This is a deck I built recently with some Newtech composite wood. I used the different colors to match the brick of the house. How do you guys like it?

I am not a big fan of it, but if the homeowner likes it, great job!

Very tough to look at a deck like that without furniture. It's very stark. If your going to use it for your portfolio, take another pic after it's furnished. With some white wicker on it, and plants and such, it could look great.

The carpentry part looks really good. thumbs up on that. The color is another story, a LITTLE TOO LOUD!! Maybe put some plants on there to tone it down a few decibles. I hope they dont get red mulch to match the deck, then a red lawnmower.....

I was trying something different with the mixing of the colors of composite decking, however I will tell them to get a red lawnmower and red shoes and red shirts too

I think your deck is really nice.

But if you take photos for your portfolio just make sure that everyone knows you dint do the brickwork. That is god awfull!

Don't forget to tell them to get a red hat as well for those hot Texas days!

Construction quality looks top notch. I wouldn't have a deck like that in my backyard though.

I keep getting requests for work like this and i turn it down or refer it to someone else but the way that turned out makes me want to expand my expertise...

Oh, that's very good joey.
I'm sure the homeowners will really like it.
Now, I wanted to have that deck on my backyard, too.
Great job joey!
