Types of Decks
Choosing the right deck material is an essential step in creating an outdoor space that fits your style, budget, and maintenance preferences. At Quality Homes of Rochester, we specialize in both wood and composite decking, giving you options that balance beauty, durability, and long-term value.
Pressure-Treated Wood
Nothing beats the classic look and feel of real wood. Many homeowners choose pressure-treated wood decks because each board has natural variation, giving your deck a unique appearance. Wood also allows for customization with stain, so you can easily change its color over time. In addition, wood decking typically has a lower upfront cost than composite, making it an attractive option for homeowners who want beauty on a budget.
Composite Decking
For long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep, composite decking is a popular choice. These boards are highly durable, water-resistant, and won’t warp, crack, or split. Unlike wood, composite decking requires no annual staining or sealing, which makes it an appealing option for busy families. While the initial investment is higher than wood, you’ll save on yearly maintenance costs. Many people also prefer the uniform, sleek look of composite decking, available in a wide range of modern colors.

Frequently Asked Backyard Decking Questions
Looking for more information about backyard decks? Here are some frequently asked questions we hear from homeowners. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Give us a call, and our team will help answer any questions you have.
It is best practice to consult your local building department to determine whether you need a permit to build a deck. You can either call your local department or visit their website to figure out building regulations. Building codes may change based on deck height, size, location, and where electrical and plumbing lines are located, so it is best to talk to your local building department to find out.
The cost of a backyard deck depends on factors such as size, materials, and design complexity. A simple backyard small deck will cost less than a large multi-level structure with custom features. At Quality Homes of Rochester, we provide transparent, upfront pricing so you’ll know exactly what to expect before work begins.
There are endless ways to personalize your backyard decking. Popular ideas include adding string lights, outdoor rugs, potted plants, or cozy seating. Many homeowners also decorate with fire pits or pergolas to make their decks functional for every season.
