If Florida weather had a natural enemy, it would be composite decking. Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators boards don't rot in our humidity, don't splinter in our UV, don't feed termites, and never need staining — which is why composite has become the default choice for Tampa homeowners planning to stay in their homes more than five years.
We're certified installers for the major composite lines, and that matters more than it sounds: composite expands and contracts differently than wood, requires specific gapping and fastener systems in our heat, and voids its 25–50 year warranty when installed wrong. We install to manufacturer spec, register your warranty, and hand you the paperwork.
What's Included
- Trex (Enhance, Select, Transcend lines) — priced in tiers on every quote
- TimberTech AZEK and PRO collections
- Deckorators mineral-based composite for maximum heat resistance
- Hidden fastener systems — no screw heads on the walking surface
- Composite railing systems with aluminum balusters
- Full substructure framing rated for composite spans
Why Tampa Homeowners Choose Us
Composite boards are only as good as the frame under them. We build composite decks on the same hurricane-rated, joist-taped, engineered substructure as everything else we do — because a 25-year board on a 10-year frame is a 10-year deck. Every quote includes at least two product tiers side by side so you can see exactly what the upgrade buys you, and we'll tell you honestly when entry-level composite is all your project needs.
Where We Build
Composite is our most-requested surface in Westchase, Wesley Chapel, and Apollo Beach, where HOAs favor its uniform finish and waterfront owners value the zero-rot lifespan. We install composite decks everywhere from Carrollwood to Riverview.
What Composite & Trex Decks Costs In Tampa
Most composite & trex decks projects in the Tampa market run $55–$75 per square foot installed, with the final number driven by size, height, railing length, and material tier. Every quote we deliver is itemized — framing, surface, railings, permits, and haul-away as separate lines — and priced at two material tiers so you can see exactly what an upgrade buys. Permits and inspections are always included; if a competing quote is dramatically lower, that's usually the line that's missing. For the full market breakdown, see our 2026 Tampa deck cost guide.
How Your Project Runs
Every build follows the same four steps: a free on-site visit where we measure and talk materials, a written itemized quote within 48 hours, permits and engineered drawings handled by us through the county, and construction — most ground-level decks finish in 4–7 working days. You get a final walkthrough, full cleanup, and warranty paperwork in hand. No deposit is due until you approve the final design, and the crew that quotes your project is the crew that builds it.
Composite & Trex Decks FAQ
Installed Trex runs $55–$75 per square foot in the Tampa market depending on product line and railing choices — substructure, hidden fasteners, permits, and haul-away included.
Darker boards in full sun get hot — that's physics. We steer Tampa clients toward lighter colorways and heat-mitigating lines like Deckorators mineral-based boards, especially for pool decks.
If you'll own the home 5+ years, usually yes: zero staining, zero rot, and a transferable warranty typically beat wood's lower entry price. Our full comparison runs the 10-year math.
All three majors perform well here when installed to spec. We'll recommend based on your sun exposure, budget, and color preference — and show you physical samples at the site visit.
Often, yes — if your frame passes our structural inspection, a composite re-deck saves 30–40% versus a full rebuild. We verify joist spacing meets the composite span rating first.
