Composite Decking and local data in Quincy
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in Quincy sees about 13 days a year at 90°F or above. Color can be chosen mostly on looks, though full-sun decks still run cooler in lighter tones.
About 84 wet days and 94 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 50.9 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
With 33% detached homes, many projects in Quincy re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
