Composite Decks built for Briargate homes
Composite decking is the low-maintenance answer to Briargate's climate — strong north-side wind and heavy afternoon sun in summer, plus the UV load at 6,890 ft that fades untreated wood in a few seasons. Capped composite lines hold color well, don't splinter, and need a rinse instead of a re-stain every year.
We install composite tops over a proper pressure-treated substructure. When the build calls for it, we can spec hidden fasteners, joist tape, and picture-frame borders — the details that make composite last.

Composite Decks FAQs — Briargate
+ Which composite works best for Briargate?
At 6,890 ft the biggest concerns are UV fade and heat gain. We steer clients toward mid-tone boards on south- and west-facing decks in Briargate's full southern and western sun most of the afternoon, and we bring samples to the on-site visit.
+ Is composite worth it compared to cedar in Briargate?
For most Briargate homeowners, yes — cedar looks great but typically needs a re-stain every 1–2 years thanks to strong north-side wind and heavy afternoon sun in summer and high-altitude UV. Composite needs far less upkeep and holds its finish over time.
+ Does composite hold up to Briargate's weather?
The board itself is the easy part; the substructure is where quality shows up. We frame every Briargate composite deck for the local climate and follow the composite maker's joist-spacing spec.
+ Can you install composite over my existing frame in Briargate?
Only if the frame is sound and spaced correctly for composite. We inspect first — many older Briargate decks are joisted at 24" o.c., which is too wide for most composite lines. If it's close, we sister joists; if not, we reframe.
+ Do you install hidden fasteners and picture-frame borders in Briargate?
Yes — both are standard on our composite installs. A picture-frame border cleans up cut ends, and hidden clips keep the surface fastener-free.
+ How long does a composite deck last in Briargate?
Manufacturer warranties vary by product line — we walk through the current options at the on-site visit. A properly framed substructure and a well-installed composite top hold up for a long time in Briargate's climate with minimal upkeep.
