Deck & Fene FAQs

How do I decide which material is best for my deck or fence?

Selecting the right material involves considering factors like climate, maintenance, longevity, and appearance. Wood offers natural beauty but may need seasonal care to prevent rot and warping. Composite materials resist moisture and insect damage, making them great for humid or rainy climates. Metal options such as aluminum and wrought iron provide strength and modern looks, requiring minimal upkeep. Vinyl fences are low maintenance and can withstand harsh weather but may be less customizable. A professional contractor can help assess your needs and recommend the best option.

Many local municipalities require permits for building decks or fences, especially if the structure exceeds a certain height or impacts property lines. Permits ensure that the construction complies with safety codes and zoning regulations. A reputable contractor will help you determine if permits are needed and handle the application process, saving you time and avoiding potential legal issues.

Maintenance varies by material. Wood decks and fences generally require annual cleaning and periodic staining or sealing to protect against moisture and UV damage. Composite decks need less upkeep—usually just routine cleaning with soap and water. Metal fences benefit from inspections for rust and repainting when necessary. Proper maintenance not only extends the life of your investment but also keeps it looking its best year-round.
