What is the best material for a low-maintenance deck?
Composite decking is one of the best low-maintenance options available today. Trusted brands like Trex®, TimberTech®, and Deckorators® offer high-performance materials that resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold, without the need for staining, painting, or sealing like traditional wood.
Benefits of composite decking:
- Long-lasting color and texture: Wood-like finishes that stay beautiful with minimal upkeep
- Durability: Built to handle foot traffic, UV rays, rain, and humidity—ideal for East Tennessee’s changing climate
- Easy cleaning: Occasional soap and water is all it takes
- Eco-conscious materials: Many options are made from recycled content
If you’re looking for a deck that delivers lasting beauty, durability, and minimal maintenance, composite decking is a smart investment.
How much money can a composite deck save compared to a traditional wood deck?
Composite decks, like those from Trex®, TimberTech®, and Deckorators®, may cost more upfront, but they can save homeowners thousands over time. Traditional wood decks require ongoing maintenance such as staining, sealing, and repairs, often adding $300–$800 per year in upkeep.
Over a 25-year lifespan, a wood deck could cost 2–3 times its original price in maintenance alone. In contrast, composite decking only needs occasional cleaning, no staining or sealing required, making it a smart, long-term investment. Homeowners can save $8,000 to $20,000 or more over the life of their deck, all while enjoying a beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor space.
What are the benefits of an under-deck dry ceiling?
An under-deck dry ceiling system channels rainwater away from the space beneath your elevated deck, creating a dry, usable area below. It’s one of the best ways to maximize your outdoor living space, especially in climates like East Tennessee, where rain can be frequent.
Key benefits include:
- Weather protection: Keeps the space below dry and sheltered from rain and snow.
- Additional living space: Great for creating a covered patio, lounge area, or outdoor kitchen under your deck.
- Storage options: Protect tools, furniture, or lawn equipment from the elements.
- Aesthetic upgrade: Finished ceilings with lighting and fans improve the look and feel of the area beneath your deck.
- Improved home value: Adds functional square footage and increases the appeal of your outdoor space.
Whether you’re looking to relax out of the sun or entertain during a light rain, an under-deck system turns overlooked space into a year-round asset.
