Honest material guide

Composite vs. PVC vs. Wood Decking: An Honest Deck Builder’s Comparison

Every material has trade-offs. Here’s what we tell homeowners in London, Ontario before they invest — including when a less expensive option is the right call.

Chosen for Southwestern Ontario’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers — from London and Komoka backyards to lake-effect cottages near Grand Bend.

Option 1 of 4

PVC (cellular) decking

Top-tier, no wood content

Wolf PRO certified
Lifespan
30–50 yrs
Upkeep
Soap & water
Investment
Premium
Warranty
50-yr stain & fade* + 5-yr labour

Why homeowners choose it

  • No wood content — won’t rot, swell or feed mould
  • Stays cooler underfoot than most composites
  • Handles pool splash and shade-damp yards with ease
  • Lightest boards, excellent stain and fade resistance

Honest trade-offs

  • Highest upfront investment
  • Expands and contracts with temperature — needs precise gapping
  • Can read slightly less like real wood up close

Where it belongs: Pool surrounds, shaded or damp yards, lakeside cottages and homeowners who never want to maintain a deck again.

Option 2 of 4

Capped composite decking

The popular premium choice

Wolf PRO certified
Lifespan
25–50 yrs
Upkeep
Soap & water
Investment
Upper-mid
Warranty
50-yr stain & fade* + 5-yr labour

Why homeowners choose it

  • Rich, realistic wood-grain finishes
  • Protective cap resists spills, food and wine stains
  • No staining, sanding or splinters — safe for kids and pets
  • Long manufacturer warranties

Honest trade-offs

  • Darker colours get warm in full July sun
  • Heavier than PVC
  • Deep scratches can show the core

Where it belongs: Most London-area backyards: a beautiful, durable deck with strong long-term value.

Option 3 of 4

Pressure-treated wood

Budget-friendly

Lifespan
10–20 yrs
Upkeep
Stain every 1–3 yrs
Investment
Entry

Why homeowners choose it

  • Lowest upfront cost
  • Easy to repair or replace individual boards
  • The standard for structural framing

Honest trade-offs

  • Needs washing and staining every 1–3 years
  • Checks, splits and warps through Ontario winters
  • Splinters

Where it belongs: Tight budgets, rental properties, or the framing beneath a composite or PVC surface.

Option 4 of 4

Cedar

Natural beauty

Lifespan
15–25 yrs
Upkeep
Seasonal sealing
Investment
Mid

Why homeowners choose it

  • Warm natural colour and scent
  • Naturally resists insects and decay
  • Stays cooler than composite

Honest trade-offs

  • Turns silver-grey without regular sealing
  • Softer — dents under furniture and pet claws
  • Price swings with lumber markets

Where it belongs: Homeowners who love real wood and enjoy seasonal upkeep.

Patrick’s field verdict

Our honest take: for clients planning to stay in their home, capped composite or PVC on a helical pile foundation costs more on day one but less over 20 years — no staining, no board replacement, and a warranty only a certified Wolf PRO can offer.

*Manufacturer decking warranty. Railings and lighting carry their own 5-year manufacturer warranties.
