Admit it—you’ve spent most of the fall and winter dreaming about a deck.

A place to grill in the evening.
To laugh with your favorite people.
Or to sneak in a quiet morning coffee before the world wakes up.

But when it comes time to actually build, that dream starts to unravel.

Composite or wood?

What’s PVC?

Why are there so many brands—and which ones are worth it?

What questions should I be asking that I haven’t even thought of yet?

And of course… how much is this going to cost me?

We hear these questions from most deck customers walking into Angeles Millwork or Hartnagels.

The good news? We’ve got answers.

This guide comes straight from our decking specialists—employee-owners who know what works (and what doesn’t) in our coastal climate. We’ll help you skip the guesswork and build a deck you’ll love for years.

Want to talk in person? Visit our upcoming Deck & Brats sale and event to meet the decking reps themselves—or fill out our Decking Project form and we’ll reach out to you.

Understanding Decking: Composite, PVC & Wood

You don’t need 50 options—you need the right one. That’s why we stock TimberTech PVC, radius-edge cedar, and outdoor-treated decking in-store—plus Fiberon, Trex, Wolf available through quick special order.

Each material has its strengths—and the best choice depends on your lifestyle, environment, and long-term goals. Let’s break it down so you can move forward with confidence.

Wood Decking (Radius Edge Cedar and Treated Decking)

There’s something timeless about a real wood deck. It looks the way a deck should look—warm, natural, and inviting. For some, nothing else feels quite right.

Pros:

  • Naturally beautiful with warm tones and rich grain

  • Lowest upfront cost

  • Excellent traction, especially in wet weather

Cons:

  • Requires staining or sealing every 2–4 years

  • Prone to rot, insect damage, and surface splintering

  • Shorter lifespan without consistent maintenance

Best For: Homeowners who value natural aesthetics and are committed to regular upkeep.

Composite Decking (TimberTech, Fiberon, Trex)

Composite decking gives you the best of both worlds—the look of real wood without the high maintenance. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic, it’s built to last through rain, sun, and everything in between. Composite boards resist fading, splintering, and warping—and maintenance is as easy as a hose and a broom.

Pros:

  • Low maintenance—just occasional cleaning

  • No splinters, warping, or insect damage

  • Protected caps resist fading, stains, and moisture

  • Lower cost than PVC decking, with 25-year warranties on most products

Cons:

  • Higher upfront cost than wood

  • Can retain heat in direct sunlight

  • Shorter warranties than most PVC options

Best For: Busy homeowners who want the look of wood without the hassle.

PVC Decking (TimberTech, Fiberon, and Wolf)

If you want the most durable, low-maintenance deck out there—PVC might be your best bet. Unlike composite, it’s made from 100% plastic, so there’s no wood to absorb moisture, swell, or rot. That makes it nearly bulletproof in wet coastal environments like ours.

It’s lightweight, mold-resistant, and the colors hold strong, year after year—even under UV and heavy rain. For homeowners who want peace of mind and minimal upkeep, PVC earns its higher price tag.

Pros:

  • Total water resistance—no wood means no swelling, splintering, or rot

  • Lightweight and easy to clean

  • Top-tier color retention and fade resistance

Cons:

  • Most expensive option upfront

  • Can feel less wood-like in appearance and underfoot

Best For: Homeowners who want the toughest, most worry-free decking—especially in rainy, coastal, or high-moisture settings.

Installation & Accessory Tips That Matter

You’ve spent time choosing the right boards—but what holds them together matters just as much. These details might not be flashy, but they’re the quiet heroes of a deck that lasts.

Stainless Steel Fasteners: The Right Choice

Composite and PVC decks can last 25–50 years. Standard fasteners won’t. Stainless steel resists corrosion—especially in coastal environments—and helps your deck stay solid and safe season after season. If your deck outlasts your hardware, you’re setting yourself up for a rebuild you didn’t plan for.

Proper Spacing and Certified Installers

Even the best boards can fail if they’re installed incorrectly. Composite and PVC decking expand and contract with changes in temperature—and they need breathing room. When spacing isn’t done right, boards can warp, cup, or crack, and that can void your warranty.

That’s why we always recommend certified installers who know the specs inside and out. They don’t just lay boards—they protect your investment. And when you’ve waited all winter for your dream deck, that kind of peace of mind is worth every penny.

Trust Your Local, Employee-Owned Experts

At Angeles Millwork & Hartnagels, we know your deck is more than lumber and fasteners—it’s the place where your family will gather, laugh, and make memories for years to come.

4/16/2025
 
This week we have a bit more clarity around the countervailing duties/tariffs; at this time it sounds like these will (potentially) go into effect sometime around late summer or fall. This has brought some stability to commodity prices, at least in the short term, and this week a number of items decreased in cost.
 
So let’s dive in!
 
Week over week our composite market averaged dropped 0.5%. If we look a bit further out, this price has dropped 2% over the last 4 weeks, and up 4.3% over the last 3 months.

Here’s a break down of specific materials:
  • Doug Fir 2×6 -5.5%
  • Pres Treat 2×6 -5.4%
  • Pres Treat 2×10 -5.4%
  • Pres Treat 2×12 -5.3%
  • OSB 15/32” -4.8%
  • OSB ¾” EG -3.3%
  • OSB 7/16” 4×8 -4.8%
  • OSB 7/16” 4×10 -4.8%
  • 1-1/8” T&G Ply +5.5%
Since looking at single SKU prices can be a little hard to see the forest from the trees we’ve started reviewing price changes on a sample home.
 
The sample house we are using is a small 3 bedroom, 1,064 SF home with a 2 car garage. This week the cost of this home dropped $261.90.
 
Aside from the commodity market, our suppliers are still assessing cost impacts of tariffs. A few areas we have received price increase notifications include:
  • ThermaTru doors 4.5% – 6.5% increase
  • RailFX railing 21% increase
  • Metabo pneumatic tools 5% increase
  • CRL shower hardware 5% increase
  • Tyvek house wrap 4% increase
  • PrimeSource (vast array of products) 5% – 45% increases
With so many moving parts I’m going to refrain speculating on the direction of the market. Last week was proof that when we expect things to zig they often zag. We’ll continue to keep you posted!

Past year highlights:

  • Invested over $1 million in renovations, creating an ADA-compliant, energy-efficient, and visually appealing space that enhances downtown Port Angeles.
  • Expanded our inventory by over $300,000, ensuring they not only offer the best rental selection in Port Angeles and Sequim but offer everything from power tools and sundries to essential hardware supplies to meet the needs of local builders, DIY enthusiasts and homeowners.
