Choosing between composite and wood decking is a major decision for Longmont homeowners. Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. helps you understand which performs best in Colorado’s unique climate.
Wood Decking in Colorado
- Natural beauty and traditional look
- Lower upfront cost
- Requires annual sealing and staining
- Can warp, crack, or rot if neglected
Composite Decking in Colorado
- Resistant to UV fading, moisture, and insects
- Low maintenance — no annual staining required
- Higher initial cost but lower lifetime cost
- Wide range of colors and textures
Best for Longmont?
Given Longmont’s intense sun, hail, and temperature swings, composite decking typically outperforms natural wood over a 10–20 year horizon. Talk to Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. about which option fits your budget and lifestyle.
