I'm going to repave the patio in the front of the house first. Pavers have gone up also, but not nearly as much as lumber.

That's where you have to do a cost analysis, is it cheaper to use Trex and add extra support or use the lighter Azek.

Trex is fine, I've had it on one of my decks for 15 years with no issues. I just spray it down with bleach and water every few years and rinse clean.
You just have to make sure if you're putting it...

No, that house is in Waltham, Ma.
I just retired so I'm trying to convince my wife to move up to the lake full time.

I just did a deck over that I built 20 years ago. I built the frame like a rock with 2x10' so that was fine. I used Mahogany for the decking and the first 5 years I treated it with Thompson's water...

If you have a lot of shade you will get mold no matter what product you use. The only solution is to cut down trees.

Most decks that were built 20 or so years ago are probably not strong enough for composite decking, esp if the frame has deteriorated.
I built a 14' x 16' composite deck a few years ago for my son...

Azek is more slippery than wood, esp in winter when it's icy. I have two houses, one has Azek decking and the other has mahogany decking. The Azek is much more slippery, esp in winter.

That doesn't sound right. That's about what it would cost just for materials if you include the PT framing and the Sona tube footings. My son built one about the same size 2 years ago using Azek....

Azek is the best. The only problem is it's a lot heavier than wood so make sure the structural part of the deck is up to the added weight. Otherwise with snow load added it could be a problem.
