Wood or Trex Transcend?
There is a cost difference between wood and Trex Transcend. When looking long term at these two options, the return on investment is about 3-4 years. Trex Transcend will require no painting, staining, sealing or any other yearly upkeep to keep the deck looking beautiful. Typically, a wood deck loses value or requires upkeep after the first year. Trex Transcend will require only periodic cleaning, and backed by the 25 year Fade and Stain warranty, Transcend will last much longer than traditional wood.
