How does the cost of TimberTech Pro compare to Trex Enhance in NB?

Both TimberTech Pro and Trex Enhance fall into the mid-range composite category, and in New Brunswick you can expect to pay roughly $45-65/sq ft installed for either product — making them very close competitors in terms of price.

The difference in material cost between the two is usually modest — often just $2-5/sq ft in raw materials — and the bigger variable in your final price will be your contractor's labour rate, site conditions, and the complexity of your deck design. A 12x16 deck (192 sq ft) in either product would typically land in the $8,600-$12,500 range for a straightforward build in the Moncton, Fredericton, or Saint John area.

Where they differ is more about product characteristics than price. Trex Enhance is Trex's entry-level composite line — it's a solid performer, widely available through NB lumber yards, and backed by Trex's 25-year warranty. It's a great choice if you want composite's low-maintenance benefits without stretching to premium pricing. TimberTech Pro sits a step above in terms of capping technology — it uses a four-sided polymer shell around the wood-composite core, which gives it slightly better resistance to moisture absorption and staining. In NB's humid Maritime climate, that extra moisture protection is genuinely worth considering, especially for decks facing north or in shaded areas where mildew is a concern.

For New Brunswick specifically, both products handle our freeze-thaw cycles well — far better than wood — but there's one installation detail your contractor must get right regardless of brand: composite decking requires joists spaced at 12" on centre, not the standard 16" OC used for pressure-treated lumber. If a contractor quotes you composite on existing 16" OC framing without addressing this, that's a red flag. The framing upgrade adds cost but is non-negotiable for proper performance.

A practical tip: ask your contractor to get quotes on both products side by side. Because Trex has broader distribution in NB, it's sometimes easier to source quickly, which can matter if you're trying to get a deck done before the summer season. TimberTech is well-stocked too, but lead times can vary depending on colour and profile.

Both are excellent choices for a low-maintenance NB deck. If budget is the priority, Trex Enhance delivers strong value. If you want the extra moisture-resistance and a slightly more refined look, TimberTech Pro is worth the modest price difference.
