Experienced Trex Professionals
We have been building decks since 1988 and a TrexPro Platinum Contractor for over 25 years. We have decades of experience working with Trex decking products.
Custom Design
We do not believe every home needs the same deck. We design each deck around your home, property, and how you plan to use the space.
Complete Project Management
We coordinate the design, permitting, construction, and project completion so you have one team managing the process.
Quality Installation
Proper installation is essential to the long-term performance of a composite deck. Our experienced team pays attention to structural details, fastening, drainage, and finish work.
Local Experience
We understand the weather conditions that Chicago-area decks face. Seasonal temperature changes, snow, rain, humidity, and summer sun can all affect a deck over time.
Industry Warranties
Trex decking products are backed by manufacturer warranties that vary by product line. We can help you understand the warranty associated with the products selected for your project.
Trex Deck Design and Installation in the Chicago Suburbs
Trex composite decking provides the look of a traditional wood deck without ongoing maintenance. However, the decking material is only one part of a successful project.
At Warner’s Decking, we approach every Trex deck as a complete construction project. Our process begins with understanding how you plan to use the space, the architecture of your home, your preferred style, and your budget. Next, we help you select your decking color, railings, stairs, lighting, and other features. We use your selections to develop the final deck design.
Our Trex Deck Installation Process
We begin with a no-obligation consultation to discuss your property, goals, budget, and ideas for your new deck.
We design each deck to fit your home, lifestyle, and needs.
We help you compare Trex decking options, railings, lighting, and other features to create a cohesive design.
Once the design is finalized, we coordinate the necessary permitting and prepare the project for construction.
Our experienced team builds your deck according to the approved design. We focus on structural integrity, proper drainage, secure fastening, and quality finish work.
After the project is complete the owner does a final walk through ensuring the build meets our standards. We review the finished deck with you to also make sure the work meets your expectations.
Why Choose Trex Composite Decking?
Trex composite decking provides long-lasting performance with significantly less maintenance than traditional wood decking. Trex decking does not require routine sanding, staining, or sealing. Its composite construction also helps resist common problems associated with outdoor wood structures, including rot, splintering, and insect damage.
Low-Maintenance Performance
Trex decking requires only routine washing, rather than the regular sanding, staining, and sealing that many wood decks need.
Resists Rot, Warping, Splitting, and Splintering
Composite decking is designed to withstand outdoor conditions without the same susceptibility to moisture-related deterioration found in traditional wood decking.
Fade and Stain Resistance
Trex decking uses protective technology to maintain its appearance despite sunlight, weather, and everyday wear.
Resistant to Insects
Unlike natural wood, Trex composite decking does not provide termites and other wood-destroying insects with a food source.
Long-Term Value
Composite decking typically costs more upfront than basic wood decking. However, its low maintenance requirements and long service life can make it a worthwhile long-term investment.
Trex Composite Decking vs. Wood Decking
When homeowners compare Trex with wood, they typically consider maintenance, durability, appearance, and long-term cost. The right material depends on your home, budget, design preferences, and how much maintenance you want to perform. Our team can help you compare your options before construction begins.
| Category | Trex Composite Decking | Wood Decking |
| Maintenance | Requires routine cleaning, but no regular staining or sealing | Typically requires staining, sealing, and refinishing |
| Rot and Decay | Resistant to rot and decay | Vulnerable to moisture-related deterioration |
| Splintering | Designed not to splinter like wood | Can splinter as the material ages |
| Insects | Resistant to termite and insect damage | Some wood species are vulnerable to insects |
| Appearance | Consistent colors and wood-like textures | Natural grain and variation |
| Lifespan | Varies by Trex product line and warranty | Varies by wood species and maintenance |

Custom Trex Decks Built for Chicago-Area Homes
Every property is different. Your deck should complement your home and make the most of your available space. The design should also account for the property’s grade, access points, and how you plan to use the space. Warner’s Decking designs custom Trex decks for a wide range of applications, including:
- Elevated decks
- Ground-level decks
- Multi-level decks
- Covered decks
- Outdoor kitchens
- Decks with pergolas and shade structures
We design Trex decks to fit your property and how you plan to use the space. That could mean a simple outdoor dining area or a complete backyard entertaining space.
Trex RainEscape Under-Deck Drainage System
An elevated deck gives you an opportunity to put the space underneath to use. Trex RainEscape directs water away from the space beneath an elevated deck. This keeps the area below dry and usable. This can help transform the space underneath into a more comfortable and functional outdoor living area. Depending on the design, homeowners can use the finished space for:
- Outdoor seating
- Dining areas
- Entertainment
- Lighting
- Ceiling fans
- Storage
Our team can incorporate Trex RainEscape into your deck design when creating a finished space underneath an elevated deck.
Our Trex Deck Projects
Midwest weather brings heavy snow loads, severe freeze-thaw cycles, and high summer humidity. We design our framing, footings, and Trex board spacing to handle Northern Illinois climate shifts. This prevents warping or shifting.

Why Choose Trex Over Wood Decking in Chicago Suburbs?
Trex outdoor living products offer numerous advantages over wood, including longer lifespan and easier maintenance. Trex decking and fencing are made from a combination of recycled wood and plastic, making them more durable and resistant to rot, splintering, and insect damage. In comparison, wooden outdoor structures can begin to deteriorate within just a few years, requiring expensive repairs or replacement.
