Common Types of Composite Decking

Composite decking has come a long way, and today’s options offer a wide range of styles, textures, and performance levels. Here are the most popular composite decking lines we install for homeowners in the Willamette Valley:

Trex Decking – As a Trex Certified Installer, we’re trained to install Trex’s full product lineup. Trex boards are made from recycled materials, resist fading and staining, and come in a variety of colors and wood-grain textures that mimic the look of natural hardwood.

TimberTech Decking – TimberTech offers both capped composite and capped polymer lines, giving homeowners options that range from natural wood aesthetics to ultra-modern finishes. Their boards are known for superior scratch and stain resistance.

Dekorators Decking – Dekorators composite boards are mineral-based, making them exceptionally durable and resistant to moisture. They’re a strong choice for Oregon’s wet climate and offer a clean, consistent appearance.

Capped Composite – Capped composite boards feature a protective polymer shell that wraps the entire board, locking out moisture and preventing fading, scratching, and mold growth. This is the most popular option we install.

Capped Polymer (PVC) – For homeowners who want the absolute highest moisture resistance, capped polymer boards contain no wood fibers at all. They’re lightweight, cool underfoot, and ideal for covered decks or pool areas.

Things to Consider When Getting a Composite Deck for Your Home

Composite decking is one of the smartest investments you can make in your outdoor living space. Here are a few things to think about before you get started:

• Product line and price tier — Trex, TimberTech, and Dekorators each offer entry-level, mid-range, and premium lines. Higher-tier boards typically offer richer colors, more realistic textures, and longer warranties.
  
  
• Color and style — Composite boards come in dozens of color options, from warm browns and natural grays to deep multi-tonal finishes. We’ll bring samples so you can see how they look against your home.
  
  
• Oregon’s climate — Moisture, moss, and UV exposure are real concerns in the Salem, OR area. Composite decking handles all three far better than traditional wood, but capped boards offer the best long-term protection.
  
  
• Substructure compatibility — Composite boards can often be installed on an existing wood frame if the joists and framing are in good condition, which can save time and money.
  
  
• Long-term value — While composite costs more upfront than wood, you’ll save significantly on staining, sealing, and repairs over the life of your deck. Most premium composite products carry 25- to 50-year warranties.
  
  
• Railing and lighting options — Composite railing systems and integrated LED deck lighting pair perfectly with composite boards and create a polished, finished look.

Cost of Composite Decks in Salem, Oregon

Composite decking is a premium product, and pricing varies based on the brand, product line, deck size, and any custom features. Here’s a general idea of what to expect:

• Entry-level composite lines like Trex Select or TimberTech Prime offer solid performance and clean aesthetics at the most accessible price point.
  
  
• Mid-range lines like Trex Enhance deliver more color options and realistic wood-grain textures at a moderate step up in cost.
  
  
• Premium lines like Trex Transcend, TimberTech Pro, and Dekorators Voyage offer the richest colors, deepest textures, and longest warranties—ideal for homeowners who want the best.
  
  
• Custom features such as built-in seating, multi-level layouts, railings, and integrated lighting will add to the total investment.
