The Hidden Cost of Traditional Wood Decks
When homeowners start planning a new deck, many focus only on the initial installation price.
But experienced homeowners know the true cost of a deck isn't determined on the day it's built, it's determined over the next 10, 20, or even 30 years.
That's why more homeowners throughout Perrysburg, Toledo, Maumee, Sylvania, Bowling Green, and Northwest Ohio - Southeast Michigan are choosing Armadillo Evolution Composite Decking installed by ABC Windows And More.
While traditional wood may appear less expensive upfront, the long-term costs of staining, sealing, repairs, board replacement, and ongoing maintenance can quickly add up. Composite decking offers a smarter approach: spend less time maintaining your deck and more time enjoying it.
Why Composite Decking Is Often More Economical Than Wood
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that composite decking frequently costs less over its lifetime than a traditional wood deck.
Consider the ongoing expenses associated with wood decking:
- Annual or biannual staining
- Sealing and waterproofing
- Board replacement
- Splinter repairs
- Rot damage
- Insect damage
- Surface sanding
- Labor costs for maintenance
With premium composite decking, many of these expenses simply disappear.
Armadillo Evolution Composite Decking is engineered to resist rot, splintering, weathering, and many of the issues that commonly affect wood decks over time. Unlike traditional lumber, composite decking requires minimal upkeep while maintaining its appearance year after year.
The Armadillo Evolution Advantage
Not all composite decking products are created equal.
Armadillo Evolution Composite Decking has become one of the fastest-growing choices among professional deck builders throughout North America because of its unique combination of affordability, durability, and beauty.
Homeowners appreciate Armadillo Evolution because it offers:
- Exceptional long-term value
- Beautiful wood-inspired finishes
- Low maintenance ownership
- Fade-resistant protection
- Moisture-resistant construction
- American manufacturing
- Industry-leading warranty protection
For families looking to maximize their outdoor living investment, these benefits create tremendous value over time.
A 50-Year Warranty Changes Everything
One of the biggest reasons Armadillo Evolution stands out is its Golden Promise Warranty.
The Evolution line includes a 50-Year Non-Prorated Warranty for residential applications. Unlike many warranties that decrease in value as years pass, Armadillo's coverage remains consistent throughout the warranty period. The company also provides labor coverage during the first five years for qualifying warranty claims.
When evaluating the true cost of ownership, warranty protection becomes a major factor.
A deck that is designed and warrantied to perform for decades can significantly reduce future replacement and repair concerns.
Proudly Made In America
Today's homeowners increasingly want products manufactured in the United States.
Every Armadillo Evolution board is produced in Paynesville, Minnesota using American manufacturing standards and craftsmanship. The company also utilizes recycled materials in its manufacturing process, making it an environmentally conscious choice for many homeowners.
Built For Real Ohio Weather
Anyone who has lived in Northwest Ohio knows how demanding the weather can be.
Decks must endure:
- Heavy rain
- Snow and ice
- Temperature swings
- UV exposure
- Seasonal moisture
These environmental factors often accelerate deterioration in traditional wood decking.
Armadillo Evolution features protective wrapping technology and durable composite construction designed to help resist moisture intrusion, weather-related wear, and long-term deterioration.
For Ohio homeowners, durability isn't just a luxury - it is a NECESSITY.
Design Your Dream Deck Before Construction Begins
One of the most exciting aspects of modern composite decking is the ability to visualize your project before installation begins.
