Smucker Exteriors is your all-in-one exterior contractor. Our crews are ready to expand and renovate your deteriorating deck along with the rest of your home’s exterior.
When upgrading your deck, you have two options for materials: wood or composites.
Wooden decks have long been the staple. But compared to modern materials, they do have their drawbacks.
Composite decking is manufactured from a blend of reclaimed wood fibers and recycled plastic. It’s eco-friendly, lower-maintenance,and longer lasting than traditional decking. And as far as the crew at Smucker Exteriors is concerned, it’s the way to go.
Here’s why:
Composite vs. Wood Decking
Caused by moisture. all of these can weaken your deck's structure. Pay special attention to your joists and your posts as these are commonareas affected by moisture damage.
Indications of REPAIR: Smalt, localized instances of rot, mold, or mildew on your deck surface that are easily treated.
Indications of FULL REPLACEMENT: Pervasive rot (pictured) throughout the substructure that affects deck structural integrity.
Can occur anywhere in the deck surface or substructure.
Indications of REPAIR: A few rusted. loose, or protruding fasteners (pictured) in the surface or substructure that can easily be replaced.
Indications of FULL REPLACEMENT: Excessive rusted or loose screws in your substructure which can indicate pervasive rot or insect damage.
At Smucker Exteriors, we generally think composite decks are the way to go. But to be fair, wood isn’t all that bad.
For one, it’s usually cheaper up front. It also has a natural look about it—complete with beautiful color and grain variations—that’s hard to beat. (It is wood, afterall.) So if you can afford the additional time and money to keep it in shape, go for it.
But modern composite materials are stunning as well. And with the time and money you’ll save on yearly upkeep—not to mention buying a deck that lasts longer—you’ll spend more time loving your deck and less time worrying about it.

Stairs are the first thing to go on a wooden deck. Which isn’t attractive… or safe.
That’s because lumber isn’t treated as well in the middle. And the extra cuts needed on stair planks exposes the untreated sections to moisture—leading to rot and decay.
Composite boards don’t have this problem. They also prevent you from jamming your foot on a nasty splinter. So be safe. Choose composite.
