Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle the permit process in Plainfield?
Yes, our “One-Stop-Shop” approach means we manage all heavy lifting, including submitting architectural plans to the local building department, securing permits, and scheduling required inspections.
How long does a Trex deck installation typically take?
While build times vary based on design complexity, we provide a clear project timeline during your consultation so you know exactly when your new space will be ready.
Can a Trex deck be installed during the winter?
It actually can, because composite decking is resistant to moisture and freezing and does not need to be sealed; hard ground can also make pouring concrete footers more stable.
Why is it important to use a TrexPro Platinum builder?
This status is the highest level of recognition from Trex, verifying our deep expertise and allowing us to offer extended manufacturer-backed protections that uncertified builders cannot provide.
What kind of maintenance should I expect with composite?
Trex is designed for relaxation, not extra work; you will never have to sand or stain your deck, and a simple cleaning with soap and water twice a year is usually all that is required.
