This builder used very poor quality of wood for our new deck. Many of the posts have split quickly and the pickets have bowed. He has been back out twice to replace bad wood. We used the sealer that he recommened and now our entire deck is moldy and contains a lot of mildew. Our deck is only 9 months old and will probably not last us two years before we will have to rebuild it. Before you spend $5,000 on a new deck, check other builders and ask where they buy their lumber. We would not recommend this builder.
