TimberTech Deck Cost Guide

TimberTech Decking Installation Cost & Price Guide

TimberTech decking is on the short list for most homeowners as they consider composite decking brands for their outdoor living project.

Contractors often recommend it to because it beautifully mimics the rich texture of wood, offers durable quality and is backed by very good warranties.

The company makes three lines: TimberTech Pro, TimberTech Edge and TimberTech AZEK. This guide covers Edge and Pro, which are wood composite decking in “basic and better” grades.

We’ve reviewed TimberTech AZEK all-PVC decking in a separate guide. AZEK is considered, at least in terms of cost, as TimberTech’s best decking.

TimberTech: The Brand

TimberTech is an AZEK Company brand. Headquartered in Chicago, AZEK calls itself, “an industry leader of premium building products that replace traditional materials and provide value through lower maintenance, refined aesthetics and reduced total cost.”

We read that to mean AZEK/TimberTech replace genuine wood materials, as far as decking is concerned, with decking made from recycled wood and resins or from recycled PVC plastic.

Recycled Content: TimberTech says that its products contain “up to 95% recycled content” with the goal of changing “up to” to “at least” in the next few years. To that end, AZEK/TimberTech opened its own plastics recycling plant in 2019 with expected output of 55 million pounds of recycled plastic.

TimberTech production facilities are also re-fitted to more efficiently use electricity, heat, air conditioning and water. The company claims that 1 million+ trees have been saved through using recycled rather than virgin wood.

Global Sales: TimberTech decking is sold in more than 55 countries around the world. Uses TimberTech decking is used for standard deck construction, above ground pool decks, gazebos and similar projects, TimberTech Decks can also be referenced or known as “Tech Decks“.


TimberTech Pro and Edge Lines

These are TimberTech’s composite decking brands. AZEK is pure PVC.

As noted, from a price standpoint, these are Basic and Better lines, AZEK being the most expensive line.

The lines are discussed here. A pricing table for comparison is below.

Basic TimberTech Decking: Edge

This is the most affordable TimberTech decking. What reduces cost is that it is capped on three sides – top and both sides, but not on the bottom of each plank. Pro is capped on all four sides.

Capped? The cap is a layer of dense, very tough resin material that resists wear, scratches, gouges and moisture penetration.

It is crucial to have the top and sides capped, for obvious reasons. Leaving the bottom of the planks uncapped saves cost while having only a slight impact on durability.

TimberTech Edge is available in two lines: Prime and Premier.

Edge Prime is the most affordable TimberTech decking.

Edge Premier is a slightly higher grade of TimberTech Edge composite decking.

Edge Collection Premier Prime+ Prime
Texture TimberTech Edge Premier TimberTech Edge Prime+ TimberTech Edge Prime

Colors:

  • Prime is currently made in two colors, a rich reddish brown and a dark gray.
  • Premier comes in 4 colors – the same two offered in Prime plus a sandy buff and a lighter gray.

Features: Capped on three sides with a 100% synthetic, waterproof layer. The cap also easily repels stains, since it is plastic and non-absorbent.

Board Profiles: Both TimberTech Edge Prime and Premier boards are 5.36 inches wide.

You have two plank style options.

Squared shoulder planks are produced in 16’ and 20’ lengths. Grooved planks are available in 12’, 16’ and 20’ lengths.

Accessories: 12”x12’ deck fascia and 7.25”x12’ stair risers are available in both lines.

Warranty: 25-year Fade & Stain warranty. 25-year residential and 10-year Structural warranty.

Better TimberTech Decking: Pro

This is the better of the two wood composite lines. Price ranges from slightly less than AZEK to about the same, depending on the line.

TimberTech Pro decking is capped on all four sides for better moisture protection. For that reason, plus richer texturing and color variegation in some lines, makes the cost higher than TimberTech Edge.

Pro Collection Legacy Reserve Terrain
Texture TimberTech Pro Legacy TimberTech Pro Reserve TimberTech Pro Terrain

Colors: There are three collections in the Pro decking.

  • Terrain ($$) has dual-embossed wood grain pattern. It is made in two variegated/blended and three monochromatic/single colors.
  • Tropical ($$) features a “cathedral” wood grain pattern. You have four variegated color choices.
  • Legacy ($$$) shows, according to TimberTech, “Infinitely-variable wood grain pattern with hand-scraped finish.” It is manufactured in seven variegated colors. TimberTech says, “No two boards are alike.” This premium color variegation accounts for the higher cost.

Note: As you shop or search for TimberTech Pro decking, you might see them marketed as the Terrain Collection by TimberTech, Tropical Collection by TimberTech and the Legacy Collection by TimberTech.

Features: Capped on all side with tough polymer to resist moisture.

Board Profiles: The two profiles are full and scalloped. The scalloped or grooved boards are slightly lighter and easier to work with. They also allow for the use of concealed fasteners.

Board Profile – Full Board Profile – Scalloped
TimberTech Board Profile - Full TimberTech Board Profile - Scalloped

Accessories: Several fastening options including concealed fasteners.

TimberTech Edge fascia and risers are typically used with Pro decking.

Warranties: 30-year Fade & Stain warranty. 30-year Structural warranty. For commercial use, there is a 10-year Structural warranty.





TimberTech Pro and Edge Decking Costs

When discussing material costs for your deck, there is more to consider than just the price of the decking boards. Those boards are attached to a deck frame that is typically made of pressure-treated lumber.

Whether your deck will have rails and stairs must be considered. Of course, fasteners and other supplies like concrete for securing posts, if needed, must be included.

TimberTech Pro and Edge Pricing Table

TimberTech Decking Prices Cost/linear ft.
Cost/square ft.
Edge Prime $2.40 – $2.65 $5.70 – $6.50
Edge Premier $3.10 – $3.25 $6.85 – $7.50

*To determine deck board cost per square foot, multiply the width times the length and divide by 144 to get the number of square feet in the board. Then divide board cost by square feet.

How to Get the Best Price on a TimberTech Deck

If you’re going to hire pros for the work, it’s always good to get three or more estimates from deck contractors that know they’re competing.

Learn about each company you’re considering. Read online reviews, for example, or check their standing with the Better Business Bureau.

Make sure the deck contractors you talk with are licensed and insured for your protection.

The low bid might not be the best bid to take, because it might not meet these criteria. The “sweet spot” is to find an experienced deck contractor with fair pricing and a track record of quality craftsmanship and responsiveness to customer concerns.

About Azek Decking

As a brand, Azek Decking is now connected to TimberTech, which, the company boasts, has changed the direction of Azek to be “even more customer-focused” than before.

Options: Azek, now that it is conjoined with TimberTech, consists of more decking styles, colors, and designs, “all to help you create the most amazing outdoor living space.” With its available resources and decking feature packages, Azek is among the top decking brands on the market. Azek decking price is also above average.

Recycled material: Azek has set out to replace the traditional deck materials, such as wood and metal, with a sturdy synthetic plastic that is more environmentally friendly.

As a whole, customers are pleased with using Azek, sharing how their decks still look new a year later–by which time cheap wood might start to appear weathered. Because of customer satisfaction and how easy it is to work with the material, even deck contractors express their appreciation Azek’s PVC.

Homeowners are assured foot safety (Azek’s materials cannot splinter), a limited lifetime warranty, and easy deck maintenance. For more on the warranty and maintenance, see “Deck Styles” and “Azek Decking Line” below.

 See this link on how Azek PVC compares with wood and wood composite.


Azek Decking Styles

Azek has three specific decking styles to choose from: Vintage, Arbor, and Harvest. All three are comprised of capped polymer (recycled polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, which is a plastic that has the appearance of wood) with various grain options to offer a unique look for a homeowner’s choice deck. For customer satisfaction, Azek also pledges a 50-year fade and stain warranty.

Capped polymer is made to be long-lasting, and therefore resistant to staining, fading, scratching, and denting. It is also satisfactory in hot weather, as it dissipates the heat faster than wood or capped composite decking.

Below is a list of the current deck color options available for each Azek Deck style (subject to change):

TimberTech AZEK Decking Harvest





Azek Decking Line

Azek is a premium brand through TimberTech, which means it does not use the Good-Better-Best tiered quality options common with other leading brands. All its lines are considered in the “Best” category – and with the quality comes the higher cost of Azek decking.

Maintenance: PVC is relatively low maintenance, only requiring a periodic cleaning to retain the original beauty of the deck. For optimal cleaning, Azek recommends using a hose or power washer with its TimberTech DeckCleaner and a stiff, natural fiber brush. The cleaner should be used for spot cleaning, being thoroughly rinsed from each area before moving onto the next.

For more on Azek deck maintenance, refer to this site.

Achieving the Best Price for TimberTech AZEK Decks

In the case that you plan on having your deck professionally installed, here are a few helpful tips for achieving the most affordable price:

  1. Ask more than one deck contractor for a quote on the deck. Comparing quotes will allow you to navigate the best prices for the type of deck and deck features you are looking for.
  2. Tell the professional deck contractors that they are competing for work. This way, they will be less likely to take shortcuts or over-price you.
  3. Do not settle on the cheapest bidder without first looking into the company’s quality of work. The lowest quote may be tempting, but it could mean that the quality of the deck is lacking. In this case, the cheap price will feel nice at first, but the deck may not look up to your standards, and it may cost you more in the long run due to unforeseen issues.

Get the Most Value Out of Your Deck

Adding a deck to the house will increase the value of the house, presuming the deck is properly cared for. If the homeowner has the space and desire, building a deck can be in the homeowner’s best interest.

However, a word for the wise: while a deck does add value to the house, some may think that a deck addition just prior to selling the house will mean more profit on the sale. This is not the case.

The most recent national Cost to Value survey from Remodeling Magazine pegs the ROI of a composite deck at 69%. If you spend $20,000 on an Azek deck, you can expect the project to increase your home’s potential sale price by about $13,900. You’ll lose money if you sell the house immediately.

So, build a deck for your enjoyment. If you do sell your home at some future point, a good-looking TimberTech Azek deck will certainly be a selling point.
