Ridiculously high prices here Inflation is bad enough now days but...a $1600 set up fee for a 4ft long Ipe dowel 2" in diameter is just stupid. What a rip off! I wouldn't recommend this company if your looking for an honest value.

I bought a $20k IPE wood package from… NO WARRANTY. I bought a $20k IPE wood package from Advantage Lumber for all of 17x80 deck. It has been on for three years and treated with their expensive IPE oil every year. The deck started cracking all over with small splitting cracks. I spoke with advantage lumber today and was told their is no warranty on the wood. I had a wood professional look at the deck and he told me the wood was never dried properly. Now I have a $40k deck that looks like crap and no warranty from Advange. Would I buy something more from them again? You figure that one out. Very very disappointed. Too costly to replace again.

Good and Bad - BLACK ipe Good and Bad. We had a large shipment and everything went great with zero waste or issues. The next order to finish the project was about half the size and maybe 25% was unusable mainly due to color as IPE was BLACK, and way outside the normal variation we typically see and way outside color of other 90% of the job. Totally understand it is a natural product, not our first project over last 20 years of construction! They are not helping , so having to order some wood to finish from somewhere else. Seal and Heidi Klum looked beautiful together, but Black wood next to light not so pretty.

People make the difference People make the difference, the gal in the office and the gentleman in the warehouse couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating and friendly. Will be back first certain. Received the free t-shirt, thank you.

Modular Ipe Wood Tiles Re; Ipe Wood Tiles 24" and 20" Positive: Great Product and great Staff! Not so Positive: my suggestion is to double check the trimming closeness of the subsurface battens in the ipe tiles so that when assembled the gaps are consistant from tile to tile. Some tile battens were not trimmed flush to the edge of the ipe planks and thus threw-off the alignment (gap) between some of the modules. This is an issue that can be corrected through the quality control/inspection process. Thanks, Marc
