So...do you not have any experience with Composite decking then??  |
I haven't seen any deck contractors working in The Villages, so I cannot recommend a contractor. But, I would definitely prefer a composite deck material to a treated wood material. I would get 2 or 3 quotes from a few deck contractors and some customer references. Google reviews are worthless. Looking at the cost for the Trex material at Lowes, it appears to be very expensive just for the materials. If you are also considering a concrete slab, I think it would be a less expensive project than a composite deck. One other point is that, if you raise the deck to the same floor level as the lanai, you need to be concerned about preventing water from coming into the lanai. Good luck.
