Frequently Asked Questions

What types of decking materials are best?

The type of decking you choose depends on a lot of factors, like budget and maintenance expectations. APCO installs a variety of high-quality deck solutions:

• Wood decks – Wood decks are affordable, versatile, and fit into almost any budget. They require regular maintenance to maintain a like-new appearance and should be checked regularly for mildew.
• Composite decks – Composite decks have a higher upfront cost, but the expense pays for itself by eliminating maintenance costs. All your composite deck will ever need is an occasional cleaning.
• Pressure-treated decks – Pressure treated decks are made from wood that has been chemically treated to and prevent rot and insect damage. It’s a cost-effective and durable decking option.

How do I clean and maintain my deck?

Maintenance depends on your deck material. If you have a composite deck, all you need is a soft-bristle brush and some soap to keep your deck looking brand-new. Wood decks require a bit more work, pressure washing, and staining will need to be completed at least once a year.

How often should I do maintenance on my deck?

You should regularly inspect your deck for signs of mildew and clean it regularly to prevent slips and staining. If your deck is constructed with wood, at least once a year you should replace or repair loose boards, pressure wash, stain, and seal.

Can I power wash composite decking?

Pressure washing is not recommended for composite decking. If done incorrectly, it can cause permanent damage. You can clean your composite deck with a garden hose and a soft-bristle brush.

Can I install a deck myself?

This is a case of “can vs. should.” Yes, you could build a deck yourself, but will it last? Will it be sturdy and safe for your friends and family to enjoy at the same time? For a long-lasting deck that adds value to your home and will be enjoyable for years to come, you should contact an experienced professional.
