Best Decking Materials for Roanoke Weather: Wood vs. Composite

Roanoke’s varied climate means decks must endure rain, snow, and sun exposure. Choosing the right material is key. Traditional wood decks (such as pressure-treated pine or cedar) offer classic beauty but require regular maintenance to prevent rot and weathering. Composite decking, by contrast, provides low-maintenance durability and resists fading, staining, and warping.

At Blue Ridge Deck Crafters, we help homeowners choose materials that meet their aesthetic preferences and maintenance goals. Whether you prefer the warmth of natural wood or the convenience of composite, we build decks that last.
