Code-compliant framing spaced to the composite maker's spec (often 12–16" o.c. depending on the line) — the hidden work that decides how a composite deck ages.
Hidden Fasteners & Picture-Frame Border
Fastener-free surface with a clean picture-frame edge. Cut ends are hidden; expansion gaps are set for our temperature swings.
Aluminum & Cable Railings
Railings sized for significant sustained wind — powder-coated aluminum, cable, or matching composite top rail.
Joist Tape & Flashing
Butyl joist tape on every joist top and proper ledger flashing where the deck meets the house — the two details that dictate substructure lifespan.

The board itself is the easy part; the substructure is where quality shows up. We frame every Cascade-Chipita Park composite deck for the local climate and follow the composite maker's joist-spacing spec.

Only if the frame is sound and spaced correctly for composite. We inspect first — many older Cascade-Chipita Park 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 Cascade-Chipita Park?
Yes — both are standard on our composite installs. A picture-frame border cleans up cut ends, and hidden clips keep the surface fastener-free.

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 Cascade-Chipita Park's climate with minimal upkeep.
