Common questions

What is the best decking for a Hudson Valley deck?

We build with Trex Signature, Trex Transcend Lineage, Trex Select, and Trex PVC. We help you choose the line and color for your design, sun exposure, and maintenance preferences.

Does composite decking get hot in the sun?

Trex describes Lineage as decking with heat-mitigating technology. All decking can become hot in direct sun; color and weather affect surface temperature. We discuss sun exposure and color during design.

Is pressure-treated wood cheaper than composite?

Pressure-treated decking may have a lower initial material cost, but the complete comparison includes installation, cleaning, refinishing, and replacement over time. We compare those costs for your project and the upkeep you want to take on.

Trex vs TimberTech or AZEK — which is better up north?

Both manufacturers offer different product lines with different installation and care requirements. Pinnacle specifies Trex Signature, Trex Transcend Lineage, Trex Select, and Trex PVC. We choose the product for the property and follow its current installation instructions.
