Trex Composite Deck Replacement in Austin, Texas

This project involved the complete replacement of aging wooden decking with new Trex composite decking for two backyard decks at a home in Austin, Texas. The existing wood deck boards had reached the end of their service life — they were weathered, cracked, and beginning to rot in several areas. The homeowner wanted a durable, low-maintenance solution, which made Trex composite decking the ideal upgrade.
Trex decking is one of the most popular materials for deck replacement in Austin, thanks to its resistance to moisture, heat, and insects. Unlike traditional wood, Trex boards do not require staining, sealing, or frequent maintenance, making them perfect for Texas weather.

TREX Project Overview

Initial Deck Condition and Inspection

Before beginning the work, we performed a full inspection of the existing structure. The original deck boards were heavily worn and had multiple screw holes from previous repairs. Several boards had soft spots and visible damage from long-term exposure to the elements.
The underlying deck framing was still structurally sound, which allowed us to perform a deck resurfacing project rather than a full rebuild. This approach saved the homeowner significant cost while still delivering a completely new deck surface.

Step 1 – Removal of Existing Wood Deck Boards

The first step of the project was to carefully remove the old wooden decking.
This process included:

Removing all existing deck boards
Removing old fasteners and hardware
Inspecting joists and framing for hidden damage
Cleaning debris and preparing the structure for new materials

During removal we checked every joist to ensure the framing could properly support the new Trex composite deck boards.

Step 2 – Frame Reinforcement and Preparation

Although the deck structure was in good condition, several improvements were made to ensure long-term durability.
Work included:

Reinforcing several joists
Adjusting spacing where necessary for composite decking
Installing joist protection tape to protect the wood framing from moisture
Re-leveling sections of the frame to ensure a flat deck surface

Proper preparation of the framing is critical for Trex deck installation, especially in Austin where humidity and temperature changes can affect materials.

Step 3 – Installation of Trex Composite Decking

Once the structure was prepared, we installed the new Trex composite decking boards.
Trex boards provide several benefits:

Extremely low maintenance
Resistant to rot, mold, and insects
No staining or sealing required
Long lifespan compared to traditional wood decks

The boards were installed with a clean, modern layout and secured with hidden fasteners to create a smooth and professional finish.
The perimeter of the deck was finished with matching composite fascia boards to give the deck a fully finished appearance.

Step 4 – Finishing and Cleanup

After the decking installation was completed, we finished the project by:

Installing edge trim and fascia boards
Final alignment and tightening of fasteners
Cleaning the entire deck surface
Removing all construction debris from the property

The result was a modern composite deck that looks completely new and will last for decades with minimal maintenance.

Final Result

The finished decks now provide the homeowner with a clean, durable outdoor space perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The new Trex composite decking dramatically improved both the appearance and long-term reliability of the outdoor living area.
Compared to the original wood boards, the new deck offers:

improved durability
better resistance to weather
minimal maintenance requirements
a modern, clean aesthetic

For homeowners in Austin, Cedar Park, Lakeway, and surrounding areas, upgrading from wood decking to Trex composite decking is one of the best long-term investments for outdoor spaces.

We were fortunate to contract with Kir Ostrovskii to clean and repair our decks and patio. We had neglected them since the pandemic and needed some tender loving care. Kir provided excellent guidance about how to clean and oil the ipe deck and power wash our stone patio. The outcome was a lovely deck and patio that looked almost new! It has become a more welcoming space. Thanks, Kir!
