Why Choose Northern Lights Exteriors for Composite Decking?

Plenty of contractors say they “work with Trex or TimberTech.” We go further. As a full-service exterior remodeling and deck company, we look at the entire home: structure, elevations, egress, drainage, and long-term durability—not just the surface boards.

What Sets Our Composite Deck Projects Apart

  • Brand-agnostic recommendations — We design around your home, budget, and goals, then match you with the right Trex, TimberTech, or Deckorators product line.
  • Steel or engineered framing options for straighter decks, longer spans, and reduced movement over time.
  • Deck + exterior integration — We also remodel siding, windows, roofing, and rail systems, so details align perfectly with your home’s architecture.
  • Colorado-specific detailing to handle snow load, freeze–thaw cycles, UV exposure, and drainage.
  • Clear communication and project management from a local, licensed, and insured company that’s been serving Colorado for 25+ years.

If you value design, performance, and long-term value as much as low maintenance, we’re the right partner for your composite deck project.


Trex®, TimberTech®, and Deckorators®: Which Composite Decking Is Right for You?

Each brand offers excellent options for Colorado homes, but they shine in slightly different ways. We help you compare appearance, performance, warranty, and budget so you’re confident in your choice.

Trex® Composite Decking

  • Well-known brand with proven composite formulations.
  • Multiple lines and color ranges, from more budget-friendly to high-end aesthetics.
  • Great fit when you want classic composite looks, strong warranties, and excellent overall value.

TimberTech® Composite & PVC Decking

  • Advanced composite and PVC product lines with highly realistic woodgrain.
  • Excellent fade and stain resistance for Colorado’s intense UV exposure.
  • Great choice for homeowners who want a luxury look with low maintenance and specific color/texture options.

Deckorators® Mineral-Based Composite (MBC)

  • Mineral-based core that is exceptionally stable and resists expansion and contraction.
  • Ideal for longer spans, modern designs, and more complex engineering scenarios.
  • Perfect pairing with steel framing when you want maximum structural performance and a unique aesthetic.

During your design consultation, we’ll talk through how you use your space, what you like visually, and how long you plan to stay in the home. Then we’ll narrow down the right brand, product tier, color, railing, and under-deck options for your lifestyle.


Composite Decks Built on Steel Framing for Maximum Longevity

Composite boards perform best when the underlying structure is designed to match their lifespan. We frequently recommend steel framing or enhanced framing layouts for composite and PVC decks, especially for elevated, large, or premium projects.

  • Stronger, straighter framing that reduces bounce and long-term sagging.
  • Lower movement from moisture and temperature shifts compared to traditional lumber.
  • Excellent pairing with high-end Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators boards for a truly long-term system.
  • Ideal foundation for wildfire-aware or WUI-conscious designs when paired with appropriate materials.

If you’re planning to invest in a premium composite product line, steel framing is often the smartest way to protect that investment for the long term.

Composite Decking FAQs

Is Trex, TimberTech, or Deckorators better for Colorado?

All three brands perform well in Colorado when installed correctly. The “best” option depends on your budget, color and texture preferences, and structural needs. We’ll help you compare product lines side-by-side so you can choose confidently.

How long does a composite deck last?

Many composite and PVC products carry warranties in the 25–50 year range. Real-world longevity depends on framing quality, installation, and exposure. That’s why we focus on proper structure and detailing in addition to the surface boards.

Can I upgrade my existing wood deck to composite?

Often, yes—but the existing framing has to meet today’s structural standards and the manufacturer’s requirements. In many cases, it’s smart to rebuild the structure while upgrading to composite so the whole system is designed to last.

Is steel framing worth it for a composite deck?

For larger, more complex, or higher-end projects, steel framing is frequently worth the investment. It delivers better long-term stability, reduced movement, and a stronger foundation for premium composite or PVC boards.

How much does a composite deck cost in Colorado?

Pricing varies based on size, height, framing type, brand and product line, railing choices, and accessories like lighting or under-deck drainage. During your consultation we’ll discuss realistic budget ranges and create a transparent, line-item proposal for your project.
