Selecting the right decking materials is the most important part of your outdoor project. At Barefoot Construction, we help you navigate the choices between natural wood and modern composites. We serve homeowners in East Bethel and the North Metro who need decks built for extreme weather. Our team specializes in high-performance solutions like TimberTech, AZEK, and premium Western Red Cedar.
We prioritize materials that withstand the Minnesota freeze-thaw cycle. Composite decking remains a top choice for 2026 because it resists rot, warping, and moisture. These boards require no staining or sealing, saving you time and money. If you prefer a classic look, we offer high-grade cedar and pressure-treated lumber. We use specific structural techniques to protect natural wood from the elements. This ensures your wood deck remains beautiful and safe for your family.
We manage every detail of your material selection. Our team explains the warranties, maintenance needs, and heat-resistance of each option. We prioritize “Universal Design” by choosing slip-resistant textures for every build. Whether you want the organic feel of real wood or the durability of PVC, we deliver a flawless finish. Trust our local experts to recommend the best materials for your unique lifestyle.
Common Decking Materials We Install:
- Advanced PVC: This is the most moisture-resistant and low-maintenance option available.
- Capped Composite: We use these boards for a realistic wood look without the splinters.
- Natural Cedar: We choose premium cedar for its natural beauty and insect resistance.
