What should you consider before building a new deck?
Before you begin building a new deck, there are many things you'll need to think about regarding aesthetics and functionality:
-
Location: Choose a spot that is as level as possible. How much room is available? Take into consideration how much sun exposure it will receive during the times you'll be enjoying it most often. Will you solve too much sun with separate sun-limiting furniture or canopies or would you rather have it custom built and integrated into your deck structure?
-
Budget, Shape, Size: First decide what your budget is, and think about how you will use your new deck. This will help you determine the overall size and shape of your deck.
-
Integration with Current Home and Yard: Think about how your new deck will connect to an existing patio or pool deck. Determine where it will connect to your home and what the best place is inside your house to enter your deck.
-
Deck Features: Will you need outdoor lighting, stairs, or a particular type of railings integrated into your deck?
-
Materials: Are you interested in low maintenance, the beauty of natural wood, vinyl, etc.? Your budget may play a role in your ultimate choice of materials.

Deck Building Materials
What types of deck building material options are there?
-
Composite Decking
Composite decking materials are made from a combination of wood, polymers, and fibers which help make them very durable. Composite deck boards are superior to natural wood decking in many ways because they resist damage from elements, are low maintenance, less prone to warping, splintering, and rotting. They are usually made, in part, from recycled materials, which makes them more friendly for the environment. PVC decking material comes in a wide range of colors and finishes.
-
PVC Decking
Building your deck with PVC (which is short for polyvinyl chloride) offers several benefits including durability, low maintenance, moisture and rot resistant. PVC decks also are resistant to mold, mildew, UV damage, and insects. And because it’s waterproof, your deck will last for decades since it does not rot. PVC decking can also be cooler to the touch than composite decking. Keep in mind that PVC decks can be more expensive than other options and may not have the natural look and feel of wood.
-
Natural Wood Decking
Building your deck with real wood is sustainable, renewable, and has natural beauty giving your outdoor living space a warm and classic look. You can also customize the look of a wood deck by applying either a stain, sealant, or paint. There are also upfront cost savings which are less expensive than building a deck with PVC. Wood decks also stay cooler and offer more traction when it’s wet than synthetic deck materials. Certain types of wood can be very strong and durable, sometimes more so than composite products. Natural wood decks require regular maintenance (like cleaning, sealing, and inspecting), but if well-kept, they will last for many years.
Which decking material has the lowest maintenance?
When building a new deck from scratch or replacing an existing one, JN Home Contractor in Fairport, NY, recommends using PVC or composite decking materials because of their low maintenance and durability. (We don't like to play 'favorites', but in the last decade, our customers have increasingly chosen to build decks with composite decking materials.) When using PVC and composite materials for your deck, there’s no need to scrape, sand, and repaint your new deck as is the case with lumber. Although using wood products may be less costly than composite decking, often the benefits outweigh the added cost. It's important to know that you will need to avoid cleaning chemicals like bleach, chlorine, or other harsh solvents, which can discolor and damage the material. You will also need to stay away from using wire brushes or other abrasive metal tools that can scratch and damage the surface.
