Why Build a Deck?
Adding a deck to your home offers numerous benefits.
For example, decks provide a beautiful outdoor living space for you and your family. Enjoying nature is easy when you have a deck. Even better, your home’s property value also increases!
Building a deck also adds more space to your home and can be used to entertain guests, host family gatherings, or simply relax outdoors. As a great addition to your home, decks are versatile and can be customized to fit the specific needs and preferences of the homeowner. Whether you’re planning to have a multi-level deck, an attached or detached deck, or a deck with built-in seating and lighting, we can make it happen for you.
Finally, decks aren’t as expensive as many homeowners assume. When you consider the value they provide, they prove to be solid long-term investments. After all, only a few home improvement projects provide value like a brand-new deck.
Types of Decks
Not sure which type of deck works best for you? Here’s how you can tell.
Deck builders specialize in designing decks with customers in mind. We offer two types of deck materials that are timeless and durable.
Here’s the difference between the two:
Composite Deck
Composite decks use synthetic wood made from plastic and wood pulp fibers. Unlike many natural kinds of wood, composite wood is reliable and immune to wood rot. It is designed to look like natural wood and often has natural wood grain texture and color variations to mimic the appearance of natural wood. While it may look artificial to some, it depends on what material your deck builder uses.
Composite wood offers many advantages over natural wood, such as:
- Lower maintenance: Composite woods are more reliable than natural woods. As a result, they require less maintenance and repairs. All you need to clean composite wood is a garden hose!
- Improved durability: Water and sun exposure don’t damage composite woods the way it does with natural woods.
- Increased customizability: With composite wood, you have greater design flexibility, it can be manufactured in a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns, giving deck builders the freedom to create unique and custom designs for your projects
- Long-run value: Over time, composite woods save money by requiring fewer repairs.
Wood Deck
Wood decks use natural, non-artificial wood cut from real trees. A timeless option, wood decks remain an incredibly popular choice for homeowners. Deck builders offer a wide selection of natural woods homeowners can choose from.
Wood decks provide a natural, genuine look that many homeowners just love. Although they require more maintenance than composite decks, they are cheaper to build. Taking steps to prevent wood rot and damage can help prevent future damage.
Choosing the right type of wood for your wood deck can be challenging. Here are some of the most common options:
- Pine: Pine wood is inexpensive but beautiful.
- Cedar: While more pricy than pine, cedar wood is easier to maintain. They also offer enhanced resistance to pests and wood rot.
- Redwood: A common choice for homeowners looking for a reddish deck. These decks offer natural resistance to decay, rot, and insects, making them durable and low-maintenance options for outdoor living.
Consider your budget and desired look when deciding which type of wood you want. Also, make sure you plan to have your deck treated and protected against wood rot and damage.
Why Hire Professional Deck Builders?
Building a deck is a challenging task, so make sure you hire the right deck builders for your project.
You might think that you can build your deck. After all, how’s it any different from your average home improvement project? Unfortunately, DIY deck building is extremely dangerous and unsafe.
Decks are complicated structures that require thorough planning and professional skill to build. They must be capable of supporting thousands of pounds of weight and be structurally sound. An amateur deck will more than likely experience structural failure at some point, putting you and your loved ones at risk.
Building your own deck is also illegal in many places. Decks must follow certain city and state codes that only experts are familiar with. Why take this risk when you can hire professional deck builders?
Professional deck builders will ensure your deck is safe and built as per your city codes. Using proper deck-building materials, our team at TrueDecks will build a deck that meets your needs. Best of all, they’ll work with speed and efficiency to finish the job as quickly as possible.

Jeff HosfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did an excellent job very careful of the property around my deck, and I would recommend them to anyone Audrey PartingtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We called DeckMasters (now TrueDecks) several years ago for an estimate to stain our deck in Olney. Carlos, the Project manager came out to assess the job and explained all the parameters to us. His knowledge of the process and his friendly manner made us confident about proceeding, (and the price was right). We were very pleased with the completed job. Recently we noticed some bare spots throughout the deck. Soon after contacting the company about this, Carlos came out and did a quick touch up. Now that I know they also paint concrete porches, I will soon arrange to have that done! I highly recommend Carlos and his team at TrueDecks. A. Partington, Olney, Md. Wesley HollenbachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TrueDecks replaced my deck boards and railing. They did an awesome job, and I am very pleased with the final product. The price was the best of the three quotes that I got, and the quality of work was great! Dan RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TrueDecks did a great job repairing our deck. Project manager Fernando was very knowledgeable and helpful and the construction crew was very professional and completed the job quickly.

Truedecks replaced the Home Owner's Association pool deck and accompanying lattice work in Spring 2025 and did an outstanding job. They caught things the team missed and made recommendations to improve the plan (for minimal cost). We would definately use them again Victor JollyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently hired this company to pressure wash and stain my fence, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and attentive to detail. Oscar Orellana came out to do the initial evaluation. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to explain the entire process clearly. His recommendations helped ensure the best outcome for my fence. Yells was my main point of contact throughout the project and made communication seamless. She kept me updated at every stage, answered all of my questions promptly, and coordinated everything smoothly. The crew did a fantastic job with the pressure washing and staining—the fence looks brand new! They were respectful of my property, cleaned up thoroughly afterward, and completed the work on schedule. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for quality fence work. Thank you, Oscar, Yells, and the rest of the crew for your excellent service! Thank you for the wonderful service, Alana and Victor Jolly Mike KeeganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The TrueDecks Team worked very well together making steady careful progress from start to finish. Pavel discussed all the details at the start and Carlos managed the team to completion. We love our new deck! Carlos took the time to answer all of my questions, discussing options and providing his recommendations. They communicated quickly with their office about any questions and resolved any preferences immediately. TrueDecks workers are very professional and work hard, even when the days were hot. I was impressed!! Donna ShapiroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TrueDecks installed a new trex deck replacing an old wood deck in March 2022. I’ve been very pleased with my new deck. The workforce that installed it was efficient, knowledgeable and very attentive to details. A couple of weeks ago a branch fell on one of the post caps located at bottom of the staircase and broke it. I called TrueDecks’ office and asked about getting a replacement cap. Abigail from their office was very helpful and suggested that I send them an email explaining what happened and send along a picture of the damaged cap. Pavel from TrueDecks followed up with a visit to my house a couple of days later to inspect the damage. He brought along a replacement cap and was able to fix it on the spot. He then inspected the rest of the post caps to make sure they were in good shape. No charge. I was extremely pleased with the attention, thoughtfulness and service that I received from TrueDecks. High recommend their business to anyone shopping for a new deck or any of the other services that they provide!
