Composite Deck Benefits

Composite is an innovative building material made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic polymers. This unique composition results in decks that are

Environmentally-friendly

Made from recycled materials, such as plastic and wood fibers, which helps reduce waste and conserve natural resources. It also has a long lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements, and its low maintenance requirements limit the use of harsh chemicals for cleaning and sealing.

Unbeatable durability

The durability of a composite deck is particularly beneficial in the Outer Banks region, where the coastal climate can be harsh on outdoor structures. The salt air, intense UV rays, and frequent moisture that can quickly degrade traditional wood decks have minimal impact on composite materials.

Low maintenance

Moreover, the low maintenance aspect custom composite decks cannot be overstated. Gone are the days of annual staining, sealing, and repairs. With a composite deck, homeowners can enjoy their outdoor spaces without the constant worry of upkeep. A simple cleaning with soap and water is usually all that’s needed to keep your deck looking fresh and new.

Enhanced curb appeal

The aesthetic appeal of composite decking has also come a long way since its introduction. Modern composite materials come in a wide array of colors and textures, many of which convincingly mimic the look of natural wood. Offers a variety of tones to complement any home’s exterior design.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a composite deck really last?
With proper installation and good ventilation, quality composite decking can easily last 25-30 years or longer. The plastic polymers and protective capping resist weathering far better than wood. Many manufacturers offer warranties of 25 years or more, testament to the longevity of these products.
Composite absorbs and releases heat differently than wood, so light colors are best for minimizing heat retention. Some brands offer product lines specifically engineered to reduce heat absorption. While composite can get warm in direct sunlight, many modern products are designed with technology to dissipate heat more effectively than earlier generations.
No, composite deck materials are formulated with good traction that helps prevent slips. The plastic composition means no wood grain raises over time to create trip hazards either. Many manufacturers incorporate textured surfaces or specialized coatings to enhance slip resistance, making composite a safe choice for pool areas and regions with frequent rainfall.
Yes, composite decks need proper air gaps just like wood to prevent buckling and allow for drainage. That’s why professional installation is so important for ensuring longevity. The specific spacing requirements can vary depending on the manufacturer and product line, which is why it’s crucial to work with experienced installers who are familiar with the particular materials being used.

We hired Simpleside to replace our home's aging deck and windows. Grant was very helpful with his initial consultations and video presentation to refine the details of the project according to our budget and style. Once the project began, the crew built a high quality product in short order. Gretchen was very friendly and personable, keeping us informed of daily progress with emails and pictures. She was incredible with continuous communications that really created an easy and efficient overall process. Our experiences with Grant, Gretchen, and their terrific team of carpenters were excellent. They kept their attention on the customer and were very responsive throughout the entire project. Simpleside put on an end-to-end master class of home improvement that exceeded our high expectations! We love our new deck and windows. Thank you so much!

My husband and I have been involved in multiple construction projects of various sizes over the years. By far, the interaction with Simpleside was the best construction experience we have ever had. They did what the said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. The project was on time and within budget. They were transparent at every step of the transaction and extremely responsive. Also important, they are licensed! They are a unicorn among beach contractors!

From our initial phone call, to them, being answered, to the final inspection of our new deck and stairs, the folks at Simpleside have excelled at every opportunity. They efficiently handled every set of tasks and challenges that came along. They use only the very best materials, which really is necessary in our coastal environment for any construction project to last.Our deck and stairs look wonderful! They are strong and solid. We have showed the finished project off to many of our friends and, have received nothing but the highest accolades for the appearance and quality for Simplesides' work.I am a retired Engineer and typically do all my own work. I am more than a little particular about the quality of work done to our home. The Simpleside crews did an excellent job! We could not be happier with our new deck and stairs.We highly recommend Simpleside to anyone needing construction work.

Simpleside OBX is simply the best contractor out there in OBX. After having spent awhile searching for a good quality contractor I happen to connect with Grant over email and soon after a quick phone call, I knew that I found a consummate professional.Grant is easy to work with and thorough in his interactions which made me feel comfortable. I replaced aged decks and extended roof on both decks involving some creative thinking for the stairs. I felt so happy to have found them and was glad they were able to accommodate my job during March and April. Grant has a great PM in Gretchen who is so good with updates and communication. I cannot thank her enough for sending photos almost daily! THANK YOU So very much for the entire team to deliver a high quality of craftsmanship !! Tagore!

SimpleSide recently completed a full renovation of our "beach box" second home in Kill Devil Hills. They did an amazing job inside and out and the house looks and feels brand new. Grant is very knowledgeable and personable. He and Gretchen were wonderful to work with, and were very responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. We live a few hours away, so it felt great to be involved in the process from afar and to be kept informed along the way, when we couldn't be there in person. The communication portal they use is great for viewing progress photos, summaries of work completed, and communication. Gretchen was awesome for helping with the selection of materials and finishes and also answering questions quickly. Their quote for this work was competitive with other quotes we received, and we felt better about SimpleSide from the start. All around, this was a great experience, and we would not hesitate to work with SimpleSide again the in the future, and will also enthusiastically recommend them to others who are in the market for a great contractor.

Grant and his crews worked on a remodel of our 1970s era saltbox in South Nags Head. The house was used as a rental for 40 years, and we wanted to transform it into our permanent home. To do that, we needed four changes: more closet space, parking underneath the house, converting a second floor master bedroom into an ocean view living area, and creating a new master bedroom. Working with an architect (Michael O'Steen), Grant and his crew at Simpleside Construction, we were able to accomplish all of those things. By raising the roof, we were able to add addition space on the second floor for a new master bedroom and walk-in closet, increasing our overall square footage from about 1000 to 1300. Our remodel included all new siding & roofing, replacing popcorn ceilings and walls, painting all walls, trim and ceilings, new flooring on the second floor, and a new covered front porch. Grant was helpful for us every step of the way, always making suggestions and providing insights on what might work or wouldn’t. The highlight was the new stairway in the existing living room that Grant built (before and after pix included). Throughout the process, he was patient and a good listener as we discussed potential changes and options. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any home remodeling or build project or use him again for our future projects.

We had Grant at SimpleSide Construction renovate our 1970s bathroom. Our bathroom floor was compromised due a leak from the previous owners so the renovation was much needed. Grant was prompt with his email and phone correspondence from the very beginning to the end of the project. He finished the project ahead of his timeline and communicated with us thoroughly throughout the project. Grant did a lot of the work himself, which I thought was very respectable. There were no hidden fees and our project came out as Grant had estimated at the beginning. 3 things that Grant did that really stood out to me: 1. The plumbers from another business accidentally hit our neighbor's mailbox when they came to install the plumbing. I called Grant and he came and fixed our neighbor's mailbox himself on a Sunday. 2. There were two small things I wanted fixed after the job was complete and paid for, and when I called Grant about them he came and fixed them himself the same day I called. 3. Every day throughout demolition and painting, Grant came to check in on the work and sweep up at the end of the day. Our bathroom went from a rotted 1970s mess to an awesome, durable, clean bathroom that we LOVE! We highly recommend Grant and SimpleSide Construction and will definitely be using them again!
