Composite decking choices?

codeman671 · 05-31-2011, 12:11 PM

What are others experiences with composite decking- brand, pricing, durability, etc? I am looking to pull off our stained white cedar decking and replace with a composite/pvc product with a dark, wood grain finish. I need about 1000 square feet (2000 of LF) of it so it won't be a small job so I need to be careful on the per linear foot pricing. I am seeing everything from $2.25-$4.25 per LF so I am curious what others have used.

We have Timber Tech on our dock which has been ok, but the installer did a poor job. They butted everything up and we have gotten ridges and lifted edges from swelling.

I'd be curious to hear from some of the contractors that post on here as well for the labor side, feel free to PM me regarding looking at it for quotes.
