What Makes Cellular PVC Different
Hunt Home Remodeling brings 28 years of outdoor framing and construction experience to backyards across Elkhorn. Nebraska weather takes a heavy toll on traditional wood decks. Between ninety-degree July sun and sub-zero winter freezes, natural timber eventually warps, splits, or rots. That is why we specialize in PVC deck construction, giving you an outdoor space that stays straight, solid, and clean for decades without constant weekend upkeep.
Building durable outdoor structures around Elkhorn, NE requires selecting materials specifically engineered to withstand severe regional moisture and heavy ground movement. Unlike traditional pressure-treated lumber or early-generation composite decking, 100% cellular PVC contains absolutely zero wood fiber or organic fillers. Water simply cannot penetrate its durable outer shell. That means no destructive mold creeping into the boards, no swollen or warped edges after torrential spring rains, and no painful splinters when walking around barefoot during hot summer afternoons. Cellular PVC maintains exceptional dimensional stability through eastern Nebraska’s extreme annual temperature swings, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy winter snow accumulation. Underneath, we construct a heavily reinforced pressure-treated framing system secured into deep concrete footings to prevent unwanted site shifting. On top, precision hidden fastener systems create a flawless, low-maintenance walking surface built to retain its strength, color, and structural integrity for decades without annual staining or sealing.
Built to Handle Heavy Wear and Local Weather
The biggest reason homeowners around Elkhorn, NE switch to synthetic decking comes down to maintenance, or rather, the lack of it. Traditional cedar or pressure-treated pine structures demand annual power washing, sanding, and fresh staining just to prevent graying, warping, and splintering from severe freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snowpack.
Simplified Surface Maintenance
Natural wood decks require continuous sanding, sealing, and repainting just to keep boards from deteriorating. Solid PVC decking completely eliminates this tedious chore, requiring only an occasional wash to remain in peak condition year-round.
Exceptional Stain Resistance
Spilling grease from the grill, dropping red wine, or tracking thick mud across your deck will not ruin the surface. Non-porous PVC material prevents stubborn stains from setting in, allowing simple cleanups with dish soap and water.
Superior Thermal Performance
Modern cellular PVC decking is engineered to stay noticeably cooler underfoot than older synthetic alternatives. This temperature regulation ensures a comfortable walking surface for barefoot use even during intense July heatwaves and sunny summer afternoons.
All-Weather Structural Protection
By completely repelling moisture, high-performance PVC deck boards protect your outdoor living area against rot, warping, and seasonal wear. They offer reliable long-term durability that stands up to severe climate swings without breaking down over time.

What goes under a Hunt deck
The parts you will never see decide how long a deck lasts. This is how we build every deck in Elkhorn, NE.
- 1
Footings
Concrete footings dug below the frost line, so the frame does not heave when the ground freezes.
- 2
Framing
Pressure-treated joists at 12 or 16 inches on center, squared, blocked and sized for the load.
- 3
Ledger and flashing
The ledger is fastened to the house and flashed, and the joists are taped, so water stays out of the wood.
- 4
Decking
Composite, PVC or wood boards on hidden fasteners, so the surface has no rows of screw heads.
- 5
Railing and stairs
Aluminum, composite or wood railings and stairs built to code and anchored to the frame.

What Your Neighbors Say
Twenty-eight years of honest communication, clean job sites, and solid framing have built our reputation in Douglas County. Read what local property owners have to say about working with Hunt Home Remodeling.
“Loved my experience with the company. Honest, timely, thorough, excellent. Worked with my budget, the team was friendly with my kids the whole time…I can’t say enough.”
“Far and away the most professional, dedicated contractor I've ever worked with. Our deck was installed over three years ago and we had some issues recently with the support beams causing some warping. Not an install or product issue, but Hunt came out with a full crew, pulled up planks and spent the entire day planing and leveling support beams. And at no cost to us. Cannot recommend more highly.”
“Very professional, hard working, and best prices in Omaha. If you want something done right you hire HHR!”
Questions Homeowners Ask Us
Not covered here? Ask us directly. We answer the phone.
Call (402) 885-0738How long does construction usually take?
Most standard residential projects take three to seven working days once active framing starts. Larger builds, especially those with custom stair runs, built-in seating, multi-level platforms, or integrated step lighting, take a bit longer. A complete schedule is established before any material lands in your driveway.
What drives the overall cost of a build?
Total cost comes down to square footage, elevation off the ground, frame complexity, and hardware choices. While cellular synthetic boards cost more upfront than basic treated pine, eliminating annual power washing, staining, and board repairs saves substantial money over the lifespan of the deck.
Composite vs. PVC: What's the actual difference?
Composite boards mix recycled plastic with fine wood sawdust. Cellular PVC decking is entirely plastic with zero organic wood material inside. Because composite still contains wood fibers, damp conditions can eventually cause internal swelling if water finds a way past the outer cap. PVC cannot absorb water, making it completely immune to internal rot and mold.
What kind of maintenance does a synthetic deck need?
Sweep away dry leaves and lawn debris occasionally. Once or twice a season, scrub the floor with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristle broom, then hose it down. There is no need for chemical strippers, sanding tools, or seasonal sealants.
What colors and design upgrades are available?
Boards come in a wide range of realistic wood-grain textures, warm earth tones, cool slate grays, and dark walnut hues. Custom upgrades include picture-frame borders, cocktail top rails, drink ledges, hidden LED step lights, and privacy screens. Physical samples are brought directly to your home so you can see how colors match your house siding.
Do you work in my neighborhood in Elkhorn?
Yes. Hunt Home Remodeling serves property owners throughout Elkhorn, NE, and nearby Douglas County communities. All local building codes, HOA guidelines, and municipal inspections are handled entirely by our team.
Can PVC handle hard winter freeze-thaw cycles?
Cellular PVC performs exceptionally well in cold weather because it does not absorb moisture. Water cannot get inside the board to freeze and expand, which prevents splitting and surface cracking. Snow can be cleared using a standard plastic shovel, and surface ice can be melted with safe calcium chloride products without damaging the outer finish.
What kind of warranty coverage comes with the build?
Projects carry double protection: manufacturer material coverage and our own labor guarantee. The PVC decking lines we install come with 25-to-50-year limited warranties covering structural integrity, stain resistance, and color fading. On top of that, Hunt Home Remodeling guarantees the structural framing and craftsmanship.
