A Great Choice to Add Value to Your Home

Homeowners continue to look for lower cost ways to enhance their home’s value by upgrading, expanding or adding a new deck. When building decks with composite materials, on average more than 90% of the cost is recouped at the time the home is sold.

More Time Relaxing. Less Time Maintaining.

Henry Poor carries Trex, the leader in high-performance wood alternatives including composite decking, railing, fencing, and trim products. Decks and railings made from these materials require minimal maintenance, will not warp or splinter, and offer superior beauty and comfort. As a result you will spend more time relaxing on your deck than time maintaining it.

In Stock, Ready To Go

Henry Poor stocks the popular Trex Accent and Contours decking, and the Trex Artisan Series railing. These products afford a homeowner a variety of colors, design flexibility, and durability backed by a 25 year warranty.

To learn more about the extensive Trex product offering contact a Henry Poor Specialist.

Windsor Windows & Doors, from casements to sliding patio doors, are constructed with the highest grade materials, hardware and glass. The result is a window or door you’ll be proud to put in your home.

As your exclusive local Windsor products dealer, contact your Henry Poor Lumber Specialist to help find the window or door that fits your specific needs.
