Proper Built is a Deckorators Certified Pro and Deckorators Certified Elite installer serving homeowners across the Portland metro area. Our Deckorators decking installation projects are built with the same care and attention to detail that earned us Deckorators’ highest contractor recognition.
Deckorators composite decking is designed to stand up to the Pacific Northwest’s rain, temperature swings, and year-round moisture. We help homeowners choose the right Deckorators product line, color, and board profile for a deck that looks great and holds up for decades.
Deckorators Product Lines for Every Deck Project
Deckorators offers five decking lines, each built for a different set of priorities and budgets. We walk homeowners through the options during the design process so you can pick the line that fits your project and your goals.
- Voyage: Voyage is Deckorators’ top-tier line, built with their patented Surestone mineral-based composite technology. It comes in six colors, offers the best surface traction in the lineup, and carries a 50-year structural warranty along with 25-year stain, fade, and removal and replacement coverage.
- Summit: Summit is a newer addition that uses the same Surestone mineral-based composite technology as Voyage at a more accessible price point. It comes in three colors (Glacier, Boulder, and Cliffside) and delivers strong mineral-based performance and stability for homeowners seeking premium durability without the full investment of the Voyage line.
- Vista: Vista is a wood-plastic composite line with rich, variegated colors that mimic exotic hardwoods. It features a fire-resistant core with a Class B flame spread rating, making it a solid choice for homeowners who want a tropical look with added fire safety.
- Altitude: Altitude pairs a natural wood-grain finish with a fire-resistant core. It is a good fit for homeowners in fire-conscious areas or anyone who wants a clean, understated board with reliable performance.
- Venture: Venture is Deckorators’ value-focused composite line, available in two colors. It offers scratch resistance, easy cleanup, and a 25-year warranty package for homeowners working within a tighter budget.
Benefits of Deckorators Composite Decking
Deckorators composite decking brings a combination of strength, stability, and low maintenance that works well in the Pacific Northwest. Portland homeowners benefit from several features that set Deckorators apart from other composite brands.
- Mineral-Based Composite Technology: Deckorators’ Surestone lines (Voyage and Summit) use crushed limestone and polypropylene as fillers instead of wood. This makes the boards lighter, stronger, and far more resistant to moisture absorption than traditional wood-plastic composites.
- Low Thermal Expansion: Mineral-based Deckorators boards exhibit virtually no expansion or contraction with temperature changes. This keeps boards stable, reduces gaps between planks, and prevents the warping and fastener issues that affect many other composite products.
- Slip Resistance: Deckorators decking is textured for traction, even when wet. The Voyage line offers some of the highest surface-grip ratings in the composite category, which matters on Deckorators decks built near pools or hot tubs, or in Portland’s rainy climate.
- Long-Term Warranty Coverage: Deckorators backs its mineral-based lines with structural warranties up to 50 years, plus 25-year stain and fade protection. The 25-year removal and replacement warranty is available on projects completed by a Deckorators Certified Pro, covering labor costs if a defect is found.
Deckorators Decking Design Options
Deckorators gives homeowners more design flexibility than most composite brands. We use these options to create Deckorators decks that feel custom and match the style of your home.
- Color Range: Deckorators offers warm browns, cool grays, and rich earth tones across its five lines. The Voyage collection alone includes six colors with streaked, variegated patterns that give each board a natural wood appearance.
- Multiple Board Widths: Voyage boards are available in several widths, which allows us to alternate wide and narrow planks for a floor-style pattern. This is one of the details that helps a Deckorators deck stand apart from a standard composite build.
- Board Profiles: Every Deckorators line is available in grooved-edge and solid-edge profiles. Grooved boards work with hidden fasteners for a clean, screw-free surface, while solid-edge boards are used for picture frames, stair treads, and visible deck edges.
- Coordinating Accessories: Deckorators offers matching fascia, riser boards, porch flooring, and picture frame boards. These components let us finish your deck with a consistent look from the surface to the trim.
Why Hire a Certified Deckorators Deck Builder
Proper Built holds both Deckorators Certified Pro and Deckorators Certified Elite status. Certification matters because it directly affects your warranty coverage and the quality of your Deckorators decking installation in Portland, OR.
- Full Warranty Access: The 25-year removal and replacement warranty on Deckorators decking is only available when a Certified Pro handles the installation. An uncertified Deckorators decking contractor in Portland, OR, cannot offer this coverage, which means homeowners lose a significant layer of protection.
- Factory-Direct Training: Deckorators Certified Pro installers complete hands-on training that covers proper joist spacing, fastener selection, thermal expansion management, and moisture control. This training is designed to prevent the installation mistakes that void warranties and shorten a deck’s lifespan.
- Certified Elite Recognition: Deckorators Certified Elite is the highest tier in the Certified Pro program, awarded annually based on volume, quality, growth, and partnership. Proper Built earned this status because of our consistent commitment to quality installation on every project.
- Permitting and Code Compliance: We handle permitting and inspections for every Deckorators decking installation in the Portland metro area. Your deck is built to meet local building codes from the first footing to the final board.
