Why Wooden Decks Still Own the Backyards in Great Falls, SC

Looking at wooden decks in Great Falls, SC? Paramount Deck Solutions knows that building wooden decks in Great Falls, SC requires understanding the local clay soil and high humidity.

Pressure-Treated Wood vs. Cedar: Which Wood Decking Wins in SC?

Choosing between pressure-treated pine and cedar for a new wooden deck in Great Falls, SC comes down to cost and durability. Paramount Deck Solutions builds wooden decks with both materials, and each has its own set of characteristics for the Great Falls climate. Pressure-treated pine is very cost-effective and provides a solid, reliable option for homeowners who want a sturdy wooden deck without a high upfront price. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, and cedar also has a very nice grain and natural appearance that many homeowners prefer. Pressure-treated pine requires regular staining and sealing to prevent warping and cracking over time. Cedar also needs maintenance, but cedar will generally hold its color and structural integrity longer when exposed to the elements in Great Falls.
