Living by the water or relaxing in your dream backyard should be pure bliss—not constant upkeep. That’s where composite decks and docks shine. Unlike traditional wood, composite materials are built to withstand Florida’s tough climate, easily resisting warping, fading, and rot.
At Summertime Deck & Dock, we pair precision craftsmanship with top-of-the-line composite materials to create outdoor spaces that are as stunning as they are durable. Whether it’s a sprawling deck for sunset dinners or a custom dock for effortless water access, we’ll design a solution that elevates your property and your lifestyle.
Why Choose Composite Materials for Docks and Decks?
Composite materials are a game-changer when it comes to creating outdoor spaces that thrive in Central Florida’s challenging climate. Designed to reduce heat retention, they offer a more comfortable surface underfoot, even on the sunniest Florida afternoons. They also offer lasting beauty with minimal upkeep. Here’s why composite decks and docks are the perfect fit for your waterfront or backyard retreat:
- Weather-Resistant Wonder: Florida’s blazing sun, humidity, and sudden storms are tough on traditional wood, but composite materials? They’re built to last. No warping, rotting, or splintering.
- Low-Maintenance Living: Say goodbye to sanding, staining, and sealing. Composite decks and docks keep their color and finish with barely any effort.
- Built to Last: Engineered for durability, composite materials resist mold, mildew, and pesky insects. Plus, their fade-resistant technology keeps your space looking fresh and vibrant.
- Eco-Friendly Choice: Crafted from recycled wood fibers and plastics, composite materials are as sustainable as they are strong.
- Style That Stuns: From sleek, modern finishes to natural woodgrain textures, composite decking comes in various colors and styles to suit your home.

Composite decks and docks are the go-to solution for homeowners who want to enjoy their slice of paradise—without the constant upkeep.
- Lakeside Living: Composite decks and docks create the perfect spot to soak in the lake life. Built to handle fluctuating water levels and Florida’s unpredictable weather, their durable, weather-resistant surfaces ensure your space stays beautiful year after year.

Wherever your waterfront takes you, Summertime Deck & Dock designs and builds composite decks and docks that elevate your outdoor living—crafted to thrive in Florida’s toughest conditions and tailored to your unique vision.
Wood vs. Composite Materials
Choosing the right dock or deck material comes down to durability, maintenance, and long-term value:
- Durability: Wood can warp, rot, and splinter in Florida’s heat and humidity, requiring ongoing repairs. Composite materials are designed to resist the elements, staying strong and beautiful for decades.
- Maintenance: Wood demands regular sanding, staining, and sealing to protect its appearance. Composite decking stays pristine with just a quick rinse or gentle cleaning a few times a year.
- Lifespan: With proper care, wood decks last around 10-15 years before major repairs or replacement are needed. Composite decking can easily last 25-30 years with minimal upkeep.
- Cost: While wood has a lower upfront cost, the ongoing expenses of maintenance and repairs add up. Composite decking offers better long-term value thanks to its durability and low maintenance needs.
