What are the costs of different decking materials?

The cost of decking materials can vary widely. Are you looking for specific types like wood, composite, or PVC?

Yes, can you give me a breakdown of the costs for each type?

Sure! Pressure-treated wood typically costs around $2 to $5 per square foot, while composite decking ranges from $4 to $10 per square foot. PVC can be a bit higher, around $6 to $12 per square foot.

What about maintenance costs for these materials?

Maintenance costs also vary. Wood requires regular sealing and staining, which can add up to $1 to $2 per square foot annually. Composite and PVC are lower maintenance, often requiring just cleaning.

Are there any eco-friendly options?

Yes, there are eco-friendly composite options made from recycled materials, and some woods are sustainably sourced. They can be a bit pricier but are better for the environment.
