What makes us special

We use tropical hardwood for both the frame and the deck. All other companies use pressure treated wood for the structure, which means your deck will only last half as long as the one we build. Tropical hardwood is the only wood that can resist rot, mildew and decay, and it should be used for every step of the deck building process. As direct importers we can guarantee best prices so you can feel confident that you are getting a high quality deck at the best possible price.
