How We Approach Composite Decks

We install composite decks across Bergen and Passaic County, NJ as certified Trex, TimberTech and AZEK installers. Composite is the right answer for most homeowners here: it shrugs off the freeze-thaw cycle that eats wood finishes, and its maintenance schedule is a garden hose.

What composite does not forgive is casual framing. Every board line specifies its own joist spacing, gapping and fastener system, and missing the spec quietly voids a 25- to 50-year material warranty. That paperwork survives our installs because the installation follows it.

Composite boards can go onto a sound existing frame or a new one — when the structure underneath is tired, this becomes a Deck Replacement conversation, and when there is no deck yet it starts at Deck Installation. We will tell you honestly which project you actually have.

How It Works

Our proven process from first call to final walkthrough.

1

Free in-home estimate

We measure, check what is under any existing boards, and bring samples so you judge colour in your own light, not a showroom's.

2

Board line and colour

Trex, TimberTech and AZEK sit at different price points with different capping. We lay out the real differences and price two options side by side.

3

Frame check or new frame

Composite is heavier and less forgiving of uneven joists than wood. An existing frame gets inspected and corrected before a single board arrives.

4

Installation to spec

Manufacturer joist spacing, gapping for expansion, and the hidden fastener system the warranty names. No improvising.

5

Registration and walkthrough

We register the material warranty in your name and walk the finished deck with you before the crew leaves.

What Composite Decks Covers

Typically 3 days to 2 weeks depending on the frame.

New composite decks

Frame and boards built together, so the structure matches the board spec from the first joist.

  • Frame built to board spacing spec
  • Hidden fastener installation
  • Warranty registration

Composite resurfacing

New composite boards and railings on your existing sound frame.

  • Frame inspection and correction
  • Board and fascia replacement
  • Railing upgrade options

PVC and capped polymer

AZEK-class boards for full sun, pool surrounds and the lowest maintenance available.

  • Heat and colour consultation
  • PVC-specific fastening
  • Matching trim and fascia

The material

What Composite Actually Buys You

The premium over wood is real, so it should be clear what it pays for.

  • No sanding, no sealing

    Capped boards are washed, not refinished. The maintenance line in your budget effectively disappears.

  • Colour that stays

    The cap resists UV fade that turns wood grey by year three. Weathering is measured in shades, not in stripping cycles.

  • No splinters

    A real difference with kids and bare feet. The surface stays smooth for its whole life.

  • Freeze-thaw indifference

    New Jersey winters crack finishes and check boards. Composite does not care, which is most of why it fits this climate.

  • Consistent boards

    No knots, no crowning, no culling a quarter of the delivery. What is installed looks like what was ordered.

  • Warranties with decades on them

    25 to 50 years on the material — but only when the installation follows the spec, which is the part we are certified for.

Honest limits

Where Composite Is Not the Answer

We sell a lot of composite. These are the cases where we tell homeowners not to buy it.

  • Heat on bare feet

    Dark boards in full sun run hotter than wood. South-facing and poolside decks want lighter colours or a different plan.

  • Tight budgets, big footprints

    On a very large deck the material premium multiplies. Pressure-treated wood covers the same area for much less, honestly maintained.

  • Painted looks

    If what you want is a painted deck refreshed to a new colour every few years, composite fights you. Wood takes paint; composite should not be painted.

  • Structural repair in disguise

    New boards on a failing frame is money buried. If the structure is done, the job is Deck Replacement, not resurfacing.

  • Full-sun heat plus dogs' claws

    Cheaper uncapped composite scratches and holds heat. If budget forces uncapped board, wood is often the better compromise.

  • Historic looks

    Some houses genuinely want real wood grain and a stained finish. Wood Deck Construction is still in our catalogue for exactly that.

What Drives the Cost of a Composite Deck

Two composite decks with the same footprint can be priced far apart. These are the reasons.

Board line and cap
Entry composite and premium capped polymer differ by multiples, not percentages. This is the largest single lever.
Frame condition
Reusing a sound frame saves real money. Correcting or rebuilding one moves the price toward a full replacement.
Hidden fasteners and trim
The clip system, matching fascia and picture-frame borders finish the deck properly and are priced per foot.
Railing choice
Composite rail systems cost more than wood balusters, and mixed metal-and-composite systems more still.
Stairs
Composite stair treads and risers with closed stringers take more material and labour per step than the deck field.
Demolition
If old boards or a whole deck come out first, tear-out and disposal are their own line.

When to call

Signs You Are Ready for Composite

The homeowners happiest with composite tend to arrive with one of these.

  • You refinish on a schedule

    Every second spring on your knees with a sander is exactly the labour composite deletes.

  • The wood is fine, the finish is not

    Boards that keep shedding stain no matter the product are candidates for boards that need none.

  • You are staying put

    The premium amortises over years of ownership. Ten more years in the house makes the maths easy.

  • Splinters ended barefoot season

    If the deck is being avoided in summer, the surface has failed at its actual job.

  • The frame is young, the boards are old

    A sound structure under tired boards is the perfect composite retrofit — most of the cost is already paid.

  • You want the last deck you buy

    Done once, to spec, with a registered warranty, this is the surface you stop thinking about.

The job that was done by House of Decks LLC for our new deck was really good. They started by removing the old deck and then assisted us in choosing a layout and material options, explaining everything before beginning the process. Their workers arrived on schedule, were fast at working and kept our backyard clean. The end result is a very solid deck with straight boards and railings, which has greatly improved the backyard area. We are really pleased with their work and would recommend them for any deck installation. Thank you guys!

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions homeowners ask us at almost every estimate.

Trex, TimberTech or AZEK — which is best?

They are all boards we are certified to install, at different price points with different capping. The honest answer depends on sun exposure, colour and budget — we bring samples to the estimate and price two options side by side.

Can you put composite boards on my existing deck frame?

Often, and it saves real money — but composite is heavier and specifies tighter joist spacing than wood. We inspect the frame first and correct it where needed; if the structure is failing, the honest project is Deck Replacement.

Does composite get hot in the sun?

Darker boards do — hotter than wood. For south-facing decks and pool surrounds we steer toward lighter colours or discuss whether a different surface fits better.

Is composite really maintenance-free?

Maintenance-light. It never needs sanding, staining or sealing — but it appreciates a wash once or twice a year, like siding.

How long does a composite deck last?

Material warranties run 25 to 50 years depending on the line — provided the boards were installed to the manufacturer's spec. That condition is why certification matters.

Can composite be painted or stained later?

It should not be. The cap is the finish. If you want a surface you recolour over the years, wood with our Deck Painting or Wood Staining services is the better fit.

What is the difference between capped composite and PVC?

Capped composite has a wood-fibre core; PVC boards like AZEK's have none, so they handle moisture and heat better and cost more. Poolside and full-sun decks are where PVC earns its premium.

Do composite decks need a permit too?

The boards do not, but the structure does — a new frame or structural changes need the same township permit as any deck. Resurfacing a sound frame usually does not. We confirm with your town either way.

What Happens at the Free Estimate

No pressure and no deposit — just an hour, a tape measure, and a written number you can hold anyone else's quote against.

We measure and look underneath
Grade, drainage, access for a truck, and how the existing structure was built. That is what makes a number real rather than a guess over the phone.
You get it in writing
Materials, dimensions and a timeline on paper, so you can compare our quote against anyone else's on the same terms.
About an hour, at your convenience
Evenings and Saturdays included. We work two counties, so we are rarely more than half an hour away.
No obligation, no deposit to quote
The estimate is free and yours to keep. Nothing is owed if you decide not to build, or decide to build later.
