Wood Decks
According to Remodeling Magazine's 2008-2009 "Cost vs. Value" report, you can recoup 81% of the cost of adding a wood deck. 

The most popular type of deck installed by Hometown Contractors, Inc is pressure treated wood.  Treated wood, is favored for numerous reasons: it has a natural appearance, its resistance to termites and rot is well established, wood is a plentiful and renewable resource, and treated wood is usually the most economical choice.  

 

Why Pressure Treated Wood?

Longevity.  Preserved wood resists damage from termites and fungal decay for decades.
Appearance.  Treated wood can be found in a variety of lumber grades and the beauty of natural wood proves to be the preferred choice of homeowners. 
Protection.  While preservative treatment protects wood against termites and rot, some treated wood is produced with built-in water repellent which keeps the wood looking good longer. 
Sizes.  You can find preserved wood products in a full range of sizes and in a variety of lengths.  For decking, using real wood with rounded edges can offer a distinctive look.  Hometown Contractors also carries treated wood specialty products -- such as spindles, handrails, ball tops, and lattice.
Maintenance.  Every decking material requires some maintenance, for cleaning if nothing else. Pressure-treatment provides long-term protection against termites and rot, but even treated wood is subject to moisture damage.  To protect your wood against weather and premature aging, coat the wood with an effective brand of water repellent as soon as possible and then reapply a coating every year or so.
Environmental Benefits.  You can feel good about using preserved wood, an environmentally responsible choice.  Treated wood requires less energy to produce than alternative building products.  Most important for homeowners and the environment, the treatment extends the life of wood. This enables a deck to last longer, and it reduces demands on forests and other resources.

Composite Decking
According to Remodeling Magazine's 2008-2009 "Cost vs. Value" report, you can recoup 73% of the cost of adding a composite deck. 

Hometown Contractors’ composite decking is extremely weather-resistant and never need painting or staining for protection.  Made from recycled plastic and reclaimed wood fiber, composite decking is an environmentally friendly alternative to wood decks. 

The maintenance problems that can occur with wood decks don’t happen with composite decking.  So your time is spent relaxing on your deck, not working on it.  So take off your shoes and come outside. See just how beautiful your everyday can be with a new composite deck from Hometown Contractors.

 

Why Composite Decking?

Less Maintenance Unlike typical wood decks, composite decking: will not warp or rot due to harsh weather is splinter-free doesn’t need sanding, staining, or painting ever Because it withstands the elements so well, composite decking proves to be a low maintenance investment. Looks great year after year with only periodic cleaning Resistance to moisture, insects and sunlight damage makes composite decking ideal for use around pools, hot tubs and spas. Composite decking is made of a unique combination of reclaimed wood and plastic. Plastic shields wood from moisture and insect damage Wood protects plastic from UV damage
