What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this composite decking for exceptional durability, low maintenance, and attractive wood-grain appearance. Most highlight its long-lasting performance, resistance to rot and warping, and elimination of annual staining or sealing compared to traditional wood. The realistic finish and color options receive consistent praise for enhancing curb appeal. Many commend the ease of cutting, handling, and installation, particularly with hidden fastener systems. A few report warping in some boards or note the surface gets hot in direct sunlight, but these concerns rarely outweigh the product's overall benefits. Most consider it a worthwhile investment.

Worked great

Would Recommend

I bought these trex pieces a month ago to repair our front steps. They were on sale for $13.60 each which worked out great. Our steps are exactly 8 feet wide so it was just a matter of removing the old treads and replacing them with these. Our neighbors commented on how much better they looked after. The color coordinates well with the existing deck boards. I believe they will look good for years to come.

Great product

I have used many different brands of composite decking and Trex is my favorite so far. I especially love the texture that is in the boards and how they look like real wood. It’s a high quality product and makes my house look amazing. I’m very impressed with the quality of the product.

Bad wood boards good trex

Would Recommend

Bought these to replace the boards on my deck to avoid having to replace and paint the existing boards. The boards have lasted about 6 years and are already showing rotten areas. In the long run this is going to save money.

Very Satisfied

Would Recommend

I bought Trex Enhanced Basic for the boardwalk to my dock in the pebble beach color. It has only been one month, but I love the color as it blends very well with the woods that the boardwalk runs through. I also really like the way it mitigates the heat. as far as I can tell at this point, we will be able to walk in bare feet to the water without burning our feet. Finally, I had the boardwalk built for me as I am not a do it yourself person so I absolutely love the limited maintenance required. ...
