Certified Installation for Trex Composite Decking

You have decided on Trex composite decking because it does not require staining, resists fading and scratching, and holds up better than wood over time. To get the full benefit of those materials, you need installation that meets Trex's standards for fastener spacing, joist support, and board layout. North Georgia Elite Decks is a TrexPro Platinum installer in Jasper, which means we have completed the certification process, follow Trex installation guidelines exactly, and have access to extended warranty coverage that protects your investment beyond the standard material warranty.

Trex installation involves building a frame using pressure-treated lumber or steel joists, spacing supports to prevent flexing, and installing the composite boards using hidden fasteners that keep the surface clean and free of exposed screws. Trex boards are grooved along the edges to accept fastening clips, which lock the boards in place without penetrating the top surface. Fascia boards cover the framing, and Trex railing systems can be added to match the deck's color and finish. Because Trex expands and contracts slightly with temperature changes, spacing and fastening must follow manufacturer specifications to avoid buckling or gaps.

What to Expect When You Book

Your Trex deck project starts with selecting the product line that fits your budget and style preferences, which includes options for different colors, finishes, and performance tiers. We measure the area, plan the board layout to minimize waste and seams, and determine where stairs, railings, and any custom features will go. In Jasper, decks built with Trex benefit from the material's resistance to moisture and fading, which keeps the surface looking consistent even with exposure to afternoon sun and summer storms.

When the installation is finished, you will have a deck with uniform color and texture, no splinters, and a surface that stays cooler underfoot than traditional composite materials. North Georgia Elite Decks installs Trex using the hidden fastening system, so you will not see screws or nails on the deck boards. The edges are trimmed with fascia that wraps the frame completely, and railings are anchored securely without wobbling or flexing when leaned against.

We follow Trex's requirements for joist spacing, which is typically closer than standard wood decking to prevent bounce. The boards are installed with small gaps to allow for expansion, and end cuts are sealed if required by the product line. This service includes disposal of old decking materials if you are replacing an existing deck, but does not cover electrical work for lighting or fans, though we can coordinate access and framing for those additions.

Homeowners choosing Trex decking often have questions about maintenance, color options, and what makes certified installation different from standard composite deck builders.

What is the difference between TrexPro Platinum and other installers?

TrexPro Platinum installers have completed advanced training, follow Trex installation standards exactly, and offer access to enhanced warranties. Other installers may use Trex products but lack certification and warranty support.

How long does Trex decking last compared to wood?

Trex composite decking lasts 25 to 30 years or more without rotting, splintering, or requiring refinishing. Wood decks typically need replacement or major repairs within 10 to 15 years.

Why does Trex cost more than pressure-treated wood?

Trex costs more upfront because it is a manufactured composite material with higher production costs. You save money over time because it does not need staining, sealing, or board replacement due to rot.

What colors are available for Trex decking in Jasper?

Trex offers a range of colors from light grays and tans to deep browns and charcoals. Color availability depends on the product line you choose, with premium tiers offering more realistic wood grain patterns.

When should you replace an existing wood deck with Trex?

You should replace a wood deck with Trex when the framing is still solid but the surface boards are rotting, splitting, or requiring frequent repairs. If the framing is also damaged, a full rebuild is necessary.

A Trex deck installed by a certified contractor gives you long-term performance and warranty protection that standard installations cannot match. Contact us to review your deck project and discuss Trex product options that fit your home and budget.
