- Deck resurfacing over framing that is suitable for reuse
- Deck stairs, railings, gates and privacy features

Decking Materials
Choose the Right Deck Material
The best option depends on appearance, maintenance preferences, project design and budget.
Low Maintenance
Composite Decking
Capped composite decking offers a wood-inspired appearance without the routine staining required by natural wood.
Moisture Resistant
PVC Decking
PVC decking is lightweight, moisture resistant and available in multiple color and texture options.
Traditional Appearance
Pressure-Treated Wood
Pressure-treated lumber offers a classic deck surface at a lower initial material cost but requires ongoing care.
Material Comparison
Composite, PVC or Wood?
Use this comparison as a starting point. Final recommendations depend on the deck design and site conditions.
| Material | Key Benefits | Maintenance | Planning Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite | Durable surface, broad color selection and no splinters | Routine washing | Higher initial material investment than pressure-treated wood |
| PVC | Strong moisture resistance and lightweight boards | Routine washing | Expansion and installation details must follow product requirements |
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Traditional appearance and lower initial material cost | Cleaning and periodic stain or sealer | Natural wood can check, crack, fade or move over time |

Do you build both composite and wood decks?
Yes. Terra Nova offers composite, PVC and pressure-treated wood deck options. The appropriate material depends on appearance, maintenance preferences, design and budget.
Can my existing deck be resurfaced instead of completely rebuilt?

Can you replace deck railings and stairs?
Yes. Deck projects can include new railings, stairs, gates, fascia and other approved finishing details.
How long does a deck project take?
The schedule depends on deck size, design, materials, site conditions, inspections and weather. A more accurate timeline can be discussed after reviewing the project.
Do I need a permit for a new deck in New Jersey?
Permit requirements vary by municipality and project scope. The applicable local requirements should be confirmed before construction begins.
