TimberTech Decking: Composites for Building Smarter, Not Harder

Crafting Outdoor Living for 365

We specialize in crafting dynamic, functional outdoor spaces for year-round enjoyment. To achieve this, we prioritize materials that offer the ideal blend of beauty, durability, and low maintenance. Our premier choice is TimberTech composite decking, a product that consistently surpasses expectations and delivers truly exceptional, stunning results.

We’ve personally witnessed how this decking transforms outdoor living areas into seamless extensions of the home. Its superior resistance to the elements and heavy use, unlike traditional wood, minimizes the need for upkeep. This means our clients are liberated from the continuous chore of sanding, staining, and sealing.

A Look at the Benefits We Love (and Our Clients Do Too!):

  • Unmatched Durability: TimberTech composite decking is engineered to last, resisting rot, decay, and insect damage. This means a deck that looks fantastic for decades, even in our varied Pacific Northwest climate.
  • Low Maintenance Living: Forget the yearly chores! A simple scrub and rinse are all it takes to keep a surface looking pristine. More time enjoying your deck, less time working on it.
  • Stunning Aesthetics: With an incredible range of colors and realistic wood grain textures, TimberTech offers the authentic look of natural wood without the drawbacks. From rich, hand-scraped finishes to subtle, weathered oaks, there’s a style to complement any home.
  • Sustainability You Can Feel Good About: The composite boards are made in the USA from up to 85% recycled materials, including plastic bags and jugs. Building a beautiful deck that’s also environmentally friendly? That’s a win-win.
  • Industry-Leading Warranties: We appreciate the peace of mind that comes with TimberTech’s 25- and 30-year fade and stain limited warranties, varying by collection. It’s a testament to their confidence in their product, and ours.

Case Study: The Mill Creek Outdoor Renaissance

Our Mill Creek clients recently completed a stunning transformation that perfectly showcases the versatility and longevity of TimberTech composite decking. The homeowners wanted to create a true year-round entertainment area.

The project involved a significant deck expansion creating a multi-zone outdoor haven. The decking’s unmatched durability ensures the structure will withstand the added traffic and Pacific Northwest weather. The expanded, covered area features multiple skylights to maintain brightness, while fully controllable heaters extend the usability deep into the cooler months. The heart of the new space is a beautiful outdoor fireplace and a mounted TV, making it the ultimate spot for cozy evenings and game day gatherings.

The choice of decking material was critical for a project of this scale and complexity. As Tenhulzen Construction’s own Scott Tenhulzen highlights: “One of our favorite products, on really any deck is the TimberTech Azek decking. It’s a pure PVC product. You’re not going to have the expansion and contraction. It stays cool. It’s more lightweight than the composite materials… for the longevity of the project and what you’re putting into an investment side, you’re going to get out in the back end is perfect.”

The homeowners were thrilled with the outcome, praising the deck’s inviting appearance and how easily they can now enjoy their lakeside views without worrying about constant maintenance—a testament to the low maintenance living benefit of TimberTech composite decking.
