Decking Material Cost Comparison
Decking Facts
- Pressure-Treated (PT) Wood is cheap upfront but requires cleaning and staining every 2 years to prevent rot, splinters, and warping.
- Composite (e.g. Trex) costs 2-3x more upfront, but requires almost zero maintenance (just soap and water) and never splinters.
- If you plan to stay in your house for more than 10 years, Composite is almost always cheaper in the long run when factoring in the cost of stain and labor.
