Why Bellevue Homeowners Choose Composite Decking

Composite decking combines wood fiber and recycled plastic into a board that looks like real wood, holds up to Pacific Northwest rain without rotting, and requires only an annual hose-down. Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon are the three brands we install — each with different performance profiles for Seattle's microclimate.

Bellevue Specifically

West Bellevue and Clyde Hill HOA communities require TimberTech Vintage Collection or Trex Transcend as minimum spec — entry-grade composite is not approved in these neighborhoods. Newport Hills and Somerset hillside builds pair composite with cable railing for unobstructed Cascade views.

Seattle's 38 inches of annual rain plus summer UV creates a demanding test environment for decking. Composite outperforms cedar in this climate on every metric except first cost — after year 3, composite is the less expensive material on a per-year basis once you factor in cedar's staining, sealing, and replacement costs.
