Identify the vertical perimeter material.
Ask the provider to name the actual fascia or trim product. Keep its profile and finish identifiable alongside the walking-surface selection.

Decks in Edgewood, WA.
Decks in Edgewood selected around a finished outside edge should specify the perimeter fascia separately from the walking boards. Ask which actual product forms that vertical trim and how its attachment is matched to the material.
Evergreen Home Pro helps you carry the deck’s edge finish into the construction proposal. Compare the visible perimeter treatment with the chosen surface instead of assuming one board selection describes both.
Deck construction
Specify the perimeter trim and its attachment separately.
Trex’s 2026 installation guide distinguishes fascia products from decking used as trim and limits certain fascia fasteners to specified fascia profiles. Ask the qualified provider to use the guidance for the actual selected component.
Match attachment to the selected component.
Have the provider confirm the product-specific fastener arrangement. Similar color does not establish that trim and walking boards use the same attachment instructions.
Discuss the finished edge layout.
Show the provider the perimeter areas you want covered and any exposed transitions. Have the proposed edge treatment described in the assessed deck scope.
Before work begins
Describe the surface and perimeter construction for review.
Check Edgewood’s current permit guidance for the intended deck work. Have the applicant distinguish any new construction from a proposed finish change.
Ask how the selected fascia and supporting construction are represented in the project documents. Confirm any assessed work needed at the perimeter before the finish is ordered.
