    Beautiful use of Cumaru on this project! We couldn't agree more on the characteristics you described. It ultimately is a good alternative to ipe when price is a strong factor.

    At our local Home Depot the Transcend which is the premium Trex that tries to mimic the hardwood decking costs $55.30 for a 1x6x12. Our price for for a 1x6x12 Cumaru board is $26.89. Hope that helps let us know if you would like a free sample.

    We don't typically have a list of installers these are some of the hardest woods on earth therefore it does take a skilled carpenter to install them correctly. Not all carpenters have the experience or are willing to go the extra mile to build a hardwood deck with species like Ipe or Cumaru which have proven to last up to 75 years. Also most composite products offer their preferred contractors kick backs and incentives for using their materials so that's why you are finding so many contractors that will only install those materials. We do not sell any composites for now however because we have yet to find one that lives up to their claims of low maintenance. In fact if you Google "deck brand reviews and complaints" you will be reading for days and you can do that for every brand. Composites are typically easier to install because they are soft however we do offer hidden fasteners which cuts installation time in half opposed to pre-drilling and face screwing. Keep searching and I'm sure you can find some skilled contractors that would be willing to install these beautiful hardwoods. We know there are some in Philadelphia that install hardwoods but not sure if they would travel that far to you.
