Composite Deck Materials
Composite decking isn’t new to the deck building world but it is becoming more popular. There have been technology advancements in the last 20 years to help improve the performance of composite decking.
Top 6 reasons we recommend composite decks:
- Durability. Composite materials are engineered to last
- Low maintenance requirements -- no need to re-stain and re-seal
- Long manufacturer warranties
- Great looks, finishes and color options
- Visually appealing, increased curb appeal
- Our decking system includes hidden fasteners
Wood Deck Materials
Wood is the traditional deck building material. Treated lumber has changed in recent years, which means the maintenance process of wood deck has changed as well. Wood is still a popular option for building your deck, but before you use wood there’s a few things we’d like you to know.
4 Things to Know About Wood Decks:
- Requires sealing within 30 days of installation
- Annual maintenance required to ensure that your wood deck will be protected
- Life expectancy on a wood deck is much shorter than a composite deck
- As the economical option this deck is easier on the budget initially

Reviews
Knowledgeable Team and Outstanding Craftsmanship
We were extremely satisfied with the quality work of Kline Home Exteriors. Ron Knox was our Sales Rep and he was truly a gem to work with. He was very knowledgeable and helped us a great deal in figuring out the best solution for our deck replacement. Irvin and his crew of workers did an amazing job and actually built us a deck that was better than we could have imagined. The crew worked hard (and fast) and they paid attention to every detail. We will not hesitate to use them again for our next home improvement project. Kline is a great company!
Exceptional Craftsmanship and Excellent Communication
Kline did an outstanding job on my new deck. The crew did an exceptional job. I would use them again and have become a customer for life. The communication throughout the project was excellent.
