Trex, TimberTech & AZEK Composite Decks in Atlanta

Composite decks typically run $22,000 to $80,000+ depending on size, brand, and complexity. A standard 200 sq ft Trex Enhance deck with composite railings starts around $22,000-$35,000 installed. Mid-range builds using Trex Select or TimberTech Pro in the 250-400 sq ft range land in the $35,000-$55,000 range. Premium multi-level designs with Trex Transcend or TimberTech AZEK go higher — $50,000-$80,000+. We provide free estimates for every project.

Composite decking can get warm underfoot on a 95-degree afternoon in direct sun — similar to any dark surface. Lighter board colors (tan, gray, sandstone) stay noticeably cooler than dark browns or blacks. Newer lines like Trex Transcend and TimberTech AZEK have improved heat dissipation compared to older composites. Shading strategies — pergolas, shade sails, or positioning the deck to take advantage of tree cover — also help.

Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK are the top performers. All three use capped polymer technology that resists moisture, UV fading, and mold. AZEK (100% PVC) offers the best moisture resistance and is ideal for pool areas or ground-level decks. Trex is the most widely available with strong mid-range options. TimberTech sits between the two with excellent aesthetics and durability. We install all three and help you pick the right fit for your budget and priorities.

Premium composite decking lasts 25-50 years with virtually zero maintenance. Trex offers a 25-year limited residential warranty on most lines. TimberTech AZEK carries a 50-year structural warranty plus a 30-year fade and stain warranty. Compare that to pressure-treated wood that needs staining every 2-3 years and typically lasts 10-15 years before boards start failing. The higher upfront cost of composite pays for itself over time.

Almost nothing. Rinse it with a garden hose or a mild soap-and-water solution once or twice a year to remove pollen and dirt. No staining, no sealing, no sanding, no replacing warped or splintered boards. We clean up thoroughly after every build so your deck is ready to use the day we finish.

For most homeowners, yes. A pressure-treated wood deck costs less upfront, but you'll spend $800-$1,500 every 2-3 years on staining and sealing, plus board replacements as sections warp and rot. Over 20 years, that maintenance adds $5,000-$10,000+ to the total cost. A composite deck needs nothing but a hose-down once or twice a year for its entire 25-50 year lifespan. Factor in maintenance savings, time, and the higher resale value composite adds, and it pays for itself well before the warranty runs out.

It depends on the condition of your existing frame. If your current substructure — joists, ledger board, posts, and footings — is structurally sound pressure-treated lumber with no rot, insect damage, or code violations, we can often remove the old deck boards and install new composite decking on top of the existing frame. We inspect joist spacing (most composite brands require 16-inch on-center for residential, 12-inch for diagonal patterns), check fastener integrity, and verify that the ledger connection to your house is solid. If the frame passes inspection, redecking with composite saves you money on demolition and framing labor. If we find structural issues, we'll let you know exactly what needs to be replaced before we move forward.

A standard single-level composite deck (200-300 sq ft) typically takes 5-8 working days from the first footing pour to final cleanup. Multi-level builds, complex designs with curves or inlays, and larger decks (400+ sq ft) can take 2-3 weeks. The biggest variable is usually permitting — turnaround times vary by jurisdiction. Fulton County and Cobb County typically process deck permits in 1-2 weeks. We handle the entire permit process so you don't have to make trips to the building department.
