What Is Trex Decking?
Let DFW Fence Contractor build your dream deck with Trex decking, the world's best high-performance composite decking brand you can find. The main differences with a Trex fence is it won’t ever rot, warp, or splinter like wood can. Additionally it never needs seasonal painting or staining which also means it won’t fade in the sun. This composite decking is worth the money in every aspect.

Trex Decking Is The Hassle Free Alternative To Wood

has superior longevity, aesthetic beauty, and is low maintenance. When you factor in the cost comparison on par with traditional wood, the differences are minimal especially when you compare material consistency and beauty, a composite deck has never been more appealing to people.
The Hassles That Come with Wood
Redwood, Pressure-Treated Lumber and Cedar
Needs seasonal painting, staining or sealing
Becomes a safety hazard when it rots, splits and splinters
Fades and stains easily, showing every spill and scuff
Insects can cause extensive structural damage
Contributes to deforestation, cutting down trees that local wildlife depend on
Cost of Trex Decking vs Wood Decking
When comparing the costs of a new deck one must consider the size of the deck, the configuration, costs of materials and labor, and much more. Labor will typically run about 1/3 the total cost of the entire project here in Texas. If you need a quote today, don’t hesitate to call.
In Texas, pressure treated pine is your cheapest option with cedar, redwood, or other hardwoods costing more and all will range from $25 and $40 per square foot.

Don’t overlook the long-term costs of owning a Trex Deck. They are minimal compared to a traditional deck that needs a ton of maintenance each year. One must ask themselves at what cost do I put my time. Maintaining a wood deck with regular sanding, staining, and sealing will add significant costs over the lifespan of the deck. The cost can be expected to double when everything is factored in.
