LOOKS GOOD, FEELS GOOD

There’s a reason nothing quite replaces wood. The warmth, variation and natural beauty in these boards is simply beautiful, and there’s a reason other products do their best to imitate it. 

Subtle grain patterns and variations in color and tone give the wood decks we build a one-of-a-kind feel. One that’s rich, earthy and dimensional-and that is exactly what you might be looking for. 

Looks good, feels good 

EXPERERTISE IN DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION OF DECKS

Among the many deck building materials, treated wood is extremely versatile and continues to be a popular choice for many reasons. One of the most recognizable is color. Whether you’re interested in building a deck, porch or structure, there are endless varieties of paint, stains and sealants to help you create a natural look or a color perfectly matched to the exterior of your home.

AN EXCELLENT MATCH 

Creating an outdoor space that feels cohesive, elevated, yet still natural starts with wood. In order of preserving the natural look of the wood, we have a few pros and cons about some of the more popular types of finish. 

DECK SEALER / CLEAR COAT 

This is the minimalist approach, when you really believe in the beauty of natural wood. While preserving the tone, you can add a glossy or matte finish that enhances the functionality of your deck. This sealant is typically easy to apply and likely requires annual ap- plication. It helps to repel water and prevent warping and splitting. 

TRANSPARENT STAIN / CLEAR FINISH 

This is the minimalist approach, when you really believe in the beauty of natural wood. While preserving the tone, you can add a glossy or matte finish that enhances the functionality of your deck. This sealant is typically easy to apply and likely requires annual ap- plication. It helps to repel water and prevent warping and splitting. 

SEMI-TRANSPARENT STAIN 

By adding just a touch of color, this highlights the wood grain and natural texture. It takes a step toward better UV protection, hides discolorations and, unfortunately, needs to be reapplied every 2-3 years. 

DECK SEALER / CLEAR COAT 

If you want more of a raw, natural, unfinished look, this option can help. Once applied it looks like the color of wood but doesn’t do a great job of adding UV and moisture protection. 

PAINT 

For essentially a limitless palette of colors, paint is the way to go. Match your house, your pool, your patio—it’s all possible. It’s full coverage to hide imperfections and protect against UV rays. Major con for paint is the fact that, in outdoor environments, it can—and will—fade, peel and chip over time. Plus, it may need to be sanding before re-painting again. So, if you are after a certain, specific color—paint is the option for you. 

HYBRID COATINGS 

Thanks to chemists, there are some options that don’t necessarily
fit into one category. These blended take the qualities of old- school penetrating oils—and combine them with the advantages of newer water based or synthetic components. This creates a finish that performs better than a simple oil or water finish alone. These innovative products clean up with soap and water and have lower VOCs which make them easier to work with, especially if you are doing it yourself.

"There is just something special about working with wood. The look of the grain, the feel of it. It’s really versatile and easy to work with. I will always enjoy the simplicity of building a wood deck."

- Phil Klonowski, Owner

For more than thirty years we’ve been building custom wood decks. So, we know firsthand that these decks offer a timeless beauty, natural warmth, and the versatility to create personalized outdoor spaces that complement any home 

WOOD FOR THE WIN

Wood was the original decking material because it was abundant, versatile, and beautiful—and even today, its aesthetic and tactile appeal keeps it the most popular choice for outdoor decks.

To help decide if wood is right for your deck, we thought we’d elaborate on reasons that are meaningful to us and many of our clients. 

REAL DEAL
For texture, grain, warmth and color variation, natural wood is unmatched It brings an organic, lived in feel to a space. It doesn’t feel manufactured, it feels like it belongs in your back, front or side yard.
COMFORT
It has a softer feel than the harder, coated composite or PVC surfaces. It also has a tendency to stay cooler—so it’s a bit kinder to your feet than many synthetic materials. Whether you spend your outdoor time poolside or with pups and kids, this could be an important consideration.
LONG-LASTING
The Klassic Custom Deck crews build with YellaWood® which is pressure treated using preservatives that are driven deep into the wood, giving it protection against rot, fungal decay, and termites. This is important because while it is natural wood, it’s enhanced for long-lasting performance.
STYLE FOR MILES
Cuts, shapes and design without limitations? Yes. If you want an intricate design or custom layout, wood is a friend of your imagination!
IN YOUR BUDGET
Both materials and installation are typically more cost-effective versus premium composite options.
