What is included in a Trex deck project
- ●Design: a free site visit, then a written, itemized proposal.
- ●Permits and engineering: we prepare the plans and submit them to LADBS or your city's building department. See our Los Angeles deck permit guide.
- ●Framing and decking: a frame sized for your site, with Trex boards in the line and color you choose.
- ●Railing: cable, glass, aluminum or composite railing built to California code.
- ●Extras: steps, lighting, built-in benches and planters, and patio covers for shade.
Trex decks in Los Angeles: heat, hillsides and fire zones
- ●Heat: in the San Fernando Valley and other hot areas, lighter Trex colors stay cooler underfoot, and a patio cover adds shade.
- ●Hillside lots: sloped lots usually need a soils report and engineered foundations. See hillside decks.
- ●Fire zones: in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, decks must meet California Building Code Chapter 7A. We choose boards and framing that meet the rules for your address.
- ●Cost: the Trex line, the railing, the height of the deck and the site set the price. See what a custom deck costs in Los Angeles.
We build Trex decks across our service areas, including the San Fernando Valley.
