Composite vs Wood Decks in Upstate SC – What’s Best for Your Greenwood Home?

Homeowners in Greenwood, SC often ask:

“Should I choose composite decking or natural wood?”

As a licensed carpentry contractor serving Upstate SC, we help clients make the right long-term investment.

Composite Decking Benefits

We install premium composite brands like:

• Trex
• AZEK
• TimberTech

Why Composite Is Popular in South Carolina

• Handles humidity well
• Minimal maintenance
• No yearly staining
• Resists mold and rot
• Modern color options

Composite costs more upfront but saves on maintenance long term.

High-End Wood Decks – Timeless & Strong

We build custom wood decks using:

• Ipe hardwood (extremely dense & long-lasting)
• Cedar decking
• Pressure-treated structural framing
• Other premium hardwood boards

Every wood deck includes free sealant application for protection in South Carolina’s climate.

Why Licensing Matters for Decks Over 200 Sq Ft

Many decks in Greenwood exceed 200 square feet. That means:

• Permits are required
• Engineered drawings may be required
• Inspections must be passed

Because we are licensed in carpentry, we can:

• Pull permits
• Draw blueprints
• Ensure structural load compliance
• Pass inspections

This protects you from fines, failed inspections, and unsafe builds.

• Screened-in porches

All projects are backed by a quality workmanship warranty when premium materials are used.
