Wood & Composite Decking
/ Outdoor Kitchens by United
If you love spending time outside then you have to get
a deck. They provide you with a great place to sit and
relax in an outdoor environment along with a more convenient
spot to cook out, gather with friends and store your
belongings such as plants and outdoor furniture. You'll
find that having this extra living space can increase
the value of your home and make it more desirable to
buyers if you ever decide to sell.
Decks provide exactly what people want and need;
more room for their stuff, more value in their home and
the perfect place to spend time with friends and family.
At United Home Improvements, Inc. we custom build
decks using treated lumber as well as composite decking.

Custom Deck Designs For Looks And Low Maintenance Decking
Building a deck properly is only one part of the process
for having it last and resist the harsh effects of mother
nature. In order to make it last, you need to either
build it using a composite lumber, an exotic lumber like
ipe or if using pressure treated lumber you must make
sure a good stain or wood sealer is applied.
The type of lumber you should choose is heavily dependent
on your budget. There are many different types of products
that can be used but any experienced deck builder will
will tell you to keep it practical and to choose a material
that is readily available and easy to maintain. Look
below at some of the most popular decking lumbers:
- Pressure Treated Lumber (Especially For Low Level
Decks)
- Cedar Heartwood and Redwood (Best For Decking
/ Railing, Not Structural)
- Composite Lumber (This Is
Not A Structural Material, Use A Spruce Pine or Fir
/ SPF Timber For Structure)
Creating a good design and using one of these products
for the construction of it will ensure that you have
a long lasting deck. Just remember that some lumber like
pressure treated will also need to be stained or sealed
to enhance longevity.
The other thing you need is a competent deck builder
that can help you with the design and construction process
to make sure it's built to meet all state and local building
code requirements. This is a good reason for choosing
United Home Improvements, Inc. We have the know how
and experience to handle every aspect of building you
a deck that you can enjoy for many years.
