Our Work
Why Platinum Decking in Champaign?
A deck can be so much more than a place to store your grill or patio furniture. We believe your deck can be a work of art and an extension of your home. As your local Central Illinois deck builder, Platinum Decking will help you and your family to enjoy the beauty of outdoor living by simply walking out the back door.
With over 40 years of combined experience in the construction industry and overseeing hundreds of deck projects, our team has seen what works and what does not. For instance, staining wood decks simply do not hold up against our Midwest winters. Therefore, families often find themselves straining their wood decks every other year and spending more time and money than desired.
In conclusion, we believe Trex Composite Decks are not only a smart financial investment but also have unparalleled beauty and design that will empower you to enjoy your backyard like never before. Above all, we want to earn your business and the title of; your local deck builder.

How Long do Composite Decks Last in Central Illinois?
Resistant to the elements, rotting, insect infestation, and any other natural cause of deterioration, composite boards are proven to last a minimum of 25-30 years – typically spanning much longer with our quality workmanship. The main reason composite decking reigns supreme in construction services is its ultra-durability; not only maintaining structure over time but also like-new coloration, even when building pool decks or around hot tubs. In fact, maintaining its coloration is one of the main emphases of the manufacturer’s warranty.
Trex provides the highest-quality composite boards on the market. Each Trex deck comes standard with a 25-year fade and stain manufacturer warranty. As a Trex Pro Platinum builder, Trex extends a 10-year labor warranty for every Trex deck built by Platinum Decking. They know we get the job done right every time. As your preferred deck builder in Indy and the surrounding areas, Platinum Decking and Trex stand behind all of our work on your outdoor living space.

Trex Decking Products – Champaign
Platinum Decking is also a custom deck installer, using Trex’s products. Trex offers four different product lines for deck building in Carmel, Indiana: Transcend, Select, Enhance Naturals and Enhance Basics. These Central Illinois decks are all made out of the same composite materials, developed through years of experience.
Trex Transcend is the top-rated composite decking material offered on the market today in the Indianapolis area. Not only is it the most scratch-resistant, but the deep wood grain and its luxury colors blow every other composite decking brand and line out of the water. It will turn homeowners’ high-maintenance wood decks into low-maintenance quality works of art with lasting beauty in Indy. When investing in a 25+ year deck, Transcend is considered the Rolls-Royce of home improvement. Transcend is offered in 10 different colors and is stain-resistant, fade-resistant, scratch-resistant, and mold-resistant. Simply put, it is the best deck product in the composite decking market.
Trex Select is a very traditional option offered by Trex. It is stain resistant and comes in 5 different colors. It still has a 25-year warranty like all Trex decking but is not the best option to use when building a pool deck and is the most susceptible to scratching and fading, even in Champaign, Urbana, St. Joseph, Mahomet, Rantol, Seymour, and Savoy, Illinois.
Trex Enhance Naturals is a more affordable option that still features high-quality workmanship, and multi-colored boards to help hide any stains or scratches the boards may endure over time. It is a great option for almost any outdoor living space.
Trex Enhance Basics has the low maintenance benefits of composite decking at a comparable cost to wood. It comes in 3 different colors, is stain resistant, fade resistant, and mold resistant. It is a popular option amongst many craftsmen and local deck contractors.

Composite vs. Wood Decks
Builders at Platinum Decking are also deck builders who do not only build new decks – we can also resurface and transform your existing deck into a beautiful new outdoor living area in no time. This transformation will not only make your old deck look new, but it will also reduce your annual maintenance cost in deck staining and deck repairs (saving money over the long run, and increasing customer satisfaction!). Call us today for a free estimate!
Unlike wood decks that require annual or bi-annual deck staining and periodic deck repair, Trex’s low-maintenance composite deck needs only a simple power wash/clean to maintain its absolute beauty! Composite decks are very low maintenance. However, a Trex deck only requires an annual hose down and cleaning. Traditional wood decks will begin to fade and stain in the first few years. A Trex deck has a 25-year fade and stain warranty. Unlike composite decks, wood decks are susceptible to various insect and wildlife damage. This can lead to structural damage and safety hazards. Composite decks will never rot or splinter. This creates a safe place to walk or play on, thanks to Trex’s deck design.
Composite Decking Materials
Ask our design specialist what composite decking materials they recommend for the function you’re looking to get out of your new deck in Champaign, IL. There are some decking materials that are meant to withstand heavy foot traffic, and some for less-harsh activity. Also, there are boards built for climate-specific regions that have more or less seasonal extremes, like here in Indy. There are even materials displaying a more modern look versus those with a more traditional feel. What is best for your home improvement is all dependent on the vision you have for your deck. Your custom deck contractor will know what materials are available in the variety you’re looking for, in different price quotes, and can best help steer you in the right direction to increase your home’s value. We can even provide built-in deck lighting as well.
Repetition and Experience are Key
When you do the same thing 5 times, you’re naturally going to be better at it the 5th than the 1st. The same goes for the 50th time compared to the 5th. Point is, the more Trex decks by design someone builds, the higher the quality, craftsmanship, know-how, and efficiency going into the project will be. We do not use subcontractors, as all of our work is produced in-house by the best deck builders in Fishers. When construction companies provide a lot of varying services, it’s tough for the typical craftsman to become expert-level in one specific trade, such as decking building, and typically will not build a high quality deck. That being said, Platinum Decking specializes in decking installation and deck building in Champaign, and will naturally provide a more polished experience for you, as well as expert-quality workmanship.
Deck Building Experience and Reviews
Another important aspect homeowners in Central Illinois should look into when hiring a deck contractor for their outdoor living space is their years of experience and history of customer satisfaction. The easiest way to confirm that your local pro is going to provide the experience and warranty you’re looking for is by digging into their past-clients reviews of their deck installation and deck repair work. Does your local deck builder have online reviews, completed project photos, or references willing to discuss their experience, or are they just a handyman who has built a wood deck in the past? Understanding if your expectations of your deck contractor will match the experience they’re able to provide is an easy way to go into your project with confidence. Whether in Champaign, Urbana, St. Joseph, Mahomet, Rantol, Seymour, or Savoy, Illinois, Platinum Decking
will take care of all of your composite decking needs, and has a ton of reviews on Google and other sites to prove it.

Is Trex Decking recycled?
For every 500-square feet, Trex composite deck built, 140,000 plastic bags are used and saved from going into our local landfill. Surfacing your deck with Trex composite decking materials is one of the most eco-friendly options for your home improvement renovations. Trex is one of the largest plastic recyclers in America, saving more than 500 million pounds of plastic and wood from landfills annually. Their composite boards for outdoor structures are 95% recycled plastic and wood, with the remaining 5% being necessary binding agents. This ingenuity provides a unique and innovative way to take part in sustainable manufacturing. These products are a lot better for the planet than a traditional wood deck.
For example, The average 16-foot Trex board contains recycled material from approximately 2,250 plastic bags. As noted on their website, Trex runs through a few examples of how much of an impact just one composite deck can make on waste management and the environment.
