Pressure-Treated Lumber
Pressure-treated pine is the most budget-friendly decking option and the backbone of nearly every deck we build. Even composite and hardwood decks typically sit on a pressure-treated frame. The lumber is treated to resist rot and insects, which makes it a dependable, affordable choice for homeowners who want a solid deck without a premium price. The tradeoff is maintenance: pressure-treated boards need regular cleaning and sealing or staining to prevent cracking, splitting, and graying, especially near the water. For framing, we use ground-contact-rated lumber and corrosion-resistant fasteners suited to the coastal environment, so the structure lasts as long as the surface above it.
Composite Decking
Composite decking combines wood fibers and recycled plastics into boards that look like wood without the upkeep: no sanding, staining, or sealing, just an occasional wash. Capped composites add a protective shell that resists fading, staining, and moisture, which makes them ideal for Newport’s salty, humid summers.
We install leading brands, including Trex, made largely from recycled materials and offered in a wide range of colors, and TimberTech, which offers both capped composite and premium PVC lines. Both come with long-term manufacturer warranties, and while composite costs more upfront, the maintenance savings add up over the life of your deck.
Specialty Hardwood Decking
Mahogany
Mahogany is a New England classic, especially for traditional tongue-and-groove porch floors on historic and shingle-style homes throughout Newport. It is dense, naturally resistant to rot and insects, and finishes to a rich reddish-brown that deepens with oiling. Left untreated, it weathers to a soft silver-gray. Mahogany is an excellent choice for homes where authenticity and period-appropriate detail matter.
Teak
Teak is among the most prized woods for outdoor use and has long been used on boat decks for good reason. Its natural oils make it exceptionally resistant to water, rot, and pests, and it holds up beautifully in marine environments. Teak is a true premium material with a price to match, so it is often used for featured areas, accents, or smaller luxury decks rather than large surfaces.
Cedar
Western red cedar is lighter, softer, and more affordable than tropical hardwoods, but it still offers natural resistance to decay and insects. It has a warm tone, a pleasant aroma, and stays relatively cool underfoot in summer. Cedar is a good middle ground for homeowners who want real wood without hardwood pricing, though it dents more easily and needs regular sealing to keep its color.
