Build a backyard that lasts with high-quality composite deck materials. At Barefoot Construction, we help you navigate the differences between wood-plastic composites and advanced PVC decking. In 2026, homeowners prioritize materials that offer a “Grounded Sanctuary” aesthetic without the need for annual staining. Modern composites feature multi-tonal grain patterns that mimic the natural beauty of cedar and ipe.

We specialize in high-performance brands like TimberTech and AZEK. These materials are engineered to resist the Minnesota freeze-thaw cycle. We recommend capped polymer decking for high-traffic areas because it stays cooler underfoot during the summer. It also provides superior resistance to mold, mildew, and moisture. We prioritize “Universal Design” by choosing materials with slip-resistant surfaces for added safety. These products are made from recycled plastics and wood fibers, making them a sustainable choice for your home.

We manage the selection process for you. Our team provides physical samples so you can test the durability and color in your own yard. We prioritize clear communication to ensure you understand the long-term value of your choice. Whether you want a modern gray or a rustic walnut finish, we deliver a stunning result. Trust our local experts to guide you through the best materials for your new deck.

Key Benefits of Composite Materials:

• Zero Maintenance: You never have to sand, seal, or stain your deck again.
• Durability: Composite boards do not rot, warp, or splinter over time.
• Heat Resistance: New 2026 technology reduces surface temperatures on sunny days.
