Why Pittsboro Residents Choose Us for Trex Decks

TrexPro certification is not given to every contractor who installs Trex products. The certification requires documented training in Trex installation methods, ongoing continuing education, and a track record of quality installations that meet Trex standards. Our TrexPro status means we know the specific requirements for board gapping, hidden fastener installation, railing post anchoring, and perimeter detailing that Trex specifies for warranty compliance.

We have installed hundreds of Trex decks across Wake County and maintain an extensive sample library with physical samples of every current Trex color and product line. During your consultation, we bring full-size board samples to your home so you can see how each color looks against your siding, trim, and landscaping in natural light. Small swatches and online photos do not accurately represent the color and texture you will live with for 25 years.

As TrexPro installers, we handle the warranty registration process for you. Every Trex product carries a manufacturer warranty, but that warranty requires proper registration with documentation of the installer credentials and installation methods. We submit this documentation on your behalf and provide you with written confirmation of your warranty coverage.

Design Tips for Trex Decks in Pittsboro

Trex offers the widest color palette in the composite decking industry, with options ranging from tropical hardwood tones to weathered coastal grays. Multi-tonal colors that blend two or three shades create the most realistic wood appearance and hide dirt better than solid colors. We recommend viewing full-size samples in both sun and shade to understand how the color reads in different lighting conditions.

Picture framing with a contrasting Trex color creates a polished border detail that defines the deck edge. This technique uses a different color board around the perimeter, creating a frame effect. Double picture frames with two contrasting colors provide even more visual impact. These details add minimal cost but significantly elevate the finished appearance.

Maintaining Your Deck in Pittsboro

Trex decking requires minimal maintenance compared to wood, but periodic cleaning keeps it looking its best. Trex recommends cleaning with a soft-bristle brush and a composite deck cleaner or dish soap solution. For mold or mildew spots, use a cleaner specifically formulated for composite decking and scrub gently with a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or stiff brushes that can scratch the shell surface.

Snow removal on Trex decking requires a plastic shovel or snow blower with rubber blades. Metal shovels can scratch the protective shell. Calcium chloride ice melt is safe for Trex surfaces but should be swept off after the ice melts. Rock salt is also safe but may leave a residue that needs rinsing.
