ProBuilt Decks:

Take a look at some of the custom designed decks we have constructed in our Deck Gallery!

Imagine having a deck designed for you with which you can entertain company or relax with the family during a summer day. Perhaps you'd like to have a place just to enjoy a barbecue or soak in a hot tub. Also, the area beneath your deck often makes a wonderful place to store equipment. Our decks are very flexible but built to our rigorous quality standards. You can discuss with us any idea you may have regarding the design of the deck. In addition, we offer not only a variety of materials but also the ability to combine different types. Below is a description of some of the materials ProBuilt offers. We invite you to stop by our offices or set up an onsite consultation to take a look at our wide selection of materials.

Wood

For those customers who prefer the look of wood or perhaps favor its affordability, ProBuilt offers quality pressure treated Madison lumber. ProBuilt is willing to construct your deck using the pressure treated southern yellow pine, cedar, mahogany, or ipe. Our pine wood is offered in C-select and #1 select grades. #1 select wood has less notches than #2 grade wood, but C-select is of the highest quality. Cedar wood not only looks beautiful, it also resists the splintering, cupping, twisting, and checking that you may experience with pine. Cedar, as a softer wood, is recommended for areas with less "traffic". Ipe is a tropical hardwood. It is a premium material that will last for a long time. This wood is very dense and resists rot, cupping, splintering, twisting, and checking. If you have another type of wood in mind, contact us, and we can tell you more.

Vinyl

While vinyl may cost a little more, it offers extra benefits. Vinyl allows you to walk barefoot without any concern, as it is cool to the touch. Also, owners of vinyl need not worry about maintenance as much as with wood, since vinyl can be as easy to clean as spraying a hose. Vinyl is free of splinters, is slip-resistant, and is considered a safer alternative to pressure treated lumber, which many question regarding health concerns.

Composites

ProBuilt offers a good selection of composite material to choose from. Composite material is cheaper than vinyl but offers similar benefits. Composites represent a blend of wood fiber and plastic, with plastic contents of 30 to 50%. They are growing in popularity since they also avoid the problems associated with pressure-treated lumber and require no maintenance. The maintenance-free aspect leaves more time for you to enjoy your deck instead of working on it. ProBuilt uses composites such as Trex.

Trex is free of splinters, toxic chemicals, and preservatives. Also, it absorbs very little water, which enables it to handle the weather quite well. Insects, such as termites, do not take the toll on your deck that they otherwise could if you were using wood. Trex has excellent traction and is available in four different colors. Also, since it is made with recycled plastic grocery bags, reclaimed pallet wrap, and about half waste wood, it is great for the environment!
