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.

Better than wood for Canaan Valley, WV

Would Recommend

Bought a small place with old, deteriorating, very small decks. Did the porch with same footprint. Tore off back deck, expanded it to use 16’. Easy to work with. Husband had them done in a couple days per. Next up: a walkway leading to a back deck off Sunporch. Definitely the way to go whether harsh winters or extreme temperatures. Used Clamshell.

Great color and consistency boards

Would Recommend

Purchased composite decking boards from Lowe’s and have been very happy with the quality. The boards were straight, consistent in color, and easy to work with during installation. They feel solid underfoot and should require much less maintenance than traditional wood decking. Overall, a great value for the price, and the project turned out looking fantastic.

Would Recommend

I’ve really enjoyed working with this product and feel confident that this composite deck should give me many years of maintenance free use. The deck is now absolutely gorgeous! Do the research on the installation of this product and carefully plan. It’s expensive stuff so mistakes are costly. Fasteners aren’t cheap either but definitely worth it to use the hidden fasteners system. h on the installation of this product

Does the Job

Would Recommend

We have an 80-foot deck along the backside of her house that we have been putting in for a couple years now, the 16 ft trex, warped and curled up on the edges. They were stored properly and installed properly with a huge French drain underneath. We have had to replace approximately 20 pieces and alternate them with the bad pieces so the deck looks good and works well. The warranty offered is not a very good warranty, we know the deck will be better than it wooden with less maintenance. However d...

Ease of use.

This was my first time using this type of product. I’ve always used lumber for building. This was easy to cut, easy to put screws through and a lot more uniform than lumber. I looked at redwood and compared prices, of not just the initial cost but that of maintenance as well. This product is worth every penny.
