Composite & Trex Care

TrexPro Platinum Contractor

Composite decking is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. We clean and maintain Trex Transcend, Enhance and Lineage composite decking as well as other composite brands, keeping surfaces free of mildew and algae buildup. We don't repair existing composite decks — if yours has structural damage, we'll build you a brand-new Trex deck from the ground up as a certified TrexPro Platinum contractor.

Mold and mildew on composite decking is usually a moisture problem, not a defect — it shows up most on older, uncapped composite boards that lack a protective outer shell. Early-generation composite typically needs a composite-safe cleaner and a semi-annual cleaning schedule, while current high-performance lines like Trex Transcend, Enhance and Lineage generally only need soap and water or a gentle wash. In every case, too much pressure from a power washer can permanently damage uncapped composite decking, so we scale our approach to the specific product on your deck.

As a TrexPro Platinum contractor — the highest level of Trex contractor recognition — we design and build custom Trex decks from the ground up, including matched Trex skirting for a seamless look between the deck and the ground below.

Common Questions

Composite & Trex Questions We Hear a Lot

As a TrexPro Platinum contractor, these are the questions Michigan homeowners ask us most about composite decking.

Why does mold grow on my composite deck?
It's almost always a moisture issue rather than a manufacturing defect, and it's most common on older, uncapped composite boards without a protective outer shell. Mildew and algae need moisture and organic debris to take hold, so decks under trees or in shaded, poorly ventilated spots tend to need cleaning more often.
Can I pressure wash my Trex deck myself?
Carefully — too much pressure can permanently damage uncapped composite decking. If you do it yourself, use low pressure, a wide-fan nozzle, and a manufacturer-approved cleaner; for older or uncapped boards, soap and water with a soft bristle brush is the safer route.
Do composite decks ever need staining?
No — that's one of the main advantages of composite decking. Trex and similar composite materials don't require staining, sealing or sanding the way wood does; they just need periodic cleaning to stay looking new.
What if my composite deck has structural damage?
We don't repair existing composite decking. If your composite deck has structural issues, the right fix is a new deck, and as a TrexPro Platinum contractor we can design and build a custom Trex deck from the ground up to replace it.
