Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we love building with Deckorators?

Because it gives us the ability to build decks at a higher level—structurally, visually, and functionally. With options like Surestone® for superior strength and slip resistance, multi-width boards for custom patterns and a truly elevated design, and a wide range of rich, realistic color options, it allows us to create spaces that are as unique as the homes they’re built for. The material performs exceptionally in Utah’s climate, maintaining its stability and clean lines while reducing the issues you see with traditional decking. It’s not just about using a product—it’s about having the flexibility to design and build something better, and delivering a finished product that stands out and lasts

What are your most recommended add-ons for a deck?

Joist Butyl Tape is always recommended because it protects the wooden substructure of a deck by preventing moisture penetration through its adhesive seal, effectively stopping wood rot by sealing around screws and fasteners, and offering benefits like superior adhesion, temperature resistance, and ease of installation.

Is Deckorators Surestone® worth the investment?

In short—yes. Deckorators Surestone® stands out as a premium mineral-based composite decking designed for homeowners who want long-term performance without the headaches of wood or lower-grade composites. Its advanced construction delivers superior strength, minimal expansion and contraction, and exceptional resistance to moisture, rot, and insects—making it especially well-suited for Utah’s climate swings. The result is a cleaner, more stable finished deck that holds its look over time, stays more comfortable underfoot in the heat, and requires very little maintenance. While the initial investment is higher, the durability, longevity, and overall finish make Surestone® a smart, high-value choice for anyone serious about building a deck that lasts.
