The settlement provides for three tiers depending on the severity of the problem. The lowest tier provides a cash payment of $150, the middle and top tier provide certificated (40% and 50% respectively) for a discount off Trex products and partial labor reimbursement … on the off chance that having just discovered you wood alternative decking has fungal issues that your solution is to purchase more products from the same company.
