TimberTech Decking in DuPage County and the NW Suburbs
TimberTech decking, installed across DuPage County and the northwest suburbs. We fit the full range, from the capped composite lines to the solid PVC boards.
No obligation and no pressure. We walk the yard, talk through options, and give you a written price.
Quick answer
TimberTech runs $55 to $80 per square foot installed in capped composite and $65 to $90 in PVC. Both carry a 25 to 50 year warranty and wash-only upkeep. Its PVC boards carry the AZEK name. We bring samples of both to your estimate so you can compare them in your own light. Get a free estimate.
What TimberTech does better
The longest warranties in the category
TimberTech coverage runs up to 50 years on its premium lines. Read as cost per year rather than cost per board, that changes the maths on a deck you plan to keep.
Cooler underfoot than most composite
Their PVC products run noticeably cooler in direct sun than standard capped composite. On a west-facing deck that is the difference between using it in August and not.
The most convincing wood look
Their premium multi-tone boards hold up to close inspection better than almost anything else in composite. If the fake-wood look has put you off before, look at these.
TimberTech, AZEK and how the range fits together
One brand, two different products
This is the part that confuses people, so it is worth being plain about it.
TimberTech sells capped composite and capped PVC. The composite lines have a wood-flour and plastic core with a hard shell, like most of the category. The PVC lines have no wood in them at all, weigh less, and run cooler.
AZEK is the name on the PVC line. It is not a separate company. When somebody says "AZEK deck" they mean TimberTech's all-PVC product. We give it its own page because it is a genuinely different board at a different price, not because it is a different manufacturer.
Where TimberTech beats the value brands
Two places, honestly.
Heat. If your deck faces west or south with no shade, TimberTech's PVC lines are the most comfortable surface you can put down. Color still matters, so pair a light board with PVC and you have the coolest combination available.
Warranty length. Fifty years on the premium lines is the top of the category.
Where it does not beat them is price. Entry-line Trex is usually cheaper into capped composite, and for a shaded deck that difference is real money for little practical loss.
Installation is where the warranty lives or dies
TimberTech publishes joist spacing, fastener and gapping requirements, and they are not suggestions. Boards need room to move with temperature, and PVC in particular expands more than composite does.
Get the gapping wrong and boards buckle in July. Get the spacing wrong and the deck feels soft underfoot. Both are installer errors, and both can void coverage.
We frame in pressure-treated to the spacing TimberTech specifies, gap to their figures for the install temperature, and set footings below the frost line at your village's depth.
How a TimberTech deck build runs
Free on-site estimate
We measure and look hard at sun exposure, because with TimberTech that is what decides composite versus PVC. We bring real samples in both.
Composite or PVC, then color
We price both so you can see what the PVC premium actually costs on your deck rather than in the abstract.
Permit, footings and frame
Filed with your village, dug to code depth, framed in pressure-treated at TimberTech's specified joist spacing.
Boards, gapping and walkthrough
Boards gapped to the manufacturer's figures for the install temperature, trim and fascia finished, site cleaned, then a walkthrough with you.

TimberTech decking questions
Is AZEK the same as TimberTech?
AZEK is TimberTech's premium PVC line, not a separate company. TimberTech sells capped composite and capped PVC, and the PVC products carry the AZEK name. So an AZEK deck is a TimberTech deck, but a TimberTech deck is not necessarily AZEK.
How much does a TimberTech deck cost?
TimberTech composite typically lands around $60 to $85 per square foot installed here, and the AZEK PVC lines run higher. Height, stairs and railings move the number more than the board does. That is a typical range and not a quote. Full detail in the 2026 deck cost guide.
Is TimberTech better than Trex?
Not across the board. TimberTech wins on heat and warranty length. Trex usually wins on price and name recognition. For a shaded deck the practical difference is small enough that color preference is a reasonable tiebreaker. See Trex vs TimberTech.
Do you hold a TimberTech installer badge?
No. We do not hold a manufacturer badge and will not claim one. We install TimberTech regularly and follow their published spacing, fastener and gapping requirements, which is the part that actually protects your warranty.
Does TimberTech decking get hot?
Less than most capped composite, and their PVC lines least of all. Color still matters as much as material, so a light PVC board is the coolest thing you can put on a deck that faces west with no shade.
How long does TimberTech decking last?
Warranties run 30 to 50 years by line against fading, staining and structural failure. As with any composite, the frame underneath decides real-world life, which is why we build the structure to the manufacturer's specification rather than to whatever is quickest.
