Value Comparison: Trex Composite Decks Versus Wood Decks

Felice Decks proudly recommends Trex composite decks for all our customers in the Richmond, Virginia area. A deck made of Trex composite decking materials gives you beauty and durability with very low maintenance.  Trex decking will give you decades of use and the only maintenance includes washing with soap and water as needed. It doesn't get any easier than that!

Using a high-quality Trex composite deck material provides clear cost advantages over wood decks.

WOOD

• Requires high maintenance – needs to be painted, stained, or sealed frequently
• Warps from rain and sun
• Splits and cracks
• Rots over time in excessive wet conditions
• Wood decks are more prone to mold
• Require nail or screws which can rust and discolor the wood
• Termites can destroy the wood
• Fade over time and require re-staining and sealing to maintain their beauty
• Require new trees to be cut down, contributing to deforestation

A Trex composite deck gives you better value for your dollar. You pay a little more upfront for your composite deck, but over the life of the deck, you save money and time on maintenance costs. A Trex composite deck also lasts longer than a wood deck, further reducing your cost over time.
