Your home is your castle

Whether buying or selling a home, or adding to its beauty and value with interior or exterior amenities, you look for the top products and services to accomplish the task. The fine companies featured here have the products, services and expertise to complete the sale — or design project — and meet your most ambitious goals.

Bring All the Comforts of Home Outside

Trex low-maintenance decking, railing, fencing and trim offer a natural beauty and inviting style that no other brand can match. Unlike wood, Trex materials will never rot, warp or splinter. And you’ll never have to sand or stain them. So you’ll spend more time relaxing on your deck instead of working on it. Our suite of outdoor living products are also available in the broadest range of color, style and finish options, giving you the flexibility to design a look that’s perfect for your home.

But Trex products won’t just improve the look of your home — they’ll improve the value. On average, more than 90 percent of the cost of a composite deck is recouped at home resale, making it one of the best investments you can make for your home.

What’s more, Trex has been in backyards for over 16 years, the longest record of proven performance in the industry. No wonder Trex is asked for by more customers, contractors and architects than any other brand.

So go ahead. Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home … outside. For great design ideas, or to find a retailer near you, visit trex.com.

The gloom that has settled in many sectors of the Long Island real-estate industry is nowhere to be found at Netter Real Estate. The #1 independent broker in terms of sales volume in Suffolk County, according to the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island, Netter offers a positive mental attitude combined with a strong handle on today’s market.
