Low-Maintenance Materials

Composite Decking Built for Universal City

Composite decking has come a long way from the plastic-looking boards of a decade ago. Today's capped composite boards from Trex and TimberTech have realistic wood grain, come in a wide range of colors, and resist fading, staining, scratching, and moisture far better than natural wood — which matters when your deck bakes in 100°F sun for months at a time.

We regularly coordinate build schedules around PCS timelines, and understand the urgency when a family needs outdoor space finished before a move date rather than an open-ended timeline. When it comes to composite decking specifically, Universal City permits through its own building department. Some neighborhoods near the base have HOA guidelines on visible structures — we check this during the design consultation so there are no approval surprises.

  • No annual staining or sealing required
  • 25–50 year manufacturer fade and stain warranties
  • Cooler underfoot than many wood species in direct sun
  • Resists splintering, warping, and insect damage

Our Process

How Composite Decking Works in Universal City

01

Material Selection

We bring physical board samples to your home so you can see color and grain pattern in your actual lighting before you commit.

02

Substructure Build

Composite decking needs correctly spaced joists and proper ventilation underneath — we frame to the manufacturer's exact specifications to protect your warranty.

03

Board Installation

Boards are installed with hidden fastener clips and manufacturer-specified gapping to allow for thermal expansion in our summer heat.

04

Trim & Warranty Registration

We finish fascia and picture-frame trim details, then register your manufacturer warranty so it's on file in your name.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

If you value your weekends, generally yes. Composite typically costs 20–40% more upfront than pressure-treated pine, but you'll never pay for staining, sanding, or board replacement over the life of the deck. Over a 15–20 year span, total cost of ownership is often comparable or lower than wood.
