We replaced wood damaged by woodpeckers with azek trim and hung some fake owls in the area, but the woodpeckers have already destroyed the trim. It was expensive and A LOT of work so we are frustrated. Any other ways to keep woodpeckers away?

Spray the wood with an insecticide. Woodpeckers are looking for insects in the wood to eat.
Well, the woodpeckers are looking for bugs so your first step would be to eradicate the bugs.
I keep birds away by hanging some old CDs outside. The reflection from the sun scares them off
It's hard to break their habit of going to that location for a snack. Mylar strips might help, a dog might help. If you're sure there are no bugs to eat then it might just take time for the birds to figure out there's no food there
