I have been building on the west coast for the last 25 years and I feel that composite decking has a real place here. Don't get me wrong there is nothing that looks better than a clear cedar deck, but few can afford the cost of upkeep to keep it looking like it does the day it is installed. I have been doing all kinds of decks here in a sometimes very wet climate. I feel there are pros and cons to almost every deck type. Composites are are very durable and stable product with low to no maintenance issues, which in the long run will save money . They are more costly than cedar but will not require the upkeep. They also have a more durable surface so if pets are involved its something to consider. Ironwoods are strong burt harder to work with, so more costly in labour. Stamped concrete is a great alternative also. What I am getting at is that you really need to find out what the clients wants or needs are and find the right surface for them but of the last 20 or so composite decks we have done we have had no problems with them.
