CorrectDeck vs. Trex....???
Comments (4)If you live in a high moisture area I would definately not recommend CorrectDeck, although now they carry an anti-fungal board, and I cannot comment on that. I believe I should have been advised by the manufaturer or contractor that my deck might be suseptible to mold. Unfortunatly, I was not and now I am stuck with this deck, I should look into a legal action against them, I'm so furstrated that I invested all of this money for a less maintenance deck and got a deck that I have to continuously clean with bleach/water solution (the only product I found to kill the mold) and then within a week or two the mold starts reapparing, it looks horrible....See MoreTimberTech Earthwoods experience & Railing???

Comments (9)So in reading it sounded like TimberTech is generally considered to be a decent product and possibly Azek. True? Which TimberTech product are you looking at? I've been very happy with XLM on my deck. It's very hard and doesn't scratch or stain. It's PVC so it pretty much does look like plastic - though it has a faux woodgrain finish on one side. I think Azek is also PVC so it is probably comparable. I also looked at CorrectDeck CX and it looked good - not sure if it is still available. Is there anything particularly tricky about installing either of these or can my good GC do the job? I would think just about anybody could do it - I used the same contractor that did my porch, siding, and roof. You do need to do something with the ends of the boards because you can see the "structure" - picture frame or something. They make a matching fascia board for this and that is what I used. I also used the hidden fasteners and grooved boards. Approximately what is the cost of this material compared with others? I think I paid $3.XX per board-foot - but that was several years ago. It was more expensive than composite....See Morecomposite deck TimberTech Legacy v.s. deckorator vault
