A deck should be where you can kick back, entertain friends, and enjoy the outdoors—without spending your weekends sanding, staining, or sealing. That’s why composite decking is a game-changer. It gives you the timeless beauty of wood without the constant upkeep, making it the perfect choice for homeowners who want a stunning, durable deck that practically takes care of itself.
At Farrar Construction, we don’t just build decks—we create outdoor spaces that fit your life. As the only TrexPro® Platinum builder in the North Bay, plus a TimberTech Member Pro and Diamond Certified contractor, we bring expertise, craftsmanship, and premium materials together to build a deck you’ll love for decades.
Where Composite Decks Make the Most Sense in the North Bay
The weather, terrain, and lifestyle in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties make composite decking a brilliant, long-lasting choice. Here’s why:
- In coastal and humid Areas (Bodega, Novato, Napa), Composite resists moisture, mold, and salt air better than traditional wood.
- Hillside Homes (Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Sebastopol) – Multi-level composite decks work beautifully on uneven terrain, providing stunning views.
- Vineyard & Wine Country Properties (Sonoma, Cloverdale, Napa Valley) – Composite’s rich wood tones complement the wine country’s scenery—with less upkeep than wood.
- Luxury Outdoor Living Spaces (Cotati, Penngrove, Petaluma) pair with outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and fire pits, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
- Family-Friendly Backyards (Everywhere!) – No splinters, rotting, or maintenance headaches—just safe, stylish, worry-free outdoor fun.
Expert Tip: Live near water or in a high-moisture area? MoistureShield composite decking is the only brand that can be installed directly on the ground or in water contact without damage.

Easy Maintenance & Care for Composite Decks
One of the most significant advantages of composite decking is its low upkeep. Unlike wood, it does not require sanding, staining, or sealing—just a little cleaning now and then to keep it looking its best.
How to Keep Your Composite Deck Looking Great
- Sweep Regularly – Prevent dirt, leaves, and debris from accumulating, especially between boards.
- Wash with Soap & Water – A simple mix of mild soap and water is all you need for routine cleaning.
- Use a Soft Brush for Deeper Cleaning – If dirt gets into the grain pattern, a soft-bristle brush helps lift it out.
- Check for drainage issues. Water should flow freely under and off your deck, so avoid pooling water.
- Remove Spills Quickly – While composite decking is stain-resistant, wiping up grease, oil, or food spills ASAP is always best.
What to Avoid
- No Pressure Washing Above 3100 PSI – Too much force can damage the board surface.
- No Oil-Based Stains or Paint – Composite is built to retain its color, so refinishing is unnecessary.
- No Harsh Chemicals – Skip bleach or solvent-based cleaners, which can weaken the deck’s protective coating.
Did You Know? Some composite decking brands, like MoistureShield and TimberTech, offer extra stain and fade resistance, making them even easier to maintain in high-traffic areas.
