WHAT IS A TREXPRO PLATINUM BUILDER?

Trex is the world’s leading brand of composite decking, renowned for its eco-friendly, ultra-durable products. To ensure their materials are installed correctly, Trex created a rigorous certification program for contractors. The "Platinum" tier is the highest level of recognition awarded. It signifies that the builder has achieved advanced product training, demonstrated exceptional installation skills over numerous projects, and consistently maintained outstanding customer satisfaction ratings.

THE BENEFITS OF ELITE CERTIFICATION

Choosing a contractor with this elite status provides homeowners with distinct advantages that standard builders simply cannot offer.

Unmatched Expertise and Precision

• Composite materials require specific handling and installation techniques that differ significantly from traditional wood.

• Platinum builders possess intimate knowledge of the entire Trex product line, ensuring materials are utilized exactly as engineered.

• They utilize hidden fastening systems flawlessly, resulting in a smooth, hardware-free surface that is safe for bare feet.

• Their extensive experience means projects are completed efficiently, minimizing disruptions to your daily life without sacrificing an ounce of quality.

Superior Warranty Protection

• Perhaps the most significant benefit of hiring a TrexPro Platinum builder is the enhanced peace of mind regarding warranties.

• Trex materials already come with a robust 25-Year Limited Residential Warranty against fading and staining.

However, when installed by a Platinum-certified professional, homeowners often qualify for extended labor warranties. This means if an issue arises due to installation, the labor to repair or replace the materials is covered, protecting your financial investment completely.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Does hiring a certified Platinum builder cost more?

A: You can easily verify a contractor's certification level by searching for them directly on the official Trex website's "Find a Builder" directory.
