Deck Boards & Decking Materials in Oshawa

Composite decking from Trex or TimberTech is the best choice for Oshawa's freeze-thaw cycles. It resists cracking, warping, and moisture damage without any staining or sealing. Pressure-treated wood is a more affordable option but requires annual maintenance.

Pressure-treated deck boards cost $2-$4 per linear foot, while composite decking ranges from $5-$12 per linear foot depending on the brand and line. RenoHouse provides free estimates including materials and installation labor.

For larger small-town properties, cedar or pressure-treated wood fences offer the best value for long runs. Vinyl fencing is more expensive upfront but requires zero maintenance — a significant advantage for large perimeters. We help you balance cost, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements for your specific lot size.

Clean gutters twice yearly — after spring pollen and after fall leaves. Check for proper slope (¼" per 10 ft toward downspouts), tighten loose brackets, and ensure downspouts direct water at least 4 ft from the foundation. Gutter guards reduce maintenance significantly and are worth the investment on homes near trees.

Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) handles Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and humidity without splitting, warping, or rotting. While it costs more than pressure-treated wood initially ($30–$45/sq ft vs. $20–$30 installed), the zero-maintenance longevity provides better value over 20+ years.
