Looking to renovate an existing deck. Since I dont like tedious maintenance, I was looking into composite decking/railing to replace the existing PT.
However, the more I read about different brands the more I hear about how "low maintenance" they really ARENT. i.e. TimberTech forms mold/mildew, CorrectDeck sorta does the same unless you pay extra for their new anti-microbial product but it also loses color quickly and unevenly. GeoDeck seemed to be OK but I didnt like their T&G version because it didnt look to be very "hidden fastener" like.
Does anyone have *recent* experience with any of these products? TimberTech, GeoDeck, CorrectDeck, or Weatherbest?
At this point Im not sure its worth the extra $$$ for composite over, say, PT or even Cedar. Im located in the Northeast, so I dont know how well cedar would hold up, but it sure does look nice!
Thanks!
