Need Builder for Deck

My parents back deck made of wood is starting to crumble after 25 years and I've finally convinced them to replace it. It is pretty large - at least 12x25 feet, raised off the ground by about 5 feet.

Anyone have recommendations on a reputable builder who would take this project on?

I don't have any recommendations for this project scope, but if you're on Facebook I find success asking neighborhood groups for referrals. From there I'll get quotes from a handful of them before making a decision.

This approach will be very neighborhood dependent but it feels more reliable than searching on Google and finding some SEO-optimized lead capture site.

What kind of deck are you leaning towards? Some sort of composite or wood?

Probably need quotes for both to see the difference. Their current deck is treated wood, but with lumber prices, I have no idea what the costs is now.
