Low-maintenance Trex, TimberTech, and PVC decking that handles Whatcom rain without staining or splintering, installed with hidden fasteners. We'll walk you through the brands and what they cost over time.
Composite and PVC decking is the low-maintenance answer for Bellingham. Our wet winters are brutal on wood, but a composite board doesn't soak up water, doesn't splinter, and doesn't need resealing every couple of years. We install Trex, TimberTech, and full PVC decking with hidden fasteners for a clean surface with no screw heads showing, and we'll be honest with you about which brand and grade actually fits your budget and your deck.
The thing most homeowners don't hear is that the boards are only half the job. Out here, the majority of composite deck problems start in the substructure underneath, not the surface. We frame with ground-contact-rated lumber, set footings below frost depth, and flash the ledger, because a great composite surface on a rotting frame still fails. Build the structure right and a composite deck here can outlast its long material warranty.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does a composite deck cost in Bellingham?
Composite and PVC decks in Bellingham run $18,000 to $50,000 installed for a typical deck. Brand and grade (Trex, TimberTech, or full PVC), size, and whether you need new framing drive the number. We give you a free, detailed quote.
Is composite worth it over cedar here?
For a lot of Bellingham homeowners, yes. Composite costs more up front, but you skip the resealing and the splinters, and it doesn't rot in our wet winters. Cedar costs less to install and has a warmer look, but it needs upkeep. We'll lay out the honest tradeoffs.
Which composite brand do you install?
We install Trex, TimberTech, and full PVC decking. The right pick depends on your budget, the look you want, and how the boards handle our climate. We're brand-honest and will tell you where the price jumps are worth it and where they aren't.
