No Annual Staining Required
Composite Decking in Baraboo for long-lasting outdoor surfaces that resist rot, moisture, and insect damage without ongoing maintenance
RENEWDECK LLC installs composite decking in Baraboo for homeowners who want a durable surface that does not require staining, sealing, or sanding. Composite boards are made from a blend of wood fiber and plastic, which resists the moisture absorption and UV breakdown that affect natural wood. You avoid the seasonal upkeep cycle and still get a surface that holds up under snow, rain, and daily use.
Installation follows the same structural process as wood decks, with proper joist spacing and ledger attachment. Composite boards are fastened using hidden clips or face screws depending on the product, and they expand and contract slightly with temperature changes. Gaps are left between boards to allow for movement. Color options range from gray and brown tones to more uniform finishes, and the surface texture can mimic wood grain or remain smooth.

You select composite decking based on how much time you want to spend on maintenance and how the material responds to Wisconsin weather. Composite does not splinter, warp, or rot like untreated wood, and it does not provide a food source for insects. The surface can be cleaned with soap and water, and it does not fade as quickly as unstained wood.
Once installed, you will notice that the deck maintains a consistent color without the need for annual treatment, and the surface remains smooth without cracking or peeling. RENEWDECK LLC builds composite decks to the same structural standards as wood, so the frame is just as stable and the finished deck meets code for railing height and load capacity.
Composite boards can retain more heat in direct sunlight compared to wood, which affects comfort when walking barefoot. Some products include cooling technology or lighter colors to reduce surface temperature. Composite is not suitable for all budgets, as material cost is higher upfront, but the reduction in maintenance offsets that over time.
Questions About Choosing Composite Decking
Homeowners in Baraboo often compare composite to wood and want to understand performance, installation, and long-term value.
What makes composite decking more durable than wood?
The plastic content prevents moisture from penetrating the board, which eliminates the rot, mold, and insect damage that occur when wood stays wet or is exposed to freeze-thaw cycles.
How do you clean composite decking?
Most spills and dirt can be removed with a garden hose and mild detergent, and stubborn stains from grease or pollen can be scrubbed with a soft brush without damaging the surface.
Why does composite cost more upfront?
The manufacturing process and material composition increase the price per board, but you save on staining, sealing, and board replacement over the life of the deck.
What colors are available for composite decking in Baraboo?
Products range from natural wood tones to grays and darker browns, with options for solid color or variegated grain patterns that resemble traditional lumber.
When should you choose composite over wood?
If you prefer a low-maintenance surface, plan to keep the deck for many years, or want to avoid the recurring cost and effort of staining, composite is a better fit than traditional wood.
