Why Composite Decking Is Booming in the Bay Area

The Bay Area’s unique climate—coastal fog, bright sun, and changing temps—takes a toll on traditional wood decks. Composite decking offers a long-lasting, splinter-free alternative made from a mix of recycled wood fibers and polymers. That means no more sanding, staining, or sealing.

Popular among homeowners from San Francisco to San Jose, composite decking delivers the look of real wood without the upkeep.

3 Things to Consider When Choosing Composite Decking

Before you select your decking, here are three key factors to keep in mind:

1. Bay Area Climate Compatibility

From salty fog to dry heat, the Bay Area climate demands materials that resist warping and fading. Brands like Fiberon, Trex, and TimberTech are engineered for performance in variable weather.

2. Style & Color Choices

Each brand offers a wide range of finishes—from rustic browns to modern grays. Bring your paint samples or home exterior photos to match tones on-site.

3. Maintenance & Budget

While composite decking has a higher upfront cost than wood, it requires far less upkeep. Most products come with 25–50 year warranties and save homeowners thousands in long-term maintenance.
