Quality Decking Materials

The right decking not only looks great but also withstands Iowa’s weather, resists wear, and fits your family’s lifestyle.

At Suburban Lumber, we stock a wide variety of decking materials ready for pickup. Our team is here to help you compare options, understand installation needs, and find the best fit for your project.

PVC Decking

PVC decking is our top recommendation for long-lasting performance and low maintenance. We stock AZEK® by TimberTech, an advanced PVC decking option that resists fading, staining, and moisture — perfect for homeowners who want a deck that looks beautiful year after year with minimal upkeep.

We stock the following colors: Brownstone, Slate Gray, American Walnut®, and Castle Gate™.

Note: We can special-order any AZEK by TimberTech options upon request.

Composite Decking

Composite decking combines the beauty of natural wood with the strength and convenience of modern materials. We offer two leading options — Trex® and Deckorators® — each designed to meet different performance and aesthetic needs.

Trex composite decking features a wood fiber core for a traditional look and dependable durability.

We stock the following colors: Trex Select Pebble Gray and Select Saddle

Note: We can special-order any Trex products upon request.

Deckorators (Surestone™) decking is a mineral-based composite that offers unmatched traction and reduced heat retention — ideal for families, pets, and poolside spaces.

We stock the following colors: Voyage Khaya, Sierra, and Dark Slate

Note: We can special-order any Deckorators® options upon request.

Traditional Lumber

Traditional lumber remains a reliable, cost-effective option for many decks — particularly for spec homes or homeowners looking for a budget-friendly solution.

We stock treated lumber and Cedar lumber.

Railing Options

We carry several railing systems to complement your decking project, but we recommend Westbury® Aluminum Railing. Its sleek design, superior powder-coated finish, and easy installation make it our top choice.

We stock the following colors: Tuscany C10 in Black (fine texture) and White (fine texture).

Note: Gloss options and other finishes are available by special order.

We recently bought several doors here. We appreciate that Dave took the time with me to make sure all of the measurements were accurate so our doors would fit properly. We have an old house being repaired after major storm damage, so the door openings are not standard sizes. He is very knowledgeable, gave a few suggestions, and ordered exactly what we wanted.

Most lumber companies, send us what we call a guesstimate, ( approx. value of what things might cost). This leads to cost overruns in almost every case. Suburban sends us a true ESTIMATE. A true take off is performed, thus leading to True costs. I can never recall where we had cost overruns when working with Suburban.

All of the treated joist were straight which enhanced the look of the finished project. The project required many different lengths of joists and beams. I followed the layout that was provided and it was accurate and saved me a lot of time. I can't say enough good things about Suburban Lumber and it was a pleasure to work with John.

I just wanted to pass along some praise for Erin Gustafson. We're building a house through Chad Mellinger and she was awesome to work with. Super knowledgeable and really took the time to listen to us and provide options. Great employees are hard to find and she's one.
