Trex Deck Installation in Denver

Trex decking is made from 95% recycled wood and plastic film and doesn't need yearly sanding, staining or sealing. We take a Trex deck from the first consultation through permits, board selection, construction and clean-up.

What a Trex board is made of

Trex's recycled wood and plastic film form the composite body of each board. Newer-generation Trex boards wrap that composite in a high-performance outer shell, and the shell is what resists fading, staining, scratching and mold.

How a Trex deck project runs

  1. Consultation and design

    We talk through how you'll use the deck, visit the site when the project calls for it, and design a deck around your home and budget.

  2. Permitting and approval

    We prepare drawings, submit the permit and coordinate inspections, plus HOA review if your neighborhood requires it. The deck is built to local building codes.

  3. Material selection

    You choose from the range of Trex colors and finishes, with our help. The section below covers how to narrow it down.

  4. Construction

    Our crew builds the footings and frame, installs the Trex decking, then adds railings, stairs and any other features in the design.

  5. Final inspection and clean-up

    We inspect the finished deck against code and our own standards, then clean up the site completely.

  6. Warranty and support

    Our work is backed by a warranty. We go over the details during your consultation.

“Centennial Custom Decks recently replaced our old deck. We were pleased with Greg's design and especially his crew during installation. Their attention to detail, clean-up and demeanor were of the highest caliber. Greg is honest and can be trusted. We would not hesitate to recommend him.”

Choosing your Trex boards

Material selection is its own step because the range is wide.

Start with the collection

Trex sells its decking in several collections, including Select, Transcend and Signature. They differ in color range, wood-grain pattern and board profile, so settling on a collection narrows the colors you'll choose from.

Then the color

Hold color choices up against your siding, trim and roof. Decide whether border boards should match the rest of the deck or contrast with it, and choose the railing color in the same sitting.

If you have an HOA, its review may cover color. In Highlands Ranch, the Highlands Ranch Community Association's guidelines call for deck colors and finishes that complement the home, and a deck submittal includes a list of materials with photos.

Questions homeowners ask

Is Trex worth the extra cost over wood?

It depends on how you weigh upfront cost against upkeep. Wood is relatively inexpensive compared with other decking materials but needs regular cleaning and sealing. Trex costs more as a material and drops the sealing routine. Our post on whether Trex is worth it in Denver goes deeper.

What upkeep does a Trex deck need?

Trex describes its decking as low maintenance, and its own care guidance calls for a simple soap-and-water clean.

Can a Trex deck sit on a steel frame?

Yes. Trex decking can go on a frame of pressure-treated wood or steel, and our deck framing page compares the two.

Do you build Trex decks outside Denver?

Yes. We build across much of the Denver area and the surrounding foothills, including Parker, Castle Rock and Centennial.
