Composite decks
Low-maintenance decks that won’t warp, split or rot. No painting, no sealing: a sweep and an occasional wash keep them looking new.
About composite decks
Composite boards are made from wood fibres and synthetic materials, often recycled. They resist rot and pests, mould, mildew and staining, and they come in a range of colours and textures, so the deck can match the house rather than the other way round.
They cost more than wood up front. What you buy back is every summer weekend you would otherwise spend sanding and staining.

Composite or wood: which is better?
Composite boards are made of recycled plastic and wood fibres. They are low-maintenance and easy to clean, because they don’t need painting or sealing, but they can cost more.
Wood is the traditional choice and usually costs less. It is easy to customize, because you can paint or stain it to match your home, but it needs sealing and staining every few years. In the end it comes down to personal preference and budget.
What deck material is best for Toronto’s climate?
Toronto’s freeze-thaw winters and summer sun are tough on outdoor spaces. Composite is a great fit if you want low maintenance, while cedar is ideal if you love a natural look. We’ll recommend one based on your goals and budget.
How do I clean a composite deck?
Sweep it first to remove loose dirt and debris. Then use a power washer on a low-pressure setting, testing it on a spot nobody will see. Start at the far end of the deck and work back towards the house with slow, steady strokes, and rinse off any soap with clean water when you finish.
How much does a deck cost?
It depends on the square footage, the material, how high the deck is, the stairs and the railing style. Our estimates are free, with straightforward, itemized pricing.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most residential decks land in the 1–3 week range, depending on size, access and custom details. After a site visit, we’ll confirm a clear timeline.
