Chances are when you look around your neighborhood, most of your neighbors have decks, and they are most likely made out of wood. There is no question that treated wood decks were the most popular option for many years, especially with the issues that came with composites when they were first introduced into the market. It’s a far easier material to work with for DIYers, it’s lighter, the appearance can be changed fairly easily, and it actually looks like real wood (because it is)! But with all the varying lines of composite decking now stretching across nearly every price category, paired with the increased cost of wood, what is the best option today? Let’s dive into all the details and find out!
Let's talk about something that we have been seeing alot of lately - inflatable hot tubs on decks. A quick Google search of “Can I put an inflatable hot tub on my deck” produces almost exclusively “Yes! Of course you can” answers. But when we actually begin reading them, these absolute “yes” answers turn into “well, maybe” answers. While these compact and lightweight options are a great entry level option to be able to enjoy the benefits of a hot tub, are they actually okay to be used on your deck? Let’s get into it!
It’s finally time. You’ve been looking at that old siding for years, and as it gets older every year, you have more repairs to do every year. Watching as more and more of your neighbors change from their old original siding to a new and modern look and waiting for the day that you could join them. But then you realize, you never even thought about what you want to put on your house! There are so many different kinds of siding, fiber cement, engineered wood, vinyl, how are you supposed to know what’s best, especially when all your friends tell you something different? That’s where we come in and (hopefully) by the end of this, you’ll be able to make an informed decision that you can be happy with for many years to come!
