Capped composite
A wood-and-plastic core wrapped in a protective shell. The default for most South Shore backyards: no sanding, no staining, and warranties measured in decades rather than years.
Materials
Four material families, five brands, and a dozen ways to spend the same budget. These pages set out what separates them — warranty, cap coverage, heat, colour range — so the choice is made on facts rather than on a showroom sample.
Material families
Every decking product on the market is a variation on one of these. The brand matters less than which family you are in.
A wood-and-plastic core wrapped in a protective shell. The default for most South Shore backyards: no sanding, no staining, and warranties measured in decades rather than years.
No wood in it at all, so nothing for moisture to feed on. The lightest, the coolest underfoot, and the one to use where a deck sits near water or takes full afternoon sun.
The lowest price per square foot and the highest lifetime cost. It works, it lasts, and it asks for a weekend of your time every year or two.
Real wood cooked rather than chemically treated, which makes it stable and rot-resistant. For owners who want wood to look like wood and are willing to maintain it.

We are not tied to one manufacturer. That matters more than it sounds: a builder who only sells one brand will always find a reason it is the right one.
Availability and colour ranges change between seasons. We confirm what can actually be delivered for your project before you commit to a colour.

Tell us the orientation of the yard, how much sun it takes, whether there is a pool, and how much maintenance you are willing to do. That narrows it faster than any brochure.
