Low-Maintenance Composite & PVC Decking Solutions
If you want a deck that looks as good in year 10 as it did on day one, Composite or PVC decking is the answer.
At Upper Valley Construction, we specialize in installing high-performance materials like Trex and TimberTech. These products are engineered to withstand the heavy rainfall and high moisture levels of the Willamette Valley without the constant need for maintenance.
The Benefits of Modern Synthetic Decking
Zero Sanding or Staining: Unlike wood, composite never needs to be sealed or painted. A simple wash with soap and water is all it takes.
Superior Durability: These materials are resistant to mold, mildew, and wood-boring insects. They won't warp, splinter, or rot.
High Aesthetic Appeal: Modern composite comes in a massive variety of colors and wood-grain textures that mimic natural timber perfectly.
Eco-Friendly: Most composite decking is made from recycled wood fibers and plastics, making it a sustainable choice for your home.
Our Installation Process
The secret to a great composite deck is the hidden fastening system. We ensure a smooth, "screw-free" surface that is safe for bare feet and paws. Because we are experts in foundation work, we ensure the substructure (the frame) is built to the highest standards, ensuring your high-end decking has a rock-solid base that won't bounce or settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is composite decking more expensive than wood?
The upfront cost is higher, but because you never have to pay for stain or sealant, it usually pays for itself within 5–7 years.
Does composite decking get hot in the sun?
Older composites did, but modern PVC and capped-composite materials are designed with "cool-deck" technology to stay comfortable even in direct sunlight.
Can I use my existing wood frame for composite?
Sometimes. We perform a structural inspection to ensure your old frame can handle the weight and spacing requirements of new composite boards.
Stop staining and start relaxing.
