We prefer composite decking materials such as Trex and TimberTech for their weather resistance, ease of maintenance, and long warranties. While we can build with wood, we generally recommend composite decking materials for their superior longevity.
Composite materials are more durable and require less maintenance than natural wood. They also come with longer warranties. Wood decking needs to be periodically sealed or stained to maintain its beauty, and even then, it has a much shorter lifespan.
We want our customers to feel confident in their investments. The decking materials we use are backed by 25-50-year manufacturer warranties.
We certainly do! At Precision Decks, we don’t limit ourselves to just decks. We can design and build various hardscapes like patios, walkways, and steps in different materials like concrete, brick, natural stone, pavers, tile, and more.
We serve the communities in the greater Grand Rapids area, including Rockford, Ada, Cascade, Grand Rapids Township, and Belmont.
To confirm if we can serve your location, please refer to our “Areas of Service” page. There, you will find a map with our primary service area. Note that we only serve the suburbs northeast of Grand Rapids; we do not operate in Grand Rapids City or other urban areas.
Distance could potentially affect the timeline and cost due to travel time and transportation logistics, but we make every effort to minimize these impacts.
At Precision Decks, we have streamlined our construction process to make it as efficient and straightforward as possible:
- The process begins with an initial consultation and estimate, where we discuss your ideal outdoor space and the design elements you want to include. We also assess your property to understand the construction requirements and layout.
- Next comes the design and planning phase, where we create a detailed design and obtain any necessary permits and approvals for the project.
- After this, the construction phase begins, where our in-house team meticulously crafts your outdoor living space according to the agreed plan.
- Finally, we conduct a final walkthrough to ensure you are satisfied with the result.
The construction period should span between 2-8 weeks, depending on the project’s complexity.

Precision Decks does not directly offer financing. However, we are ready to assist with information on the usual routes our clients use to finance their projects.
Any temperature below 50°F is too cold to stain a deck. While cooler temperatures and low humidity can help you avoid cracking, peeling, or streaking, freezing temperatures can interfere with adhesion.
Applying stain to your deck when it’s too cold (Below 50°F) can interfere with the cure of the coating. This can lead to adhesion and durability issues like cracking and peeling.
Wood is most likely to expand in the summer. High temperatures and direct sunlight can cause swells, warps, cracking, and splintering. In contrast, the winter’s colder temperatures prevent wood from expanding.
Yes, you can install composite decking in cold weather! Because composite decking is resistant to moisture and freezing temperatures, it doesn’t need to be sealed or winterized. Not to mention, the hard ground makes digging post holes and pouring concrete footings easier. These advantages make both Autumn and Winter perfect for installing your composite decking.
