Online Pricing: We added a pricing page 2 years ago to much success, you can visit this page get sample pricing on some more or less standard deck sizes, you can also contact us from this page to receive pricing for a non standard or custom fit deck designs based on your pictures and sketches. We can work with you on your deck design and get you a online quote many times just from your pictures and sketches. We can also come out to your site and confirm measurements even when you are busy. Ipe (ironwood) Decking: Deck specialists Inc. pioneered Ipe decks several years ago and we are proud of all the fantastic Ipe decks we have completed. Ipe continues to be the premier Outdoor deck material. Ipe lumber price continues to climb but we are doing our best to maintain both supply and reasonable costs. At this time Ipe is still the best high end material buy. Composite Decking: composite decking have been around for quite a few years now, and many improvements have been realized, as third and forth generations of popular products reach market, overall quality of the boards it much higher then the original products firsts released and newer products coming to the market also share these innovations. Appearance: both in surface graining, color and overall consistency is much better. Strength and overall stiffness is much improved (still, joists should be closer together then normal 12" rather then 16" but less sagging is realized.) permanent staining and heat transfer are still issues but strides have been made. Most composites are still very expensive and we feel Ipe the better buy at this point but we are glad to see these composite lumber improvements. #1 Pressure Treated Framing: We are
proud to use only #1 grade hand selected Vinyl Lumber: We are entering our 5th season with our current high end vinyl lumber supplier. We could not be happier with the quality and looks of this material, we feel it the finest in the field and we purchase the material by the truck load exclusively for our railings. Procell news: Procell technology has been purchased by Azek, also cellular PVC boards are being offered from Cellek and Trex.
