TimberTech Deck Cost by State

From $42 to $105 per square foot installed, which is the widest range of any brand on this site — because TimberTech sells two different materials under one name. On a 16x20 deck at 320 square feet, that is roughly $13,440 for an Edge Prime+ composite build and up to $33,600 for AZEK Harvest PVC. The middle of the range, Pro Legacy at $58 per square foot, lands near $18,600. Before comparing a TimberTech quote with anyone else's, establish which material it is for: Edge and Pro are capped wood-fibre composite, anything branded AZEK is 100% cellular PVC, and the step between them is 20 to 30%. Then apply your state's labour multiplier, which runs from about 0.92x in the South to 1.28x on the West Coast; the boards themselves cost roughly the same everywhere.

They are the same company and the same catalogue, but not the same material, and the distinction is the single most useful thing to know about this brand. TimberTech Edge Prime+ and Pro Legacy are capped composites — wood fibre and plastic with a protective outer layer — priced at $42 and $58 per square foot installed. Anything sold as AZEK, meaning Vintage, Harvest and Arbor, is cellular PVC with no wood content at all, from $72 to $88. The PVC lines do not absorb water, run roughly 10 degrees cooler in the same colour, resist scratching better, and carry a 50-year structural warranty against 30 years on the composite lines. What they do not do is feel like wood underfoot, which is exactly why the composite lines still exist. Neither is the upgrade of the other; they are different answers.

In three specific situations, clearly yes. Near saltwater, because PVC does not absorb moisture and salt air has nothing to work on. In extreme heat with dark colours, because PVC runs about 10 degrees cooler than capped composite at the same colour depth. And on a deck you intend to keep for decades, because the 50-year structural warranty against 30 on the composite lines is a real difference over that horizon. Outside those cases the honest answer is that it is a preference purchase. The step from Pro Legacy at $58 per square foot to AZEK Vintage at $72 is about $4,500 on a 320 square foot deck, and what it buys is longevity you may not be there to use and a surface texture that some people prefer and others find less convincing than a wood-fibre board. Price both, then decide on the three tests above rather than on the brochure.

Pro Legacy at $58 per square foot installed, for most builds. Edge Prime+ at $42 is the cheapest way into the brand and a genuinely competitive board against Trex Enhance at $38, but it is the entry tier and it looks like it beside the premium lines. AZEK Vintage at $72 buys PVC properties that most decks in most climates do not need. Pro Legacy sits between them with premium composite graining, a 30-year fade warranty, and a price roughly 20% under the PVC lines. The exception is a deck that will take real punishment — poolside, coastal, or full sun with dark boards — where skipping straight to AZEK Vintage is better value than paying twice, because the composite that fails early costs more than the PVC that did not.

Not on the same surface, and the reason is mechanical rather than aesthetic. Both brands use proprietary hidden fasteners — TimberTech CONCEALoc at roughly $85 per box for about 50 square feet, Trex Universal at about $89 for similar coverage — and the board grooves they clip into are dimensioned differently. Mixing the systems on one board run produces gaps that vary visibly along the deck, and both manufacturers treat a mixed-fastener installation as grounds to decline a warranty claim. The cap textures also differ enough between brands that even similarly named colours read as a seam under raking light. Where mixing does work is between elements rather than within them: a TimberTech deck surface with a different brand's railing is common, provided the railing is installed to its own manufacturer's instructions and you accept that the colours will be a near-match rather than exact.
