Durable and
Low-Maintenance Decking
When it comes to decking, composite materials like Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon are top choices for homeowners seeking durability, low maintenance, and eco-friendly options that can withstand Michigan's diverse weather conditions.
Why Choose Composite Decking?
Durability
Unmatched Durability in Michigan Weather
Composite decking, like Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon, is engineered to withstand the elements—whether it's the heat of a Michigan summer or the cold of a harsh winter. The materials resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold growth, ensuring your deck stays looking great for years.
Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance, High Reward
Unlike wood decking, which requires regular staining, sealing, and maintenance, composite decking is incredibly low-maintenance. Simply clean it with soap and water to keep it looking new. There's no need to worry about splinters or rotting, making it safer and easier to enjoy.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Trex and other composite decking brands use recycled materials, such as plastic and wood fibers, which makes it an eco-conscious choice for environmentally mindful homeowners. By choosing composite decking, you're contributing to the reduction of plastic waste while also enjoying a beautiful outdoor space.
A Variety of Decking Options to Suit Your Style
At Lake Effect Exteriors, we understand that every homeowner has unique preferences when it comes to their outdoor spaces. That's why we don’t just specialize in composite decking— we offer a wide range of decking materials to meet your style, budget, and maintenance needs.
