Advantages of Wood Deck Installs
Wood Decks are Natural – Wooden decks are authentic with a natural warmth and smells good.
Wood Decks are Cooler than Composite – Even on the hottest days, wood decks remain relatively comfortable underfoot whereas composite decking can grow uncomfortably hot. Wood decks naturally absorb and retain less heat than most composite decks.
Framing with Pressure Treated Lumber Helps Prevent Decay & Pests. In addition, some wood species such as cedar is naturally resistant to rot.
Deck Designs
Decks are an extension of your home, so it is important your deck reflects style with a custom design and detailed craftsmanship. Following are some of the more popular deck options All Pro Exterior Remodeling offer:
Diagonal Decking – We can install deck boards at a 45-degree angle across the joists. In addition to looking amazing, diagonal decking increases the strength of the deck as as joists are installed every 12″ instead of the usual 16″.
Custom Shaped Decks – Who says your deck has to be square or rectangular? We can build octagon, rounded or even multi level decks with stairs and railings.
Deck Pergolas – A pergola provides overhead shade while also adding personality to your deck.
Built-In Deck Benches – Built in benches work especially well for composite decks and give a seamless look to your deck furniture. Deck benches also eliminate the risk of regular deck chairs and tables sliding on deck boards and creating scratch marks on the deck.
