About Pinnacle Decking
A brand built to stand on a standard — not a name, not a story.
A brand built to stand on a standard — not a name, not a story.
Pinnacle Decking builds luxury outdoor living spaces in the Hudson Valley to a single, documented standard — the highest in composite deck construction in the region. After firsthand experience installing every major composite board on the market — TimberTech, AZEK PVC, Decorators, Trex — we chose Trex. Not because it is popular. Because it performs. Especially when paired with aluminum railing and installed the right way. That is the part most people skip. We don't.
Pinnacle Decking holds the Trex Platinum Pro Builder designation — the highest certification Trex offers, held by fewer than one percent of builders nationally. It includes a 10-year TrexPro Platinum labor warranty when both Trex decking and railing are installed on the same project, transferable to a new homeowner within the first five years — making a Pinnacle-built deck a selling feature for any home on the market. You can verify our certification directly on the Trex website.
When a prospect finds Pinnacle Decking, they are buying the standard — the Trex Platinum Pro certification, the documented install protocol, the visual proof system, and CompanyCam documentation on every project. That is the difference between a contractor and a brand: you are not hiring a person, you are buying a guaranteed level of work.
After installing every major composite in real Hudson Valley conditions — not in a showroom — the data made the decision. Trex performs, especially paired with aluminum railing installed to a documented standard. Aluminum railing only: composite railing absorbs moisture, molds within weeks, and sags by the end of one summer. Some contractors call that lost maintenance revenue. We call it integrity.
In Garrison, New York, homeowners called about a deck board replacement. We inspected the framing, the railings, the whole build — and told them the truth: it was a bad build that needed to be replaced entirely. They trusted us. The result was Hudson Horizon Haven — Trex Signature Whidbey decking, X-Series cable railing, Haven full-color LED lighting, and Polywood Eastport furniture in Weathered Tweed. That is not a contractor relationship. That is what integrity builds.
Messco Building Supply has been a Hudson Valley fixture since 1981 — a real Orange County lumber yard, named for the family behind it, not a corporate logo. Contractors and homeowners know the people at the counter by name. When it came time to build their own showroom, they didn't open a bid process. They called Pinnacle.
We built the exterior walls, the fencing, the outdoor decks, and the display decks on the showroom floor itself. That's how both of us work — owner to owner, name to name. Just real people standing behind real work. The kind of proof that cannot be bought.
You want it done once. Done right. You want to trust the process and come home to something that exceeds what you imagined. You want a builder who is still picking up the phone three years later. We are not a fit if you are getting four quotes and going with the lowest number, or if you can't see the value in what you can't see — the framing, joist tape, helical piles, sealed cut ends. We tell the truth even when it costs us the job. If you know the difference, you're already home.
