Decks

Composite Decking

Trex, TimberTech, and Azek — no staining, no splinters, 25+ year warranties

Composite decking solves the two biggest problems with wood: ongoing maintenance and finite lifespan. Modern capped composite boards — a wood-plastic core wrapped in a durable polymer shell — deliver the visual depth of stained hardwood while eliminating stain, seal, sand, and rot cycles. The top brands (Trex, TimberTech, Azek) carry 25 to 50-year limited warranties with transferable coverage, and the newest product lines rival the look of exotic hardwoods at a fraction of the lifetime cost.

Dynasty Restoration installs the full premium composite product range, with particular focus on Trex Transcend and Enhance lines, TimberTech Azek (PVC-capped), and select higher-end alternatives. We handle the full project — demo if replacing, framing adjustments to composite-specific joist spacing requirements (usually 12" or 16" on center), hidden fastener systems, picture-framed perimeters, and coordinated railing selections.

Composite Brands We Install

Trex Transcend / Enhance

The category leader. Broad color and grain pattern range, 25-year limited fade and stain warranty, wide availability. Transcend is the premium line; Enhance is the mid-market.

TimberTech (Azek & PRO)

PVC-capped composite (TimberTech Azek) and wood-plastic composite (TimberTech PRO). The PVC lines carry 50-year warranties and the most realistic wood-grain patterns available.

Fiberon

Strong mid-market alternative with 25-year residential limited warranty and good color stability. Often the best value in the capped composite category.

Hidden Fastener Systems

Cortex-style plug systems and edge-bite clips keep the deck surface entirely free of visible screws. Included on every composite install by default.

Composite Cost vs. Wood — The Real Math

Composite decking costs 30–60% more than pressure-treated wood at install. But over a 20-year window, composite almost always wins on total cost of ownership. A PT deck needs stain and seal every 3–5 years (materials + labor: $600–$1,800 each cycle), occasional board replacements from rot (often $500–$2,000), and eventually significant structural work. A composite deck costs none of that — a rinse with a hose is the full maintenance protocol. At the 15–20 year mark, the total spend on a PT deck has typically exceeded the composite install's premium, and the composite deck still looks like new.

Frequently Asked Questions About Composite Decking

Does composite decking get hot in the sun?
Darker colors do run warmer than light-colored wood in direct summer sun. Manufacturers have introduced solar-reflective formulations that significantly reduce this — we can steer you toward cooler-surface options if you have a sun-exposed deck.
Can composite be installed over existing deck framing?
Usually yes, IF the existing joists are sound, spaced correctly for the composite brand you choose (often 12" on center for 45-degree installs, 16" for standard), and the ledger and support system is code-compliant. We inspect before committing.
Do composite boards fade?
Modern capped composites fade minimally — typically 2–3 Delta-E units over the first year, then essentially stable. The 25-year fade warranty on major brands (Trex, TimberTech) covers fading beyond a visible threshold.
