Steve just finished an ipe wood deck on top of my steel frame & just wanted to recommend him to anyone out there looking for similar work! Not only was he the lowest estimate that I received, but he was professional, timely & did meticulous work. Two thumbs up. His contact info is: steve@urbanexteriors.biz

I would also recommend Steve. He did a great job and was enjoyable to work with. We spoke with a number of others and he was by the far the most personable and responsive to emails/calls from me and my wife.
