Want a low-maintenance composite deck that still looks high-end?
Chicago Luxury Decks designs and builds custom luxury decks using Trex composite decking across Chicago and the suburbs, giving you a beautiful deck with less work and more time outside.
Trex is one of the best-known names in composite decking, made from a mix of reclaimed wood and recycled plastic. It’s designed to resist fading, staining, and mold, and it won’t splinter like traditional wood, which makes it ideal for busy families and outdoor entertaining.
In Chicago’s climate—with snow, ice, rain, and hot summers—Trex composite decking gives you a deck that stays good-looking with far less maintenance than cedar or pressure-treated lumber. You get the look of wood, without the yearly sanding, staining, and sealing.


Trex’s composite boards are made to resist rot, insect damage, and warping. We use Trex for Chicago decks where clients want low maintenance, solid performance, and a clean look that holds up over time.
Colors, Railings & Borders
We’ll guide you through Trex color choices, board patterns, and railings—from modern black metal railings to more traditional looks. Picture-frame borders, inlays, and stair details can give your deck a custom, luxury feel without overcomplicating maintenance.
Great for Backyards and Rooftops
We install Trex decks in Chicago backyards, on garage-top decks, and on rooftop spaces. The goal is always the same: a strong frame, proper drainage, and a Trex surface that’s easy to clean and comfortable underfoot.
Maintenance – Trex composite decking doesn’t need yearly staining or sealing like wood. A simple wash is usually enough to keep it looking good.
Weather Resistance – Trex is built to handle moisture and temperature swings better than many wood boards, helping reduce warping, cracking, and splinters.
Long-Term Cost – Trex typically costs more upfront than basic wood, but you save on maintenance and enjoy a deck that looks newer for longer.
Appearance – Modern Trex lines offer natural-looking colors and grain patterns, so you can get a rich, “luxury deck” look with less upkeep.

How long does a Trex deck last?
Trex decks are designed for long life and, when properly installed and maintained, can last for decades, giving you consistent performance without the typical wear and tear of wood.
Is Trex good for Chicago rooftop or garage-top decks?
Yes. Trex is a strong choice for rooftop and garage-top decks because it offers low maintenance and consistent performance in exposed conditions, where access for repairs is more difficult.
Is Trex slippery in winter?
Like any exterior surface, snow and ice can make it slippery, but when kept clear, Trex boards are designed with textures that provide traction similar to or better than many sealed wood decks.
Can Trex be installed over my existing frame?
In some cases, yes—but we inspect your current framing first. Many older wood frames don’t meet current code or are too weathered to safely support new composite decking, so we’ll make a recommendation after a site visit.
