Trex provides high-quality composite decking materials. A little soap and water or power wash are all you'll need to do to maintain your new outdoor gathering space. Your deck will keep its beauty for many years when you choose Trex materials.
Trex composite decking is low maintenance, won’t rot and is not susceptible to structural damage from insects. You won’t have to worry about safety hazards as your deck ages because you won’t experience rotting, splinters or warped boards. Plus, thanks to its outstanding finish, it won’t fade or stain.
The cost of building a deck varies based on the materials you choose and the size of your deck. Generally, decks cost $30-$60 per square foot. Based on this estimate, most decks range in price from $4,000 to $11,000. It’s best to request a quote from some local contractors to get more information on actual deck costs based on your goals.
Both vinyl and composite decking are artificial materials, which means they don’t rot like wood decks. This means that they are generally lower maintenance for the homeowner. Composite decking looks a lot like real wood but doesn’t require painting or staining. It won’t rot or mold and has a long lifespan. The one setback is that it does scratch somewhat easily and shows sun fade. Vinyl tends to have all the same benefits as composite decking but without fading and scratching issues. The major setback to this decking material is that it is the most expensive option on the market.
Composite decking resists warping, rot, mold and more, making it the most durable decking material. And it’s low maintenance, meaning you can just brush it off each spring and scrub it from time to time to keep it looking great.
Wood decks generally last 10 to 15 years depending on how well the homeowner maintains the deck. Wood requires regular treatments to prevent rotting and mold from taking over and destroying the deck. This is why many people now favor composite decks over wood because they’re lower maintenance and tend to have a longer lifespan.
Adding a deck to your home is no small undertaking or expense. So is it worth it when looking at the resale value of your home? Generally, decks do increase the value of your home and can return up to 100% of your investment.
