FAQ
Composite and PVC decking perform especially well in Charleston’s heat, humidity, and rain because they resist moisture, rot, and insect damage. Ipe hardwood is also a strong option for homeowners wanting a natural look with exceptional durability.
High-quality composite decking can last 25–50 years with minimal maintenance, while traditional wood decks typically require regular sealing and may need replacement much sooner due to moisture and weather exposure.
Composite decking has a higher upfront cost, but it often saves money long-term by reducing maintenance, repairs, and replacement costs compared to pressure-treated wood.
In many cases, decking boards can be replaced if the underlying structure is still sound. A professional inspection can determine whether a full replacement or a resurfacing is the best option.
Most deck installations or replacements take between one and two weeks, depending on the size of the deck, material selection, and any structural or permitting requirements.
