  Keep in mind that most deck builders and contractors consider deck building the best “MARGIN” for profit. They usually align the material costs with labor expenses, maintaining a 1:1 ratio. For instance, if materials amount to $10,000, the total cost of the deck would be $20,000. Deck builders and contractors typically secure materials from reliable sources, add a markup of 15-20 percent, and then equate that total with their labor charges. While this pricing strategy may appear steep, the expenses involved in insuring a crew, managing their payroll, licensing a sales agent, and ensuring a profit margin are substantial within today’s market environment.

Expansion and Heat Transfer

One of the notable advantages of Fiberon composite decking is its stability in varying temperatures. Unlike traditional wood, which can expand, contract, and warp with changes in weather, Fiberon's composite material remains stable. This reduces the risk of gaps and buckling over time. Additionally, Fiberon decking has been engineered to minimize heat transfer, making it comfortable to walk on even on hot summer days. This feature is particularly beneficial for families with children or pets.
