Question: Do homeowners prefer to install natural wood decks or composite (Trex) decks?
Top Answer (43% of 39 votes): Composite (trex) decks.

Answer: Composite (trex) decks
Explanation: Composite decks are low-maintenance and resistant to warping, cracking, and splintering. They do not require annual sealing, staining, or painting like traditional wood decks. This can be especially beneficial in the Chicago area, where freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and hot summer temperatures can contribute to moisture damage, movement, and deterioration in wood decking, leading to more frequent maintenance and, eventually, repairs or replacement.
