0restaining
No more restaining
Wood decks in Bend need stain or sealer every 2 to 3 years. Composite needs a wash with a hose, about once a year.
Composite & cedar deck systems
Built to last. Designed for how you live.
Composite decking and railing systems, framed and installed to the manufacturer's spec by a detail-first Central Oregon crew.
Why Central Oregon homeowners switch to composite
Wood decks here don't age well. UV at elevation, dry summers and big temperature swings crack, fade and gray pressure-treated lumber, and it needs restaining every couple of years. Composite doesn't need restaining. We design and build composite deck systems that are framed and installed to the manufacturer's standards, so the warranty holds.
3,600ft elevation
Made for UV at elevation
Bend gets more UV than the valley. Untreated wood bleaches gray in a summer. Composite boards are made to resist fading and staining.
90°+and below zero
Handles the swings
Freezing winters and 90-plus summers make wood swell, shrink and split. Composite is engineered for the range and resists cupping and splitting.
0splinters
Easier underfoot
No splinters, and a textured, slip-resistant surface on most Trex profiles. Better for kids, pets and bare feet.
Trex Transcend Lineage · SunComfortable®
Cooler underfoot on a July afternoon
Bend summers put a lot of sun on a deck. Lineage boards use Trex's SunComfortable heat-mitigating technology, which cut heat buildup by up to 35 degrees compared to Trex's original boards in Trex lab testing. Lighter colors stay cooler than darker ones, and any deck board gets warm in full sun.
Framed to spec
The part you won't see is the part that matters
Composite warranties depend on the frame underneath. Wrong joist spacing, missing blocking or no airflow, and the boards look fine on day one and buckle a few years later.
- Footings & postsSized and set below frost depth for Central Oregon soil.
- Ledger & beamsLedger flashed to the house so water can't get behind it.
- Joist spacingMatched to the decking you choose. Tighter spacing for diagonal or herringbone layouts.
- BlockingSolid blocking for a stiff floor and backing for the picture-frame border.
- DeckingHidden fasteners and the gap the manufacturer calls for, with airflow under the boards.
- Picture frameA border board that finishes the edges and hides the cut ends.
- RailingPosts anchored through the frame, set plumb and to code.
Fire rating
Decks in wildfire country
Every decking board is rated for how fast flame spreads across its surface. The test is ASTM E84, and a lower number means slower spread. Class A is the best rating, then B, then C. Composite is fire-resistant, not fireproof, so the rating is one part of how a deck holds up to embers.
- Board choiceTrex Transcend and Select carry a Class B rating. Enhance is Class C.
- Non-combustible railingSteel and aluminum rail don't burn.
- Under the deckKeeping the space beneath clear of debris and stored firewood matters as much as the boards.
- Next to the houseFiber cement siding where the deck meets the wall helps keep a deck fire from climbing the house. See Hardie siding
- Local codeSome Central Oregon neighborhoods have wildfire requirements for decks. We check what applies at your address before we spec materials.
Flame spread class, ASTM E84
Class A spreads flame slowest, then B, then C.

Warranty terms differ by line. We go over the current terms for each one at your estimate. We also build with AZEK composite and cedar.
Railing systems
Railing that finishes the build
Steel
Classic and very durable. Powder-coated, with black the most popular around Central Oregon. Works with every Trex line.
Aluminum
Lighter than steel, won't rust, low upkeep. A good fit for modern homes and elevated or second-story decks.
Cable
Clean horizontal lines that keep the view open. Needs proper post sizing and tensioning, which is where installer skill shows.

Questions
Common questions
Which Trex decking line should I choose?
Trex Transcend Lineage is the premium line with the deepest grain and SunComfortable heat-mitigating technology. Trex Select is a mid-range board with a subtle grain. Trex Enhance is the value line. We bring samples and compare them on your project.
Is composite decking fire rated?
Composite decking is fire-resistant, not fireproof. Trex Transcend and Select carry a Class B flame spread rating, and Trex Enhance is Class C, based on the ASTM E84 test. Steel and aluminum railing don't burn.
Does composite decking get hot in the sun?
Any deck board gets warm in full sun. Trex Transcend Lineage uses SunComfortable technology, which cut heat buildup by up to 35 degrees compared to Trex's original boards in Trex lab testing. Lighter colors stay cooler.
How far apart should joists be for a composite deck?
Trex calls for joists 16 inches on center for most residential decks and tighter spacing for diagonal layouts. We match the framing to the board and layout you choose so the warranty holds.
Do you build cedar or AZEK decks too?
Yes. We build with Trex and AZEK composite and with cedar.
What railing do you install?
Steel, aluminum and cable railing.
Which areas do you serve?
Bend, Redmond, Sunriver, La Pine, Sisters, Crescent Lake and the rest of Deschutes County.
