Choosing a new deck is an exciting, and sometimes confusing time!

It’s normal to feel unsure about what type of decking makes the most sense for your needs and tastes. Whether you’re looking to renovate an existing deck, or construct a new one, there are many factors to consider when choosing a deck.

Most homeowners prioritize their choice around the budget they have to spend. While budget is important, the infographic below will walk you through the other important questions to consider.

Using the wrong decking material can lead to expensive repairs down the road. It’s always a good idea to take your time when deciding what you need in a deck, and speak with a professional about how to make your dream deck a reality.

The first question to ask yourself is, “will your deck be located over a living space?”
