood.Two main benefits include:
- Composite deck board material is very durable and can withstand Northern Virginia weather as well as rotting, warping, and splintering.
- Unlike wood which needs to be sanded, stained, and sealed, composite decks just need to be cleaned regularly with some mild detergent or soap and water.
- Composite comes in a variety of colors and finishes. You can also choose different textures which give off the appearance of natural wood.

Composite Deck FAQs

In many projects, yes. If the existing framing remains structurally sound, DeckGuru may be able to retain it while replacing old decking with composite boards. The frame should be evaluated before this approach is selected.
Maintenance is relatively simple. Regular removal of debris and periodic cleaning with mild soap or detergent and water is generally sufficient. Composite decking does not require routine sanding, staining, or sealing.
Yes. Composite decking is designed to perform through changing temperatures, moisture, humidity, hot summers, and cold winters, making it well suited to Northern Virginia’s variable climate.
Yes. Composite decking is available in a wide range of colors, tones, finishes, and textures, including products designed to recreate the appearance and grain of natural wood.
Although DIY installation is possible for someone with the appropriate construction experience, correct framing, board spacing, fastening, ventilation, and finishing are important. Professional installation can reduce costly mistakes.
For homeowners who value low maintenance and long-term resistance to common wood-deck problems, composite decking can provide significant long-term value despite typically having a higher initial material cost than basic pressure-treated lumber.
