Here's why Wood Decks (Especially pressure treated lumber) Are Not Ideal for Connecticut's Climate
High Moisture Exposure
Connecticut gets a fair amount of rain, snow, and humidity throughout the year. Wood is a porous material that absorbs moisture, which can lead to:
- Warping and cracking
- Rot and decay
- Mold and mildew growth
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Winters in Connecticut bring freezing temperatures that can cause water trapped in the wood to expand and contract. This leads to:
- Splitting
- Surface degradation
- Loosening of fasteners over time
Insect Vulnerability
Wood decks are vulnerable to:
- Termites
- Carpenter ants
- Wood-boring beetles, especially if the deck is not regularly treated or sealed.
High Maintenance Requirements
To protect wood from the elements, homeowners must:
- Stain or seal it every 1–2 years
- Power wash regularly
- Replace boards more frequently than with composite or PVC
This ongoing maintenance adds up in both time and cost—and even with upkeep, natural wood still degrades faster than synthetic materials.

Things to Consider When Choosing Composite Decking in Connecticut
- Material Quality – Not all composites are created equal. We use top brands like TimberTech & Azek for premium durability.
- Color & Texture Options – Choose from a variety of finishes that mimic real wood.
- Cost vs. Longevity – While composite costs more upfront, it saves money on long-term maintenance.
