Egypt & Mike’s multi-purpose outdoor space
As both industry professionals and parents, HGTV hosts Egypt and Mike love the beauty and durability of TimberTech.
For Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson, hosts of HGTV’s Married to Real Estate, TimberTech Decking and Railing tick all the boxes. In their nearly 50 collective years of building, design, and real estate experience, they’ve seen a lot — what works, what doesn’t, what sells, and what lasts. So, for them, replacing their wood deck with TimberTech was an easy decision.

Meet Egypt & Mike
Atlanta, GA
HGTV hosts Egypt and Mike aren’t just married to real estate, they’re married to each other and have three kids — so their deck gets a lot of use. Whether they’re working out, working from home, having a spades tournament, or hosting a “tween-ager’s” birthday party, they know their TimberTech deck can handle it all beautifully.

When they decided to replace their wood deck with TimberTech, Egypt and Mike worried about being able to match the color of their home — but not for long. Our range of real wood looks blew them away and they chose TimberTech Advanced PVC in American Walnut® from the Landmark Collection®, with Classic Composite Series Drink Rail in Matte Espresso. “With TimberTech, you have so many choices and colors,” said Egypt, “you can really create the custom deck of your dreams.”

“TimberTech looks more like wood than wood,” raved Egypt. “Honestly, it’s prettier and it lasts longer.”

While we offer a wide range of beautiful decking colors to choose from, they’re not the only way to customize. “Let’s talk about TimberTech Railing. Not only is it easy to install,” said Mike, “you have so many options — rail styles, infills like cable, glass, and balusters, drink rails and more.” Egypt agrees, “You can mix and match and there’s something for every aesthetic.”

As a builder and contractor, Mike appreciates how easy TimberTech Decking and Railing are to work with and install — all without needing special tools.

Egypt and Mike rest easy knowing their TimberTech deck is engineered to last. “It’s kid proof, weather resistant, and UV resistant. It’s the only answer, for the Jackson family, as far as decking.”

With their wood deck, Mike was sanding, staining, or replacing boards at least once a year. “I just got tired of it,” said Mike. “So we put the TimberTech in and we haven’t had any issues since.”
I don’t know why anyone would choose wood over TimberTech. The longevity, the durability — it’s just a no-brainer.

TimberTech’s sustainability is a feel-good benefit not just for Egypt and Mike, but for their clients as well. “It’s made of recycled materials — things that would wind up in our oceans or landfills,” said Egypt. “They found a way to repurpose those materials with purpose.”

For Egypt, a little fresh air makes answering emails go a lot easier and her TimberTech deck is a favorite place to work.
