When planning a new deck, many homeowners begin their research online. While browsing photos and product descriptions can be helpful, it often leaves important questions unanswered — especially when it’s time to make final decisions. That’s where attending a decking open house can make a real difference.

At Bolyard Lumber & Design, our decking open houses are designed to help homeowners move from inspiration to confident decisions.


See Decking Materials in Person

Decking materials can look very different in real life than they do online. Color, texture, grain pattern, and finish are difficult to judge on a screen. At a decking open house, you can view full-size decking boards, railing systems, and accessories side by side — helping you choose materials that truly fit your home and style.

Promotional materials, branded tables with TimberTech and AZEK logos, and a screen showing a deck installation are visible in the professional trade-style setting.

Get Expert Guidance Before You Buy

One of the biggest advantages of attending a decking open house is access to knowledgeable professionals. Bolyard’s team is available to answer questions about material performance, maintenance, and design considerations — helping you avoid costly mistakes before your project begins.


Learn What Works Best in Michigan Weather

Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, snow, and summer sun can be tough on outdoor materials. At an open house, you’ll learn which decking options are designed to handle local conditions and deliver long-term durability with less maintenance.


Compare Options and Plan with Confidence

Rather than jumping between multiple websites, a decking open house allows you to compare options in one place. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of pricing, lead times, and available styles — helping you plan your project more efficiently.


“When homeowners can see materials in person and ask questions upfront, they make better decisions and avoid surprises later,” says Jason Vallus, Deck Sales at Bolyard Lumber & Design.
