Common Questions in Winter Garden
Get answers to frequently asked questions about deck and dock construction
For Florida's humid, subtropical climate, composite decking and pressure-treated pine are the most popular choices, each with distinct advantages.
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, AZEK):
- Best for: Low maintenance and longevity
- Won't rot, warp, or splinter
- Resistant to moisture, insects, and UV damage
- 25-30 year lifespan with minimal upkeep
- Higher upfront cost ($35-70/sq ft)
Pressure-treated pine:
- Best for: Budget-conscious projects
- Naturally resistant to rot and insects when treated
- Requires regular staining/sealing (every 2-3 years)
- 15-20 year lifespan with proper maintenance
- Lower initial cost ($25-50/sq ft)
Avoid untreated wood or non-marine-grade materials in Florida's climate.
While DIY deck building is possible, hiring a professional is recommended in Florida due to strict building codes, permitting requirements, and climate-specific construction challenges.
Consider professional installation if:
- Your deck is attached to your home (requires structural engineering)
- The deck is elevated more than 30 inches
- You're unfamiliar with Florida Building Code requirements
- The project involves complex features (stairs, multiple levels, built-ins)
- You need permits and inspections
DIY may work for:
- Small, ground-level platforms
- Simple designs without railings or stairs
- If you have carpentry experience and understand local codes
Remember: Improperly built decks can fail inspections, void insurance, reduce home value, and create safety hazards. Professional builders carry insurance and warranties.
In Florida's humid climate with abundant algae and mildew growth, docks should be pressure washed 2-4 times per year depending on environmental conditions.
Recommended frequency:
- Every 3 months (4x/year): Docks in brackish/saltwater or heavy shade
- Every 4-6 months (2-3x/year): Freshwater docks in full sun
- As needed: After storms, high pollen seasons, or visible buildup
Pressure washing benefits:
- Removes algae, mildew, and slippery biofilm
- Prevents wood rot and extends dock life
- Maintains safe, non-slip surfaces
- Improves appearance and curb appeal
Use 1500-2000 PSI for composite docks, 2500-3000 PSI for wood. Always spray in the direction of the wood grain and avoid gouging the surface.
