Return to article: How to Have a Deck Built
on 6/11/2007 Whatever you do, don't use Trex Decking. It grows a mold in a spotted form after a month or two. You have to go over the whole deck with bleach, and sometimes that doesn't work. You'll have to bring out the pressure washer. I called Trex and they told me there is nothing they can do and I have to buy a sealer to seal the deck. I don't know about you guys, but I was told Trex decking was virtually maintenance-free. I'm working harder on the Trex than I ever did on the wood decking before!

on 11/22/2005 If you're hiring someone else to do your deck, don't bother to find out what permits are needed. Your contractor will do this for you, and you probably will spend a lot of time trying to find something you have absolutely no clue about.
