Why does my composite deck make loud ‘cracking’ sounds in the winter?
I don't know the brand of decking as we just bought the house and this is our first winter here. The composite material used in our deck makes loud cracking sounds, like a rifle shot, when the temp is below zero. This happens with no set frequency - sometimes twice an hour for a few hours, or maybe not at all for a whole day. What is causing this, and more importantly, is this affecting the soundness of the deck? What can we do to fix this? Thank you!

What is the best way to approach a contractor to finish up and likely re-do some of the things that weren't done properly (drywall, some flooring, trim, etc.?)
