Composite Deck Installation in Akron, OH

If you've re-stained a wood deck twice and sworn "never again," composite is the answer, and Northeast Ohio is exactly the climate composite decking was invented for. Freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect snow sitting on the boards from December to March, humid summers: composite shrugs at all of it. DeckRescue Pros installs composite decks throughout Akron and the surrounding communities, from full new builds to re-decking sound wood frames with composite boards.

Brands We Install

• Trex, the market leader. Enhance, Select, and Transcend lines cover the range from budget-conscious to premium, all with a 25-to-50-year fade-and-stain warranty.
• TimberTech (AZEK), capped polymer boards that are the most moisture-proof product on the market. The right call for hot tub surrounds, shaded lots, and low decks near grade.
• Deckorators, mineral-based composite with best-in-class traction, popular with clients who want a wood-realistic grain without a glossy plastic look.

How We Install Composite Differently

Hidden Fasteners, Standard

No screw heads across your deck surface. We use each manufacturer's hidden clip system so the field of the deck is clean, smooth board, and the install stays warranty-compliant.

Picture-Frame Borders

Cut board ends never face the yard. A contrasting or matching border frames the deck, covers end grain, and reads instantly as a professional build.

Framing Spaced for Composite

Composite boards flex more than wood, so joists go 16 inches on center, and 12 on diagonals, not the 24-inch spacing that makes cheap composite decks feel spongy. If we're re-decking your existing frame, we inspect and sister the joists first.

Railing That Matches the Investment

Powder-coated aluminum, composite sleeve, or cable rail: all zero-maintenance, all code-compliant at 36 inches with balusters under 4-inch spacing.

What a Composite Deck Costs in the Akron Area

Composite decks we build in Summit and Medina counties typically run $16,000–$32,000 for common sizes (12x16 up to 16x24), driven by board line, railing selection, height, and stairs. That's roughly 1.8–2x the cost of pressure-treated up front, and roughly even by year ten once staining and sealing are counted. See the full breakdown on our pricing page and the 10-year numbers in our composite vs. wood comparison.

Re-Decking: Composite Boards on Your Existing Frame

If your deck's bones are sound but the boards are shot, re-decking with composite delivers a new-deck look at 50–60% of new-build cost. We evaluate the frame, footings, and ledger first, and we tell you plainly if the structure won't carry another 20 years. When it won't, a new build is the better path, and we'll quote both so you can compare.

We install composite decks in Hudson, Stow, Medina, Green, North Canton, and throughout the greater Akron area.
