Signs to watch

Is this you?

You want a name-brand composite you can look up

Trex is among the most established capped composite lines, which makes it easy to research colors, product families, and coverage before you commit — no mystery house brand.

You're done maintaining wood

If staining and sealing a wood deck every couple of summers has worn thin, Trex's capped shell trades that labor for a periodic wash-down in this wet climate.

Moss keeps colonizing the grain

Bare wood farms moss in the PNW. A capped composite surface gives moss far less to grip, so seasonal cleaning replaces the annual scrub-and-treat routine.

You want a coordinated finished look

Matching fascia, hidden fasteners, and integrated railing turn a deck from a platform into a finished outdoor room — and Trex's system parts are built to line up.

Your options

How we build a Trex deck

Trex offers capped composite in several product families and a broad range of colors and textures — the tiers differ in appearance, surface, and coverage, and we'll walk you through the current lineup and how each fits your budget and sun exposure rather than defaulting to one. We install with the hidden-fastener systems these boards are designed for, so the surface stays clean and screw-free, and we integrate matching fascia and railing for a finished edge. Like any capped composite, Trex can run warmer than wood in direct summer sun, so lighter colors and shade come into the conversation. Warranties are handled through the manufacturer and vary by product line — we'll point you to the current published coverage rather than quote a number from memory. And none of it lasts without the structure beneath: footings below frost line, ground-contact-rated framing at the joist spacing the boards require, and a flashed, bolted ledger. Trex decking is a real offering we install; it's a product line, and we're installers who build it to spec, not a franchise making certification claims.

The method

How we do it

  1. 01

    Product family, color, and shade review

    We walk you through Trex's current lines, colors, and textures against your budget and sun exposure — heat and traction matter in the PNW — and design the frame to carry the boards.

  2. 02

    Foundation and frame

    Footings inspected below frost line, framing in ground-contact-rated lumber at required joist spacing, and the ledger flashed and bolted like the roof detail it is.

  3. 03

    Deck, fascia, rails, walkthrough

    Boards set with the hidden-fastener system, fascia and railing integrated for a finished edge, a hose test on the ledger flashing, then a walk of the deck with you.

Straight numbers

What a Trex deck costs here

Trex is a premium capped composite, so it costs more up front than wood — the boards carry a premium and correct framing to hold them is part of the number. What moves it: the product family you choose, square footage, height and access, railing and fascia, and stairs. The trade is maintenance you skip for years afterward. We price a Trex build honestly against wood and other composites so you're comparing true long-run cost, not just day one.

Where we do this work

Trex Decking: straight answers

What makes Trex different from wood decking?

Trex is capped composite — a wood-and-plastic core wrapped in a hard polymer shell — rather than solid lumber. That cap is what resists moisture, staining, splintering, and the moss that colonizes wood grain here, which is why the maintenance drops to periodic cleaning instead of sanding and sealing.

Does Trex come with a warranty?

Trex products carry manufacturer warranties that vary by product line, and coverage terms are published and updated by the manufacturer. We'll point you to the current warranty for the specific line you choose rather than quote a figure that may be out of date — the honest way to handle it.

Where does Trex work best?

It shines on decks where you want low maintenance and long life — most PNW residential decks qualify. On a south-facing deck in full summer sun, we'll steer you toward lighter colors or shade, since capped composite runs warmer than wood. Sun exposure drives the color call more than anything.

Do you install the matching railing and fascia?

Yes — hidden fasteners keep the deck surface clean, and integrated fascia and railing finish the edges and stairs into one coordinated look. Building the system as a whole is the difference between a platform and a finished outdoor room.
