Composite and wood decks
The layout is matched to the doors, the grade, and how the yard is used. Composite boards hold color and are washed instead of refinished. Pressure-treated wood is the choice when the house wants real boards, with a straight talk about maintenance first.
Framing, footings, and the ledger are built to code. Railings can be composite, metal, or wood, with posts tied into the frame. Permit rules differ by county. ExteriorMax handles the permit and HOA packet. We do not publish a fee schedule by city.
Soft boards, wobbly rails, popped fasteners, and a loose ledger are the signs the deck page uses. A county wind headline is not a deck inspection.
