Composite boards such as Trex and TimberTech cost more than lumber up front. The payoff is upkeep: Trex says its high-performance decking never needs stain or paint and is cleaned with soap and water.

Omaha's adopted residential code requires composite deck boards, stair treads, guards and handrails to meet ASTM D7032 and to carry a label saying so, with the allowable load and maximum span. It is worth checking the label is on the boards delivered. The same code rates Omaha's termite risk as moderate to heavy, which matters for the wood framing under any deck, composite or not.
Warranty length follows the line, not the brand. At Trex, Enhance carries a 25-year limited residential warranty, Select 35 years and Transcend 50, and the decking is warranted against fading and staining. Make sure the quote names the line.
Composite decking is laid on a frame, normally pressure-treated lumber, and the frame is what the footings, ledger flashing and joist spacing protect. The board's rated span tells the builder how far apart the joists can go.
Cedar, pressure-treated pine or hardwood decks, with the fastening chosen to suit the boards.
Screened porches and three-season rooms, roofed and often built on a new deck.
Composite boards laid on the existing frame, when that frame is sound.
Describe the deck and a licensed Omaha deck builder will contact you about a site visit. The quote is written once they have seen the yard, the house wall and the ground.
