Composite decking in Metro Detroit: what to expect

Composite and PVC decking trade the yearly staining of wood for boards that resist rot, splinters and fading. Most composite decks in Metro Detroit still sit on a pressure-treated wood frame, so the framing, footings and ledger matter as much as the boards on top. Resurfacing an old deck with composite is only worth it if that frame is sound.

Composite boards have their own rules: joist spacing that suits the product, hidden fasteners or color-matched screws, gaps for expansion and contraction through Michigan summers and winters, and venting underneath on low decks. Following the manufacturer's instructions keeps the warranty valid. For a full new build, see deck building, and for wood decks, deck staining.

What a proper job includes

  • A design and layout with board, rail and color choices
  • Inspection of any existing frame if resurfacing
  • Joist spacing that matches the decking manufacturer's requirements
  • Joist tape or flashing and a properly flashed ledger
  • Hidden fasteners or color-matched screws with correct gapping
  • Fascia, stairs and railing in a matching system
  • Permit, inspections and warranty registration

What drives the price

  • Deck size, height and shape
  • Board line: entry composite, capped composite or PVC
  • Railing system: composite, aluminum, cable or glass
  • Stairs, landings, picture framing and inlays
  • Condition of the existing frame on a resurface
  • Footing count and soil conditions
  • Removal and disposal of old decking

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Under the Michigan Residential Code, a deck is exempt from a building permit only if it is 200 square feet or less, no more than 30 inches above grade at any point, not attached to or within 36 inches of the house or its accessory structures, and does not serve a door. Nearly every attached deck needs a building permit and inspections from the local building department (BSEED in Detroit). Zoning setbacks and lot coverage also apply.

Footing holes require notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days before digging. Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license: a Residential Builder license, or a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license in a trade that fits the work. Check the number on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes

  1. Compare quotes on the same board line, railing and deck size.
  2. Ask whether the frame is new or reused and how the ledger is flashed.
  3. Confirm the joist spacing meets the decking manufacturer's spec.
  4. Confirm who pulls the building permit and schedules inspections.
  5. Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.

Common questions

Composite Decking FAQ

Sometimes. The frame needs to be structurally sound, and joists usually need to be at the spacing the composite maker requires. Many older frames need added joists or replacement.
Darker boards in full sun get warmer than wood. Lighter colors and some PVC and capped lines run cooler, so ask for samples to compare.
It needs no staining, but it still needs cleaning to prevent mildew and staining from leaves. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning guidance to keep the warranty.
Replacing boards alone is usually treated as a repair, but structural changes, new stairs or a new frame generally need a permit. Confirm with the local building department.
