Composites appear to last near forever, but cost more

However replace your deck now and sell in 8 to years and the buyer
will expect its replaced again.

So if you plan on selling within 10 years double the costs

Or be prepared that your home will be classified a low cost fixer upper


I just went through two neighbors open houses for sale and made the same
observation.
