Whether you choose natural wood or composite materials, investing in a deck adds value to your home. And while cost is often the primary consideration, it’s equally important to understand the value you’re getting.

You’ve probably already noted that composite decking boards often cost more initially than natural wood. But the price difference has narrowed considerably as the cost of wood has risen in recent years. 

Composite decking boards combine two or more materials—typically wood fibers and one or more forms of plastic—to improve the appearance and durability of decks. Composite decking cuts and fastens like wood but performs better because it eliminates the imperfections of natural materials. 

Because it’s a synthetic product, you don’t have to worry about warping, knots, splits or other defects when working with composite decking. Not only that, but you also never have to treat it for termites or carpenter ants, because it isn’t susceptible to insect damage. 

Composite decking never needs staining or refinishing. You do need to wash it occasionally to keep it looking its best, but you can do that with soap and water.

You can expect a composite wood deck to last from 25 to 30 years, with minimal maintenance. Hardwood and pressure-treated decking, on the other hand, may last 15 years, if you’re lucky.
