Exhibit 4.1

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated as of February 26, 2013, among TREX COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”); the lenders party hereto (each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”); and BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 6, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”), and they now desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement as provided herein.

The Borrower has requested that the Lenders temporarily increase the aggregate Revolver Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from $100,000,000 to $125,000,000 for the period from the date hereof through and including June 30, 2013, and the Lenders have agreed to such temporary increase on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment.

Accordingly, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows:

1. Capitalized Terms; Effective Date. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, all amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth herein shall be effective as of the date of this Amendment.

2. Credit Agreement Amendments. The following provisions of the Credit Agreement are amended as follows:

2.1. Revolver Commitment. The definition of “Revolver Commitment” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Revolver Commitment” means, with respect to each Lender, (i) the applicable amount set forth opposite the name of such Lender on the signature pages to the First Amendment, or (ii) as to any Lender which enters into an Assignment and Assumption (whether as transferor Lender or as assignee thereunder), the amount of such Lender’s Revolver Commitment after giving effect to such Assignment and Assumption, in each case as such amount may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.08 and 2.09, and as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.14.

2.2. New Definitions. New definitions of “Excess Availability Percentage” and “First Amendment” are added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement to read as follows:

“Excess Availability Percentage” means, as of any date of determination thereof by the Administrative Agent, a fraction, the numerator of which is an

amount equal to (i) the Borrowing Base, less (ii) the outstanding principal amount of all Advances, and less (iii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding, and the denominator of which is an amount equal to the Borrowing Base.

“First Amendment” means the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 26, 2013, among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, which amends certain provisions of this Agreement.
