Common Questions

Composite Dock Decking FAQ

Yes — composite and PVC decking products are an excellent choice for Florida saltwater docks. They resist moisture, saltwater, mold, and mildew better than wood, never splinter, and can last 25–40 years with minimal maintenance. Marine-grade products like WearDeck are specifically engineered for submerged and splash-zone applications. See our full saltwater dock materials guide.

WearDeck is generally considered the top performer for saltwater docks — it's the only major brand specifically engineered for marine applications. Trex Transcend and TimberTech AZEK are also excellent options with strong track records in Florida's coastal environment. All three outperform wood in saltwater longevity, but WearDeck has the most robust marine warranty.

Yes — if your dock's pilings and framing are structurally sound, you can replace just the decking surface. This is called a dock resurfacing project and is significantly less expensive than a full replacement. A licensed contractor will inspect the substructure during the free estimate to determine if any framing needs addressing at the same time, or if the pilings support a resurfacing-only project.
