When you’re considering re-decking your existing deck or building a completely new outdoor living space, Trex is one of our go-to decking brands at CECCO Construction. Trex composite decking offers the appearance of natural wood without the ongoing sanding, staining, and sealing associated with traditional pressure-treated lumber.Trex offers three primary decking levels that make it easier for homeowners to choose a product based on appearance, performance, and budget:Trex Enhance® – Good: Trex Enhance is the most budget-friendly option and provides an attractive wood-grain appearance with the low-maintenance benefits of composite decking. Enhance boards feature a lighter, scalloped profile and are available in a wide selection of colors. Trex backs Enhance decking with a 25-year limited residential warranty.Trex Select® – Better: Trex Select provides an excellent balance between affordability, durability, and appearance. It features a solid board profile, refined wood-grain patterns, and increased fade and stain resistance. Select is an excellent choice for homeowners who want an upgraded composite deck without moving into the premium price range. Trex Select carries a 35-year limited residential warranty.Trex Transcend® – Best: Trex Transcend is the premium choice for homeowners looking for deeper wood-grain textures, richer multi-tonal colors, and increased resistance to scratching, fading, staining, mold, and everyday wear.

At CECCO Construction, we understand that the railing system is a major part of both the appearance and the safety of a properly engineered deck. Depending on the style of the home, the homeowner’s budget, and the overall deck design, we can incorporate several different railing options into a new deck or re-decking project.One of the most traditional choices is pressure-treated wood railing. This is a proven, economical option that can be built to meet applicable building-code requirements for height, spacing, strength, stairs, and guardrail performance. Pressure-treated railing can be a very practical choice, although some homeowners prefer a more finished, lower-maintenance appearance.Another option is a cocktail rail system, which combines pressure-treated railing components with a composite deck board installed across the top rail. This creates a wider, finished surface that can complement the deck boards and provide a more refined appearance while retaining a strong wood railing structure.We also install Trex railing systems, which are available in a variety of styles and combinations. Depending on the selected system, homeowners may choose white railing components, traditional baluster layouts, or contrasting black tubular balusters for a more contemporary look. Trex Select and other Trex railing options can coordinate closely with the decking, fascia, stairs, and overall exterior design of the home.For homeowners looking to take the project a step further, CECCO Construction can also incorporate low-voltage lighting into the railing system, including post-cap lights, stair lighting, and accent lighting.When building an engineered deck in Northern Virginia, the railing system should provide more than good looks. It should be properly planned, code-compliant, structurally secure, and integrated into the overall deck design for long-term performance.
