The two most popular deck materials in Gloucester Township are pressure-treated lumber and composite decking like Trex or TimberTech. Pressure-treated wood decks typically cost less upfront — averaging $25–$35 per square foot installed in South Jersey — but require annual sealing and periodic staining to maintain their appearance. Composite decks cost more initially, averaging $45–$65 per square foot installed, but are virtually maintenance-free, resist rot and insects, and carry manufacturer warranties of 25–30 years. For homeowners in Gloucester Township who want the lowest long-term cost of ownership, composite decking is almost always the better investment. Our team helps every customer compare both options side by side so you can make a confident, informed choice.

Composite decking — such as Trex or TimberTech — performs best in South Jersey’s climate because it handles humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure without warping, cracking, or requiring annual sealing. Composite decking carries warranties of 25–30 years and holds its color far longer than wood. Pressure-treated lumber is a solid, cost-effective option but requires more maintenance to hold up in South Jersey’s wet springs and hot summers.
