FAQ With Madison's Best Deck Company

  • Is composite or real wood better for a deck?
    Composite materials, such as Trex, are becoming more and more popular as an alternative to natural wood decking. Composite decking is less expensive to maintain than natural wood, averaging only $5-$15 per year. Composite decking is also more resistant to weather, mold, and insect damage. A quick wash with some soap and water is all that is needed to keep your composite deck looking like new. With very little maintenance required, composite decking is a great choice for those who want to enjoy their deck without all the work.
  • How long does a new deck take to build?
    A deck is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and extend your living space. But before you can kick back and relax, you need to build it! The size of your deck will dictate how long the project will take, with smaller decks generally taking a few days and larger decks requiring 2 weeks or more. Professionally installed decks will usually take on the low end of that timeline, while do-it-yourselfers can expect to add a few days (or even weeks) to the project. Either way, be sure to use quality materials to build your deck. Not only will this make the finished product look better, but it will also last longer and require less maintenance.
  • Do I need to maintenance my deck after installation?
    If you're using real wood then yes. Real wood will need to be sealed with a high quality wood sealer in order to prevent any damage to the deck. You will need to do this about once a year. OR Using composite material you will not have annual maintenance beyond just washing and sweeping any unwanted grass, leaves, or dust off your deck. Composite decks like Trex, TimberTech, MoistureShield, and Deckorators are notorious for their very low-maintenance materials. The extra cost for composite goes a long way when accounting for annual maintenance and time spent maintenancing real wooden decks.
  • Composite deck Vs. real wood deck?
    A composite deck is a popular choice for many homeowners. These decks are made from a mix of wood and plastic, which makes them more durable and longer-lasting than traditional wooden decks. Composite decks are also low-maintenance, as they don't require regular sanding, staining, or sealing. There are many different brands of composite decking on the market, such as Trex, TimberTech, MoistureShield, and Deckorators. Each brand has its own unique benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to do your research before choosing the right one for your home.
