Is a Cedar Deck Right for You? Lifestyle Questions to Ask First Cedar is a “feel” material. If you’re meeting deck contractors in Lake Oswego OR, ask to stand barefoot on a sample in the sun and in the shade - because comfort is the real selling point. In projects where LGC Remodeling was involved, cedar suited homeowners who wanted natural warmth and didn’t mind a little routine care. Ask yourself: • Do you actually use the deck on normal weekdays, not just special days? • Are you okay with small dents and scratches that make wood look lived-in? • Will you clean it and re-seal when needed, instead of waiting for problems? Cedar stays pleasant underfoot and looks great with minimal “design.” But it can stain in heavy shade, and neglect shows faster than with many composites. If low-effort is your top priority, cedar may annoy you. A good decision is exposure-based: sun, tree cover, and how wet the surface stays. Before choosing boards, ask deck construction contractors what maintenance schedule matches your yard and traffic. https://lgcremodeling.com/
