Old Rotting Deck Replaced with a Trex Cinnamon Cove Build

Here's what we were working with before we started - a worn-out wood deck that had clearly seen better days. The boards were grayed out, soft in spots, and the whole structure had that lived-in look that goes past charming and straight into safety concern. That's usually the tipping point for most homeowners. They stop using the deck because they don't fully trust it anymore.

We tore it out and rebuilt from the ground up using Trex composite decking in Cinnamon Cove with a Toasted Sand border. That two-tone combination gives the deck a finished, intentional look - it's not just one flat color across the whole surface. The warm brown tones of the Cinnamon Cove boards pop against that lighter border, and the whole thing sits cleanly on a white-painted fascia that gives the deck a polished, almost built-in appearance from the yard.

For the railing, we went with black aluminum. It's a strong contrast against the warm deck tones, and it keeps the yard view fully open. No bulk, no visual clutter. Just clean vertical lines that frame the space without boxing it in. From the aerial view, you can really see how open and usable the full deck footprint is.

One of the biggest reasons homeowners choose Trex over wood is the long-term maintenance factor. No staining. No sealing. No worrying about rot or splinters. Composite holds its color and structure for years without the upkeep that wood demands. That's a real difference - especially if the old deck was already taking up weekends just to keep it looking decent.

Whether you've got a deck that's past its useful life or you're starting fresh with nothing back there at all, this is the kind of work we do well. The combination of materials, the color pairing, the railing choice - all of it gets thought through before a single board goes down.
