What is Cedar Decking?

Cedar decks are an ideal option to enhance the curb appeal and functionality of your property. Being very durable, western red cedar is prized for its long-lasting qualities and beauty. It is also a highly aromatic wood with amazing color and grain. These properties of the wood make western red cedar decking one of the most popular when it comes to choosing deck-building materials. What’s more, western red cedar lumber is nice to work with because it can be easily stained and painted. 

Benefits of cedar decking include:

  • Resistance to warping and twisting
  • Environmentally friendly solution
  • Water-resistant properties 
  • Contains natural tannins and oils against rot and insects
  • Many choices (knotty or clear grades, smooth or combed surfaces, etc.)

By cooperating with a professional deck builder company, the performance of your deck can be enhanced when protected against rain, snow, sunlight exposure, and other harmful factors. Penetrating finishes prevent cedar deck boards from peeling, flakes, or cracks, and the horizontal surface will endure the wearing and abrasive effects of foot traffic and scrapes that may occur. Also, the preservatives contain mildewcides and fungicides, helping to increase the durability. 

It is worth considering that the cedar deck requires maintenance from time to time, so every 2-4 years it is recommended to apply a water-repellent wood preservative finish which is essentially colorless but does contain ultraviolet light blockers. Also, do not forget to keep the surface swept free of leaves, pine needles, and debris.

Amazing service they were on time on budget and stuck to their timeline. They welcomed my input and did a walk through with me after the job was finished and even made additions to strengthen the lower part of my fence based on what my plans were moving forward at no additional cost to me. I will be using these guys in the future for all of my outdoor projects

Always on time, responsive, listen to all my concerns. Will definitely continue to use their services all year round. Highly recommend! Alex

While I have no interacted with this company for business, I have interacted with this company on the road as they were driving their company vehicle. The person driving their truck drives dangerously and illegally at times. Instances include tailgating, making dangerous lane changes without signalling, cutting into the HOV lane during no-cross areas, and driving in the HOV lane with only a single person in their large pick-up truck. Video evidence of this has been forwarded to the local authorities and that's the last I'll say on this matter. Now if they care this little about other people on the road, I'd imagine they couldn't care less about doing honest business with you. It's the little things that matter and clearly they don't care.
