Composite Decks Acworth GA

Composite decking typically costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood - usually about 2-3 times more for the materials alone. However, when you factor in the cost of annual maintenance on a wood deck (staining, sealing, repairs), composite often comes out cheaper over the life of the deck. For a rough estimate, most composite deck projects in Acworth run between $45-85 per square foot installed, depending on the brand and complexity of the design.

Yes, composite decking can get hot in direct sunlight - sometimes hotter than wood. This is one of the tradeoffs for low maintenance. Lighter colors tend to stay cooler than darker ones. If your deck gets a lot of direct afternoon sun, we might recommend lighter color options or adding a pergola for shade. Many of our Acworth customers with south-facing decks have found that the benefits of composite still outweigh this drawback.

Most quality composite decking comes with warranties ranging from 25 to 50 years. In reality, a well-installed composite deck can last even longer with basic care. Compare that to a wood deck that typically needs replacing every 15-20 years, and you can see why composite is such a popular choice for Acworth homeowners.

Sometimes, but not always. It depends on the condition of your existing deck's frame. If the joists and posts are still in good shape, we can often remove the old decking boards and install composite on top of the existing structure. We'll need to inspect your current deck to make that call. Either way, we can help you figure out the best approach.
