Wood vs. Composite Decking: Which is Right for You?
When designing your new deck with Archadeck of Central Iowa, choosing between a wooden and composite deck is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Both materials offer unique benefits, and understanding their differences can help you select the right option for your outdoor space.
- Wood Decks: Wood decks offer a classic, natural look that many homeowners love. The rich textures and grains of wood create a timeless aesthetic that blends beautifully with your home's natural surroundings. Popular choices like cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine provide a warm, organic feel that ages gracefully and offers an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. Wood decking is often more affordable upfront but requires regular maintenance such as staining, sealing, and occasional repairs to prevent rot, warping, or insect damage.
- Composite Decks: Composite decking is a modern, low-maintenance alternative made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic. It mimics the look of natural wood but comes with added durability and resistance to weather, mold, and insects. Composite decks require little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning, won't fade or splinter over time, and the latest materials have lifespans ranging from 25 to 50 or more years. While composite decking has a higher initial cost than wood, the long-term savings in maintenance make it a cost-effective choice for many homeowners.
Whether you prefer wood's traditional beauty or the ease and durability of composite, at Archadeck of Central Iowa, our team can design a custom deck that fits your style, budget, and outdoor living needs.

Why Choose Archadeck of Central Iowa to Build Your Custom Deck?
Having a well-designed deck built by our local deck builders will bring you both comfort and joy as you spend time outdoors. But it can also be a smart play in terms of long-term home value, too. There are a handful of reasons why this is the case:
- It extends your living space. Your deck becomes an outdoor room for morning coffee, family dinners, and weekend entertaining. Basically, it’s additional square footage.
- It will increase your property value. Custom decks often come with a strong ROI for homeowners seeking more equity. Wooden decks typically recoup 75% or more of their cost at resale, and that doesn't account for years of enjoyment before you sell.
- They make it easier to entertain year-round. Central Iowa summers are meant for outdoor gatherings. A thoughtfully designed deck gives you space to host without cramming everyone inside.
- You can work-from-home outdoors. More people are working remotely, and many professionals have found that they sometimes just need a change of scenery. A comfortable deck gives you an outdoor office option when the weather cooperates.
Decks, Porches & Outdoor Living Additions We Build
If you are also looking for protection from the sun, rain, or insects, a deck might be just the starting point. Many Central Iowa homeowners pair their decks with covered structures for true four-season enjoyment.
