Custom Composite Decks in Colorado Springs

 

Building a composite deck will give you a low maintenance outdoor-living area with options in a wide range of colors, grades, and finishes, that is becoming a popular choice for decking. Some composite decking manufacturers use recycled products to offer eco-friendly composite options, thereby lowering environmental impacts. Composite products have a wide range of material warranties, and some are now offering a labor warranty on the coverage of fading, scratching, and staining, among other details to consider.

Not all composite deck materials are created equal. Decks by Schmillen has done the research and has the knowledge to help you understand the difference and can assist you in making the best decision finding functional, elegant, and cost-effective solutions for your outdoor living space.
