Frequently Asked Questions

When it comes to decking options, Trex Select and Trex Transcend are two popular choices. Trex Select boasts an astriated pattern that replicates the look of natural wood, while Trex Transcend goes a step further, enhancing the natural grain with a pattern that mimics the real thing. If you’re after a wide range of colors, Trex Transcend is the undisputed champion, with a whopping 11 shades to choose from. Both options are designed to stand up to the elements, and they’re easy to maintain with soap and water. However, if you’re worried about scratches, you might prefer Trex Transcend’s 4 out of 5 star rating over Trex Select’s. Last but not least, Trex Transcend comes with a 50-year warranty, compared to Trex Select’s 30-year guarantee. Learn more about the differences in this blog post.

With proper installation by a professional team like Blackrock Decks, Trex Composite Decking can last 25-50 years. That’s double the lifespan of a traditional wooden deck!

You can keep your Trex Deck cool in the summer by adding custom roofing, pergolas, shade covers and greenery. Sometimes a lighter decking color can help to mitigate heat.

At Blackrock, we know that time is of the essence. That’s why we make it a priority to complete each deck build within a reasonable amount of time. We strive to finish the project from start to finish in approximately five days so that our clients can start enjoying their new outdoor space as soon as possible. However, we understand that some decks can be larger and more complex than others, which is why larger decks may take up to 3-4 weeks to complete, depending on size.

No matter the size or complexity, our experts have the skills and expertise to remodel any deck to meet your exact specifications. You can trust our team of Trex deck builders to tackle any challenge, from intricate designs to unique shapes, and provide creative solutions that exceed your expectations.

A patio cover is a direct extension of your home with a solid roof that shields you from the elements. Pergolas offer a different style of outdoor shelter with their non-solid roofs. These versatile structures can be attached or removed from your home, and are perfect for creating a cozy outdoor space that feels like a retreat. With a variety of design options to choose from, adding a patio cover or pergola to your home can be a great way to enhance your outdoor living experience.

We can take care of all the necessary approvals and engineering requirements, so you don’t have to. But we don’t stop there – we also handle all warranty registrations with Trex on behalf of our customers. That way, you can relax and enjoy your new deck, knowing that you’re covered by the 10 year Trex labor warranty provided by Trex. Let us know if this is an option you’d like to exercise.
