Trex & Composite Deck Builder in Longmont, Colorado
Composite decking is the right material for Longmont’s climate. High-altitude UV, freeze-thaw cycles and dry summers crack, cup and gray wood decks within a few seasons. A Trex deck doesn’t need sanding, staining or sealing, and it won’t splinter. We build the whole deck, not just the surface boards, so the framing underneath lasts as long as the composite on top.
Trex Product Lines We Build With
- Trex Transcend — the premium line, with the deepest wood-grain texture and the widest color range. Transcend Lineage colors are built to run cooler in direct sun, which matters on south- and west-facing Longmont decks.
- Trex Select — mid-range capped composite with a clean, simple look.
- Trex Enhance — the entry capped composite line, for homeowners who want low maintenance at a lower price point.
- Other composites and PVC — we also build with TimberTech and other capped composite and PVC boards when they suit the project better.

Why Longmont Homeowners Hire a General Contractor for a Deck
A deck that ties into the house touches the siding, flashing, doors and sometimes the roofline. As a licensed general contractor that also does siding, roofing and windows, we flash the ledger correctly and repair whatever the old deck damaged, without bringing in a second trade. We’ve been in construction for 30 years and in business in Longmont since 2014.
How Much Does a Trex Deck Cost in Longmont?
Decks start at $75 per square foot installed. Price depends on size, height off the ground, the Trex line, railing style and stairs. A low ground-level deck in Trex Enhance costs far less than a second-story Transcend deck with glass railing. We give a written, itemized estimate after measuring on site, at no charge.
Common Questions About Trex Decks in Longmont
Do you build Trex decks in Longmont, CO?
Yes. Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. builds Trex Transcend, Select and Enhance decks in Longmont and across Boulder County, including footings, framing, railings, stairs and permits.
Is composite decking better than wood in Colorado?
For most Front Range homes, yes. Colorado’s UV and freeze-thaw cycles crack and gray wood decks quickly. Capped composite like Trex resists fading, staining and splintering and never needs sanding or sealing.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Longmont?
Most attached decks and decks over a certain height need a building permit in Longmont. We pull the permit and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
How long does it take to build a Trex deck?
A typical deck takes one to three weeks of work once materials and the permit are in hand. Larger or multi-level decks take longer.
Can you replace just the boards on my old deck with Trex?
Sometimes. If the existing framing is sound and spaced correctly for composite, we can resurface it. If the joists are rotted or spaced too wide, we rebuild the frame so the new boards don’t sag.
