Decking Materials
Pressure Treated Wood
Most common decking choice. Made from Southern yellow pine, easy to install and the least expensive type of decking. Chemicals permeate the wood to prevent rot and insect damage. Should be cleaned and stained every two to three years. Life expectancy is 20 years.
Tropical Hardwoods
Extremely dense and durable. Have rich colouring and are highly resistant to insects and decay. Can be expensive and more labor intensive to install, as screw holes must be drilled prior to setting screws. Life expectancy is 25 years.
Cedar
Contain natural defences against insects and rotting. Red cedar is soft and easily damaged. Port Orford Cedar is lighter in colour, harder and the most wear-resistant cedar. Must apply sun-blocking protectant every few years to preserve natural colour. Life expectancy is 20 years.
Composite
Made from a blend of plastic and waste wood fibres. Very durable, won’t rot or require staining. High-performance product, but more expensive than most woods. Special fasteners must be used, but some can be installed with hidden fasteners underneath so there are no visible screws on the face.
Ipé Hardwood
Brazilian walnut is one of the densest hardwoods available. Ipé decks provide natural beauty and durability. It can withstand harsh climates, rot, insect damage and is mold-resistant. Tongue and grooved planks make it easy to install. It is more expensive than other decking materials but should last a lifetime. Custom shiplap siding trim and moldings are also available.

according to Homestars
I want to thank KP Construction for the awesome work they did for us. They designed and built the composite deck and interlock patio. It was an enjoyable experience; they finished everything on time, clean after themselves, answer our questions and addressed our concerns. I would definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone, who is looking for a reliable company and hustle free experience.
I would highly recommend KP Construction for an outdoor deck. They were extremely professional, the quality of the work was excellent, and are one of the better contractors we've worked with. They did a great job helping us with a design that suited our home and made some great recommendations to enhance our outdoor space. They were incredibly flexible on the build, making changes to accommodate us and also moved their schedule around to allow for other work we were having done to the exterior. Their customer service is excellent. Any questions or concerns we had after the work was completed, they responded right away and were there for us. They did all of this while presenting a very fair price.
Custom Decks Option Flexibility
Adjustments and modifications are no problem; in fact, we encourage you to put us to the test. Need a larger seating area? Want to incorporate a privacy screen behind your built-in grill? Why not add some hidden storage space underneath with a decorative skirt and access door? Won’t some ornamental planters blend the beauty of nature with the urban locale? And don’t forget to add some low-level lights for atmosphere and mini spots to illuminate all the decorative elements. Save time and money by making changes to the 3D model instead of during construction.
At this stage of the process, our team will prepare a scope of work incorporating all your selections and provide a comprehensive estimate, so you’ll understand exactly what the project will cost. All prices are based on your personalized specifications and current local costs, so you can be assured your budget will always be maintained.
When you’re satisfied that the final design meets your expectations exactly and have approved contract pricing, certified professionals will produce detailed architectural drawings for contractor use in applying for permits, ordering materials and the deck building process.
