| Detail | Industry Standard | Pinnacle |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Concrete piers, often undersized. | Helical piles or concrete pinned to ledge — engineered, driven to depth. |
| Framing protection | Bare PT — rots from the joist out. | Encapsulated + joist-taped; LVL and Owens Corning options. |
| Joist tape | Skipped or partial. | Every piece, every contact edge, the vertical fascia edge too. |
| Fasteners | Visible screws. | Hidden clips + Cortex-plugged ends — invisible. |
| Fascia | One piece, fascia screws. | Three-piece, glued and screwed — crown-molding profile. |
| Railing | Composite — molds, sags in one summer. | Trex Signature aluminum exclusively — climate-stable. |
| Lighting | Added later, surface-mount. | Haven full-color, designed day one, wired before decking closes. |
| Warranty | Material only, often unregistered. | Material + 10-yr TrexPro Platinum labor, emailed in 24 hrs, transferable. |
Engineering and permits are part of the build — drawings, stamped structural details where required, and municipal submissions handled in-house. Never an upsell. Always the standard.
