About Fiberon Decking
Fiberon Decking began in 1997, selling composite decking and decking features, and it has been perfecting its business since. The company has a history of being the first of many things, such as selling PVC composite railings, and it has achieved several accolades. Overall, customers and contractors alike have been satisfied with Fiberon decks, attesting to the product’s quality and generous warranties, among other benefits.
Alternative materials: Fiberon has replaced typical decking materials, such as wood, with both an ecologically friendly synthetic plastic, called PVC, and wood composite that is fade and stain resistant due to a PermaTech cap layer. Check out the decking lines below to learn which decking materials are protected by the PermaTech cap on three sides and which are protected on four sides.
Colors: Fiberon provides an impressive multi-tonal color palette that can be separated into four main color categories: gray, golden brown, classic brown, and reddish brown. There are twenty-one colors total.

Getting the Best Price
In the circumstance you have your deck professionally installed, here are a few helpful tips for achieving the most affordable price:
- Get written estimates from more than one deck contractor for a quote on the deck. Comparing quotes will allow you to navigate the best prices for the type of deck and deck features you are looking for.
- Let the deck contractors know you’re getting multiple quotes, so that they understand they are competing for work. This way, they will give you their best possible price.
- Hire based on cost and the experience and track record of the contractors. Choosing the cheapest estimate without first looking into the company’s quality of work can lead to buyer’s regret if the quality of the deck is lacking. In this case, the cheap price will feel nice at first, but the deck may not look up to your standards, and it may cost you more in the long run.
- For any who prefer DIY projects, Fiberon has provided some useful steps on how to begin the process. See this site for additional information.
Decks are Investments
Adding a deck to your house will increase the value of the house, presuming the deck is properly cared for.
According to the 2020 national Cost-vs-Value report from Remodeling Magazine, the resale value of a composite deck at 69%. In other words, if a Fiberon composite deck costs $21,000, you can expect the project to increase your home’s potential sale price by about $14,500. However, this also indicates that you will lose money on the house if you decide to sell it immediately following the deck’s construction.
Decks are investments, so if you decide to get a deck, be sure to enjoy it. But, if you sell your house at some point in the future, your Fiberon deck will certainly be an attractive feature.
