A composite deck at Geist that only needs a wash

Staining wood decks simply does not hold up against our Midwest winters, so families find themselves re-staining every other year and spending more time and money than they wanted to.

A deck can be so much more than a place to store your grill or patio furniture. We believe your deck can be a work of art and an extension of your home. As your local Indianapolis deck builder, Platinum Decking will help you and your family enjoy the beauty of outdoor living by simply walking out the back door.

Why composite

Resistant to the elements, rotting, insect infestation and any other natural cause of deterioration, composite boards are proven to last a minimum of 25 to 30 years, and typically much longer with our quality workmanship. The main reason composite decking reigns supreme is its durability: it maintains not only its structure over time but also its like-new coloration.

Unlike wood decks that require annual or bi-annual staining and periodic repair, a low-maintenance composite deck needs only a simple power wash to maintain its beauty. Traditional wood decks begin to fade and stain in the first few years, and they are susceptible to insect and wildlife damage that can lead to structural damage and safety hazards. Composite decks will never rot or splinter.

The Trex product lines

Trex offers four different product lines for deck building: Transcend, Select, Enhance Naturals and Enhance Basics. Trex Transcend is the top-rated composite decking material on the market today. Not only is it the most scratch-resistant, but the deep wood grain and its luxury colours blow every other composite decking brand out of the water. It is offered in ten colours and is stain-resistant, fade-resistant, scratch-resistant and mould-resistant.

How the build runs

Our crews are made up of two to three highly skilled deck builders. A week before your deck-building project begins we reach out and coordinate any final logistics. The normal building process runs demolition, diamond footing placement, deck framing, decking, deck lights, deck stairs and then deck railings.

After the completion of your project we do a final walk-around to ensure you are satisfied, and register the Trex 25-year warranty. As a Trex Pro Platinum builder, Trex extends a 10-year labour warranty for every Trex deck we build.
