Deck or porch build or replaces FAQs

Composite fencing requires minimal maintenance to stay durable and attractive. All you need to do is clean your fence using a composite deck cleaner or gentle, soapy water with a soft-bristle brush. By cleaning it at least twice a year—in spring and fall—you'll remove debris and prevent mold and mildew buildup, keeping your fence in top condition.

Composite fencing can last 30 years or more when properly installed and maintained. Its durability comes from quality materials that resist weather and wear. By regularly cleaning your fence and performing simple maintenance, you can maximize its lifespan and enjoy a long-term investment for your property.

Yes, composite fencing can fade in the sun, especially during the first six months as the wood tannins naturally release. To help manage this change, consider getting a color chart from your fence supplier to see how the color will adjust over time. You can also apply exterior treatments to restore vibrancy and keep your fence looking the way you want it.

Composite fencing is more expensive initially than wood fencing, reflecting its superior materials and enhanced durability. The higher up-front cost is balanced by its long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance requirements, making it a smart long-term investment. This clear cost difference per linear foot helps you plan your budget effectively while enjoying the benefits of advanced construction and reliability.
