Decking Material(s)

Once again, take a look at your plans: If you have a deck, balcony or porch, what type of material are specified? Wood, composite, tile, concrete, vinyl membrane, etc.? 

Go online and search for a manufacturer (and check out our product recommendations!). Determine or narrow down a couple of colors, stains or pigments. Find a store that carries the product and has sample you can take home, or have the manufacturer deliver you a sample so you can see it in person (charges may apply). 

The same goes for any patios. Are you doing clay bricks, concrete, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, tile, pavers, flagstone, gravel, etc.
