Deck Materials We Work With

Pressure-Treated Wood Decks

Pressure-treated lumber remains the most affordable decking material and provides decades of reliable service when properly maintained. We use high-quality treated lumber that meets current preservative standards, and we frame every deck with properly spaced joists, code-compliant ledger connections, and concrete footings set below the NC frost depth. A well-built pressure-treated deck that is stained or sealed every 2–3 years is a long-lasting, cost-effective addition to your home. We offer pressure-treated framing with composite or treated decking surfaces to give you the best of both worlds — durable structure with a premium surface.

Composite Decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon)

Composite decking has transformed the deck building industry and is our most recommended surface material for Burlington homeowners. Made from a blend of recycled wood fiber and plastic, composite boards resist moisture, UV fading, staining, mold, and insect damage — without the annual maintenance wood requires. Composite decks cost more upfront but save money over their lifetime by eliminating staining, sealing, and board replacement costs that wood decks demand.

We are experienced installers of all major composite brands including Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon. Composite decking is available in dozens of colors and finishes, including natural wood-grain textures that are nearly indistinguishable from real wood at a distance. We help you choose the right product, color, and price point during your free estimate and design consultation.

Trex Decking in Burlington

Trex is the most recognized composite decking brand in North America and consistently ranks among the top choices for durability and aesthetics. Trex decking comes with a 25-year fade and stain warranty and is available in three product lines — Trex Select, Trex Enhance, and Trex Transcend — at different price points to fit different budgets. Burlington Fence and Deck installs Trex decking throughout Alamance County and can show you samples during your in-home consultation.

Deck Styles and Configurations

Ground-Level Decks

Ground-level or low-profile decks are the simplest and most affordable deck configuration. Built close to grade, they require minimal framing and no steps in many cases. Ground-level decks are an excellent choice for flat or gently sloping yards and work well for patio-style entertaining spaces. We build ground-level decks in all material options including wood and composite.

Elevated Decks

Elevated decks are attached to the home and raised above grade to align with a rear door or to accommodate a sloping yard. They require a proper ledger attachment to the home's rim joist, structural posts, and appropriate footings. Burlington Fence and Deck builds elevated decks that meet NC residential building code requirements for structural integrity, railing height (minimum 36 inches for decks under 30 inches above grade, 42 inches above), and baluster spacing.

Multi-Level Decks

Multi-level decks create distinct outdoor living zones — a dining area on one level, a lounge area on another, with stairs connecting them. They work especially well on sloped lots and add significant visual impact and property value. We design multi-level decks to flow naturally with your home's architecture and yard topography.

Pool Decks

We build custom pool decks around in-ground and above-ground pools in composite and wood materials. Pool deck surfaces require slip-resistant finishes and materials that handle wet conditions and UV exposure well. Composite decking is the premier choice for pool deck surfaces. See our dedicated pool decks page for full details on our pool deck services.

Pergolas and Covered Structures

We build attached and freestanding pergolas as part of deck projects and as standalone backyard structures. A pergola defines your outdoor living space, provides partial shade, and creates a framework for climbing plants, shade sails, or outdoor string lighting. Pergolas can be built in pressure-treated wood or cedar for natural character, or in low-maintenance vinyl and aluminum.

Deck Repair and Restoration in Burlington

Burlington's humid summers, heavy spring rains, and winter freeze-thaw cycles take a significant toll on decks over time. Common deck problems we repair include:

We assess your deck's structural integrity and recommend targeted repairs or, when needed, full deck replacement. Many decks that appear worn out on the surface are structurally sound and can be restored with board replacement and refinishing at a fraction of new construction cost. Call 336-565-7864 for a deck repair assessment.

NC Climate Considerations for Deck Building

North Carolina's climate presents specific challenges for outdoor wood structures. Burlington averages over 45 inches of rainfall annually, with humid summers that accelerate moisture-related decay in untreated wood. UV exposure is significant from late spring through early fall. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter can shift footings and stress connections if the deck is not properly built. We account for all of these factors in our deck designs, from footing depth and spacing to material selection and fastener type, ensuring your deck performs well for years in the Alamance County climate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best decking material for Burlington, NC homeowners?

Composite decking is our top recommendation for most homeowners because of its durability in NC's climate and its low maintenance requirements. Pressure-treated wood is an excellent cost-effective option for homeowners who are comfortable with periodic sealing and maintenance.

How long does it take to build a deck?

A standard ground-level or elevated deck typically takes 2–4 days. Multi-level decks with pergolas or screened enclosures may take 5–7 days. We provide a firm timeline in every written proposal.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Burlington, NC?

Yes. Most decks attached to the home or over a certain square footage require a building permit from the City of Burlington or Alamance County. Burlington Fence and Deck assists with permit requirements and documentation.

How long does a composite deck last?

Quality composite decking products like Trex carry 25-year fade and stain warranties. The structural framing, built with pressure-treated lumber and properly installed footings, is designed to last 30–40 years with normal maintenance.

Can you build a deck around my existing pool?

Yes. We build custom pool decks around both in-ground and above-ground pools. Pool decks require specific surface considerations for slip resistance and drainage. Call 336-565-7864 to discuss your pool deck project.
