Our new deck is finally completed! It turned out great! The deck is made of Westar composite material and the railing and lattice is vinyl. 100% maintenance free deck. No sanding or staining! The deck will fade a little in the first couple months of sun, but after that it stays the same for many years. The under side of the deck is rain proof with a long lasting plastic material as well. We also got a new spa, new furnace, and a new A/C unit. You can see the pictures of our remodeling project on flickr.
