Create an Outdoor Space You'll Love
A deck is more than an extension of your home - it's a place to gather with family, entertain friends, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy backyard retreat or a large space for hosting guests, R&B Roofing and Remodeling designs and builds custom decks that are both beautiful and built to last. Serving homeowners throughout Louisville, KY, Pittsburgh, PA, and Buffalo, NY, we help bring outdoor living ideas to life with premium composite decking products and expert craftsmanship.
Wood vs. Composite Decking
Choosing the right decking material is one of the most important decisions you'll make during your project. While both wood and composite decking create beautiful outdoor living spaces, each offers unique advantages depending on your budget, maintenance preferences, and long-term goals. Our team will help you compare your options and select the material that's right for your home.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is designed for homeowners who want the beauty of wood without the extensive maintenance. Products from Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators resist fading, staining, splintering, moisture, and insect damage while requiring little more than occasional cleaning. Although composite decking typically has a higher initial investment, its durability and low-maintenance performance often make it the better long-term value.
Traditional Wood Decking
Wood decking offers a classic, natural appearance that many homeowners love. It's often a more budget-friendly option upfront and can be stained or painted to achieve a customized look. However, wood requires ongoing maintenance, including regular staining, sealing, and inspections to help protect against moisture, rot, insects, and weather-related wear.

Frequently Asked Decking Questions
Building a new deck is an exciting investment, and we know homeowners often have questions before getting started. Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often. If you'd like to discuss your ideas or learn more about your options, we're happy to help.
How much does a custom deck cost?
A typical 250–400 sq ft composite deck (Trex, TimberTech, or Deckorators boards on a code-compliant pressure-treated frame) runs $18,500 to $42,000 depending on size, height, railing, lighting, and substructure. Pressure-treated pine decks of the same footprint start around $9,500. Every R&B deck quote is written and has a fixed price.
Should I install composite or wood decking?
If you plan to stay in your home 7+ years, composite (Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators) wins on total cost of ownership: zero staining or sealing, 25–50 year stain/fade warranties, and superior performance in Pittsburgh freeze-thaw cycles, Louisville humidity, and Buffalo lake-effect snow. Pressure-treated pine costs less upfront but needs sealing every 2–3 years and typically lasts 10–15 years before a major rebuild.
How long does a custom deck build take?
From signed contract to finished deck: typically 4–8 weeks. That includes design, engineered drawings, permit pull, material lead time, and 5–10 days of on-site build. Storm damage and weather can shift the schedule - we communicate every step.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Many deck projects require permits depending on the size, height, and local building codes. Our team handles the permitting process and helps ensure your project complies with all applicable regulations.
