The biggest con facing a buyer is the high initial cost of Trex, it is a more expensive material than wood and so initial sticker shock can deter a lot of potential buyers. Another con is that not all deck builders have experience building Trex decks, they are not the same as a wood deck, so it is important to talk to a builder that has Trex experience. With these in mind, it is also important think about the future of the deck and its added value to your home. Though Trex is expensive, the long-term investment is unrivaled. Upkeep required is minimal, it is built to withstand all types of climates, and there is a large selection of colors that is sure to catch anyone’s eye.
