Wood Decking

Wood decking is a classic choice for outdoor spaces, known for its natural look and timeless appeal. It comes in various grades and cuts, with options that can suit everything from simple decks to more customized builds. Some boards have a smoother finish, while others have a more rugged, textured feel. Installation methods can also vary depending on the project. No matter the style, all wood decking offers a warm, organic aesthetic that blends beautifully with the outdoors and can be customized to fit a range of designs.

Why Choose Wood: Wood decking provides a natural look that synthetic materials can't fully replicate. It's easy to cut, shape, and customize on-site, making it ideal for a variety of designs. With proper maintenance, wood offers long-term durability and classic appeal.

Trex® Composite Decking

Composite decking can create the natural appearance of wood.

Composite decking, aka engineered wood products, come in a bewildering number of variations. Some offer solid boards while others are hollow. Some are "capped" or "co-extruded" with a layer of PVC while others are not. Some require multiple components for assembly while others are more like building with wood. What is common to all is they are made with recycled fibers, plastics, and binding agents.

Why Choose Composite: Composite decking is conveniently pre-finished. Composites create the appearance of real wood decks, but they don't need staining or painting and require little maintenance. Dirt can be washed off with a mild detergent and a hose. Composites are environmentally friendly, too. Up to 95 percent of materials used in manufacture are from recycled sources. They include materials as diverse as wood flour, rice hulls, and plastic containers.

As the local experts in deck building, we handle all the details:

Siting: There are many considerations, including your home's floor plan, orientation to the sun and prevailing wind, landscaping, and utility locations.

Size and shape: Decks are often thought of as distinct outdoor "rooms." There may not be any walls, but your deck may need to accommodate a cooking area, a dining area, a spa area, and a lounging area.

Traffic flow: For decks upon which a variety of activities take place, it's important to plan for traffic flow.

Railing styles: Railings are often the first thing you notice about a deck! Let us help you chose a type that suits your home and landscape – and that ensures the safety of your family and friends.

Privacy: We can offer solutions to homeowners who want privacy and have close-by neighbors, including custom pergolas.

Comfort: A deck isn't going to get used when the sun is blistering hot or when it's raining. Ask us about roomy retractable awnings that provide protection from the elements without cluttering up the deck.

We install outdoor railings for decks, stairs, porches & more

Safety first: A handrail should be installed no matter what size staircase you have to help prevent physical injuries.

EZ Exteriors installs secure, durable handrails that are suitable for all residential and commercial properties and are designed to provide years of worry-free use.

Deck Skirting, Lighting, & Accessories

Deck skirting is a functional and stylish way to finish the base of your deck, hiding structural elements and enhancing curb appeal. It also helps prevent animals from getting underneath and can improve ventilation and drainage. We offer low maintenance PVC deck skirting, durable Trex® composite skirting, and beautifyl vinyl lattice skirting installation to complete your outdoor space.

To further enhance your deck's appearance and functionality, consider adding low voltage deck lighting. It provides subtle, energy-efficient illumination for steps, railings, and skirting, improving safety and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for evening use.

For multi-level decks or elevated spaces, under deck drainage is another smart upgrade. This system channels water away from the structure, protecting the framing from moisture damage and creating dry, usable space beneath. We offer professional installation of Dek Drain and Trex® Rain Escape, two leading under deck drainage systems, to help you get the most out of every level of your deck.

Pergolas provide a little extra shade

EZ Exteriors installs pergolas to enhance your outdoor landscape. We offer a wide range of style and material options, including wood and maintenance-free vinyl. We will work with you to customize your pergola to give you the perfect complement to your home. Whether you are looking to create a beautiful entranceway or a shaded outdoor living space, you can count on us for quality, affordable solutions!

Pergolas are commonly used to shade areas such as walkways and decks. They are composed of sturdy pillars that support cross-beams with an open lattice. A pergola is a bit larger than an arbor but can be built to your size specifications. Pergolas can include one or two side panels and can either be installed freestanding or connected to your home. No matter what type of pergola you are looking for, we offer quality materials and professional installation to ensure a long-lasting solution!
