The honest rundown

What Pressure-treated decking Is Actually Like

Homeowners working to a tighter budget, or anyone who wants a real wood deck and does not mind the upkeep.

What you gain

  • Lowest material cost of the surfaces we install
  • Treated to resist rot and insect damage
  • Easy to repair or replace a single board years later
  • Takes stain, so you can change the color down the road
  • Real wood look and feel

What to keep in mind

  • Needs cleaning and re-staining or sealing on a regular schedule
  • Boards can cup, crack or splinter as they age
  • New lumber has to dry out before it takes stain
  • Shorter service life than composite or PVC

Quick answers

Straight Answers, No Runaround

How often does a pressure-treated deck need staining?
Plan on cleaning it every year and re-staining or sealing every couple of years, sooner on a deck that bakes in full sun. Skipping it is what leads to graying, cracking and splintering.
Is a pressure-treated deck cheaper than composite?
The materials cost less up front. Over the life of the deck you spend the difference back in stain, sealer, labor and board replacement, so the right answer depends on how long you plan to keep it.
Can I stain a new pressure-treated deck right away?
No. The lumber has to dry out first or the stain will not absorb. We tell you when the deck is ready and what product holds up best around here.
Can I switch to composite later?
Sometimes. If the framing is still sound when you are ready, we can re-deck over the existing structure. We build our framing with that possibility in mind.
