As one of the leading composite deck companies in Raleigh, NC, we pride ourselves on building composite decks that will be enjoyed for decades to come. We believe that engineered material (such as composite lumber) is an investment in not only the value of your home, but in the quality of life for your family.
Read on to learn more about how JM Decks & Fences can introduce this high performance material to your outdoor living space.
Composite lumber is made from recycled plastics, sawdust and other wood byproducts. Although the upfront costs of wood may appear to be cheaper, wood decking requires a weather protectant or stain to be applied every 3-5 years, which is both expensive and labor intensive.
And unfortunately, regardless of the effort you put into maximizing the life of your wood deck, the decking will eventually need to be replaced. ut valued for its efficiency and striking resemblance to real wood, which manufacturers have perfected. It was engineered to offer the look and workability of real wood, with many added benefits.
It is more popular than ever for homeowners to choose to have their decks built from composite lumber rather than using real wood. Composite decking requires little to no maintenance over time. It won’t rot, twist, or splinter like real wood, making composite material an excellent choice for decking.
There are many more advantages to using composite decking. While traditional wood decks have a lifetime of 10 to 15 years, composite decks, resistant to rot, bugs, and weather, typically lasts twice as long. Composite decks are easier to maintain and keep clean. Plus, the engineered lumber doesn’t fade.
For composite decking, there is a large range of pricing. The difference between expensive and more economy composites isn’t a matter of quality, but of style, color, and texture. If you’re wanting the most realistic look, complete with texture, be prepared to shop a little on the high side.
The higher the quality of composite decking, the more it resembles real wood. We recommend finding an honest deck company that will recommend a product based on your needs.
JM Decks and Fences installed both a new deck for us and fenced in our backyard. We are very pleased with this project and enjoy it every day! Communication is great and we're happy we chose them for our upgrade!
JM Decks and Fences were great!! Very professional, quality work and fast.
There were a few hiccups along the way due to COVID-19 which delayed our fence installation but once the materials arrived and they started work, it took them 1 day to install our fence. They did solid work and we are very happy with it. Definitely recommend them!.
Antonio and his crew did a wonderful job on my deck. They were very professional and listen to what I wanted. They were punctual and always cleaned after they completed the job.
