If you're considering wood deck options, we'll explain which species hold up best in Indiana. Pressure-treated lumber is a reliable choice for our climate, while cedar and redwood offer natural beauty with proper maintenance. For homeowners who want the look of wood without the upkeep, composite materials deliver excellent performance in Kokomo's weather.

We also think about how you'll use your deck through the seasons. Adding a pergola or patio cover extends your outdoor season by providing shade in summer and some weather protection in spring and fall. These structures are popular additions in Kokomo, where homeowners want to maximize their investment in outdoor living space.

Your material choice affects how your deck looks, how much maintenance it needs, and how long it lasts. We work with all the major decking materials and help you pick what works best for your situation. Pressure-treated lumber is the most affordable option and performs well in Kokomo's climate when properly maintained. You'll need to clean and stain it every few years to keep it looking good.

Composite decking costs more upfront but saves you time and money over the years. It won't warp, splinter, or rot like wood. You just sweep it off and occasionally rinse it with a hose. Families with young kids love composite because there's no risk of splinters, and the surface stays cooler than wood in direct sunlight. It comes in dozens of colors and textures, so you can match your home's style.

For railings, you have even more choices. Traditional wood railings match a classic look. Metal railings made from aluminum or steel offer durability with minimal upkeep. Cable railings are increasingly popular in Kokomo for their modern appearance and unobstructed views. Glass panels work beautifully on elevated decks where you want to preserve sight lines to your landscaping.

We're happy to show you samples of different materials and explain the real-world differences you'll experience. There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The right choice depends on your budget, how much maintenance you're willing to do, and the aesthetic you want for your home. We'll guide you through the options so you feel confident in your decision.
