What's this?

Yes, love it!! (inside)

Redid mine ~4 years ago.
Job with Trex was quoted as between 1.5x-2x the price of job with just pressure-treated lumber.
Hard to say what the final cost difference was because I went with a different guy who only quoted me the Trex price. Also, I only put Trex on the surface and top of rails, and top of steps - I didn't replace vertical PT boards since in good shape and most concerned about surface boards.

No issues since work was done - looks great - zero maintenance is best part - no power washing/staining ever few years.

Anyone have a trex deck ? -- astrohokie 10/20/2021 1:24PM

Our pressure treated wood deck has last 34 years and is still in good shape -- Galenahokie 10/21/2021 07:17AM

I think you need more joists. It's not as strong as real wood ** -- HokieDan95 10/20/2021 10:06PM

Only drawback, it's hot as hell.... -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/20/2021 8:20PM

I put down Fiberon composite decking and railings about 5 years ago -- MAHokie69 10/20/2021 4:18PM

Yep, we have Trex. It does stain and you do have to do some maintenance. ** -- UTPr0sim 10/20/2021 3:57PM

I just used Trex for my steps (couldn't afford the whole deck) and cleaning -- 3011Cochrane 10/20/2021 2:52PM

I'm an adult. Trex are for kids. -- PhotoHokieNC 10/20/2021 2:52PM

Very true. Liam Neeson found out the hard way... link -- HokieDan95 10/20/2021 7:05PM

I definitely recommend trex. We’ve had ours for about 6 years. Still looks -- RoswellGAHokie 10/20/2021 2:47PM

On a similar note my parents used Deckover paint on their wooden deck -- HokieDan95 10/20/2021 2:37PM

Deckover success -- 132578Hokie 10/20/2021 4:59PM

I do, just put it in this spring -- GoobyPls 10/20/2021 2:36PM

I have trek balcony. If you do brown they tend to fade in sunlight. ** -- jdkhokie 10/20/2021 2:22PM

Just built one with a buddy. Looks sharp. ** -- Stork 10/20/2021 2:00PM

Wouldn't mind picking your brain on the construction. -- EDGEMAN 10/20/2021 4:00PM

Those friggin hidden clips are a pain in the butt. ** -- Stork 10/20/2021 4:26PM

More interested in how you did your footers, and the structure... -- EDGEMAN 10/20/2021 4:27PM

That's my buddy's expertise. He's a general contractor/builder. -- Stork 10/20/2021 4:36PM

I HAD one that we installed for my house in Connecticut. It would be a -- Late 80s Hokie 10/20/2021 1:57PM

Swelling issues with decking are usually a result of bad installation. -- vthokieq 10/20/2021 2:11PM

Yep, love my Trex deck too. Railings are expensive and short on colors -- pburg_hokie 10/20/2021 1:52PM

Had it added when we built ours. W/in a year, all our neighbors updated too ** -- riosvt 10/20/2021 1:49PM

Mine is about 3 years old and looks as good as when it was installed -- No Clue 10/20/2021 1:43PM

We have a Wolf deck. Three years in, and it still looks great. -- Guy LeDouche 10/20/2021 1:42PM

We have Trex on both our back deck and our side covered porch . . . -- HokieKip 10/20/2021 1:40PM

Get a lighter color or your feet will burn off in the Summer ** -- Happy Dog 10/20/2021 1:32PM

You can say that again! ** -- EDGEMAN 10/20/2021 1:33PM

I'm thinking about doing that too. -- EDGEMAN 10/20/2021 1:31PM
