Most used / most requested Trex color?

Trex Transcend® in Havana Gold.

What do you tell customers who are torn between wood and composite?

That the initial investment in comparison to wood will have a break-even within 1-3 years (depending on product selection), and then the deck is basically maintenance-free with no cost.

Thinking about your particular geographic location and climate, what are customers generally looking for when it comes to an outdoor living area?

Dry space due to the rain. Also, no staining is a huge factor because here in the NW, it is an annual event if you want your deck to last.

What’s your favorite Trex product other than decking?

Trex RainEscape is a great product for our area...it is a great way to better utilize under-deck areas.
