Cost of Trex Decking vs Wood Decking
When comparing the costs of a new deck one must consider the size of the deck, the configuration, costs of materials and labor, and much more. Labor will typically run about 1/3 the total cost of the entire project here in Texas. If you need a quote today, don’t hesitate to call.
In Texas, pressure treated pine is your cheapest option with cedar, redwood, or other hardwoods costing more and all will range from $25 and $40 per square foot. The cost of Trex composite decking will range from $30 – $60 FULLY INSTALLED. Keep in mind material costs increase with the addition of railings, lighting, benches, and other deck features.
Don’t overlook the long-term costs of owning a Trex Deck. They are minimal compared to a traditional deck that needs a ton of maintenance each year. One must ask themselves at what cost do I put my time. Maintaining a wood deck with regular sanding, staining, and sealing will add significant costs over the lifespan of the deck. The cost can be expected to double when everything is factored in.
- Pressure Treated Pine $25-$30
- Red Cedar $35-40
- Mahogany $45-50
- IPE $55-$65
- Trex $30-$60
