Cedar vs. pressure-treated

Both are great choices for the right project:

  • Pressure-treated pine — the budget choice; 10–15 years with sealing
  • Cedar — naturally rot-resistant, warm tone; 15–20 years
  • Either can be stained to your color and re-coated over time

Plan for upkeep

Wood needs cleaning and re-sealing every 1–3 years in NJ's climate — we offer staining & sealing to keep it protected. Prefer zero maintenance? Consider composite. Compare lifespans in the decking materials guide.
