Composite Decks

Composite Decks and Railings in San Diego

In San Diego’s sunny, coastal climate—with mild temperatures, occasional humidity, salt air, and plenty of UV exposure—composite decks and railings remain a top choice for homeowners seeking durable, low-maintenance outdoor living spaces.

Leading brands like Trex (eco-friendly with up to 95% recycled materials, excellent fade/stain resistance, and popular lines like Transcend), TimberTech (including AZEK PVC options for superior moisture resistance, cooler touch, and top-rated fire performance). Add the durability and aesthetics of stainless cable or glass railings for a bulletproof modern design.

Composite materials resist rot, warping, splintering, fading, and mold better than traditional wood, making them ideal for year-round use near beaches, pools, or elevated views. Local San Diego deck builders like our pros at San Diego Independent Construction frequently install composite decking with complementary railings—aluminum, cable, glass, or composite hybrids—for modern, safe designs that enhance backyards and patios. With minimal upkeep (no staining or sealing needed) and strong warranties (often 25–50 years), composite options deliver lasting beauty, value, and performance tailored to SoCal’s demanding environment.

For over two decades now, we have made it a priority to research and attend presentations and events within the composite decking industry. We perform ongoing education, research and development, product testing, and participate in trainings related to composite decks and railings. Our owner has visited several decking and lumber production facilities where composites are manufactured to ensure the selection of the best products for our installations.

As a company we have performed 100s of composite deck installations since 2003. Also integrating these products over hardwoods and steel railing frames for aesthetics and lower maintenance top rail options. Periodically we visit previously completed projects to study them after years of weathering. We examine the fastening systems, colors, and product types. As a company we have designed composite decking and railing systems to facilitate glass railing installations, trellis, fencing, cable railings, seating, planters, poolside decks, spa surrounds and more.
