We offer comprehensive warranties to ensure your peace of mind.

This upgrade is beneficial for homeowners, as it can result in insurance premium breaks for 80-85% of our customers. Additionally, we provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on all installation and replacement services, demonstrating our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Please note that we do not offer warranties on repairs.

As soon as someone calls, we assign a field representative to be there within 24 hours (depending on your availability of course!)
What is the best material for a deck?
The best material for your deck depends on your priorities—whether it’s budget, maintenance, or durability. Wood decks offer natural beauty and are more budget-friendly upfront but require regular maintenance. Composite decks, like Trex®, are low-maintenance and highly durable but come with a higher initial cost.
How long does a wood deck last?
With proper care and maintenance, a wood deck can last between 15 to 20 years or more. Regular staining, sealing, and cleaning help protect the wood from rot, mold, and other damage, ensuring the deck’s longevity.
Can I customize my deck design?
Absolutely! At Home Front Exteriors, we specialize in creating custom-built decks tailored to your specific needs and style. Whether you want built-in seating, unique railings, or a personalized layout, we can bring your vision to life.
How do I know which deck material is right for me?
Choosing the right decking material depends on your preferences for maintenance, aesthetics, budget, and durability. Our team at Home Front Exteriors is happy to help you choose the best material based on your needs and lifestyle.
