Trex: The Name Homeowners Ask For.
Trex practically invented modern composite decking, and it is still the brand San Diego homeowners request by name. Every board is capped with a tough polymer shell that resists fading, staining and scratching, and the lineup — from value-priced Enhance to richly grained Select to premium Transcend — comes in colors that mimic tropical hardwoods and coastal driftwood alike.
Trex is engineered for our climate. Trex won't rot, warp or splinter, it stands up to coastal salt air and UV, and it never needs sanding, staining or sealing — just an occasional wash. As a certified TrexPro installer, we build to Trex's exact specifications so your deck earns the full 25-to-50-year manufacturer warranty on top of ours.

How Trex Decking Compares
See where Trex capped composite lands next to wood, PVC and hardwood on look, durability and upkeep.
| Material | Look | Durability | Maintenance | Price tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Classic, paintable | Good | High (seal yearly) | Budget |
| Redwood / Cedar | Warm, natural grain | Very good | Medium | Standard |
| Trex Composite | Wood-look, many colors | Excellent | Very low | Standard |
| PVC (Azek) | Modern, uniform | Excellent | Lowest | Premium |
| IPE Hardwood | Rich, dense, luxe | Outstanding | Medium (oil) | Premium |
Trex capped composite gives you the warm, wood-look grain of redwood with the near-zero upkeep of PVC, at a mid-range price. It resists weather, UV and moisture with almost no maintenance, while wood needs yearly sealing and IPE needs oiling. We'll match the Trex line and color to your budget and style.
