Composite Decks built for Fort Carson homes
Composite decking is the low-maintenance answer to Fort Carson's climate — pcs-move timelines are common here — we work with them when we can, plus the UV load at 5,920 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.
