Choosing Between Wood vs. Composite Decking

When designing your new deck with Archadeck of Central Iowa, choosing between a wooden and composite deck is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Both materials offer unique benefits, and understanding their differences can help you select the right option for your outdoor space.

• Wood Decks: Wood decks offer a classic, natural look that many homeowners love. The rich textures and grains of wood create a timeless aesthetic that blends beautifully with your home's natural surroundings. Popular choices like cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine provide a warm, organic feel that ages gracefully. Wood decking is often more affordable upfront but requires regular maintenance such as staining, sealing, and occasional repairs to prevent rot, warping, or insect damage.
• Composite Decks: Composite decking, on the other hand, is a modern, low-maintenance alternative made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic. It mimics the look of natural wood but comes with added durability and resistance to weather, mold, and insects. Composite decks require little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and won't fade or splinter over time. While composite decking has a higher initial cost than wood, the long-term savings in maintenance make it a cost-effective choice for many homeowners.

Whether you prefer wood's traditional beauty or the ease and durability of composite, at Archadeck of Central Iowa, our experts can design a custom deck that fits your style, budget, and outdoor living needs.

Upgrade Your Property with a Custom Deck or Sunroom

With our dedicated team of professional deck contractors, your backyard will come to life. In no time, you will reap the dual benefits of both monetary and experiential returns on your investment. Here are some key perks that our services consistently deliver to homeowners:

1. We extend Your Living Area – A sunroom is a fantastic way to expand your square footage and provide your home with a lovely conservatory for lounging indoors amidst sunlight and plants. Enjoy the great outdoors from inside glass walls and get that suntan you have been craving with the benefits of relaxing in a private, enclosed, and weather-protected space!
2. We increase your property value – Few home projects offer both material and experiential returns on your financial investment, like building outdoor additions or amenities. On average, homeowners who add new wooden decks report that over 75% of their costs are recouped by virtue of the boosted resale value of their home. Screened-in porches, on average, get around 75% ROI as well, and even more expensive sunrooms commonly recoup over half as much as their initial costs. Overall, backyard improvements tend to deliver between 50%-80% ROI, and this is not even factoring in the intrinsic value of enjoying these lovely additions.
3. We offer a superior way to throw a soiree – Do you enjoy hosting social gatherings, organizing charming summer potlucks, or throwing cocktail parties? If so, we all know how cramped and stuffy it can feel when everyone is confined inside. With a beautiful backyard or front yard improvement, you can relocate the party outside so you can wine, dine, and entertain your guests amidst the natural elements. There is nothing better than enjoying the company and good humor of loved ones in the cozy and curated security of your own home.
4. We give you a perfect place to relish a breath of fresh air – With more jobs switching to work-at-home models, it can start to feel quite claustrophobic and distracting inside. Sometimes, all one needs to shift the mood, and increase productivity levels, is to take your laptop and sit in the backyard. With a patio, screened-in porch, deck, or pergola, you can set up a home office alternative that allows you to soak in some Vitamin C and get a nice refreshing gulp of undiluted oxygen while crossing items off your professional checklist.
