TimberTech and Trex are both quality composite decking brands available in the Spokane area. Trex starts at a lower price point and is widely available locally. TimberTech's higher-end lines offer better scratch resistance and a more realistic wood grain appearance. For most Spokane homeowners, Trex is the better value at the entry to mid level; TimberTech makes sense when the look matters more than the budget.
Trex entry-level boards (Trex Select and Transcend at mid range) run about $3 to $7 per square foot for the boards alone, not including framing labor. TimberTech's AZEK line, which is the higher-end product, runs $5 to $10 per square foot for the boards. On a 400 square foot deck surface, that board-cost difference is $800 to $1,200. Both brands require the same pressure-treated subframe and hidden fastener system, so the installation labor cost is similar across both. Local lumber yards in Spokane Valley and Mead carry both brands.
Trex boards have improved significantly in the past decade and the current Trex Transcend line has a convincing wood grain look. TimberTech's higher-end boards have a slightly deeper texture and more variation between boards, which reads as more natural when viewed up close. For a deck visible from inside the house through a sliding door on a South Hill home, the TimberTech look tends to be more convincing. For a deck at grade level in Spokane Valley that is primarily a functional outdoor space, Trex performs the same job at a lower board cost.
Both brands are made for the Pacific Northwest climate. Trex carries a 25-year fade and stain warranty on their Transcend line. TimberTech's AZEK line carries a 30-year residential warranty and a capped composite construction that is somewhat more resistant to moisture intrusion and scratching. In practical terms, both will outlast wood decking in Spokane by 10 or more years. The warranty difference matters if you are planning to stay in the home long term or want to hand the warranty to a buyer at resale.
Both Trex and TimberTech products are stocked at building supply stores in Spokane and Spokane Valley. Lead times and color availability vary by season. We typically order boards after the estimate is approved to confirm the exact color is in stock or has a short lead time. If a specific color is on backorder, we let you know before work starts so you can choose an in-stock alternative or wait for your first choice.
For homeowners who want the most realistic wood grain appearance and the strongest warranty, TimberTech's higher-end lines are worth the premium. For a functional deck where the primary goal is low maintenance, Trex delivers comparable durability at a lower board cost.
No. Different composite brands use different fastener systems, and the boards have slightly different dimensions that would create an uneven surface. Always use one brand throughout the deck surface.
Both handle Spokane's snow load well when installed over a properly framed deck. The boards themselves are not the structural element; the frame carries the snow load. Neither brand has a meaningful advantage over the other in snow performance on a correctly built deck.
We bring samples to the on-site estimate so you can see the actual boards in your lighting conditions and against your house. Call (509) 778-6621 to schedule a visit. Local building supply stores in Spokane Valley also carry display boards if you want to see them before calling.
We built this operation around one idea: a deck is a structural investment, not a cosmetic one, and it deserves the same care you would put into any other part of your home. We work across Spokane, South Hill, Five Mile Prairie, Mead, and the Spokane Valley. Every build gets a permit, pressure-treated or composite framing rated for the Pacific Northwest, and a final inspection before we call the job done. We give you a flat written estimate after the site visit and we stand behind the work with a workmanship warranty.
