“Thomas Decks, LLC is a professional deck/porch design and build company in Cincinnati, OH. We have constructed 2 decks for 2 of our customers using the exotic Brazilian Ipe' lumber and the Tigerwood lumber purchased from Advantage Lumber. The entire process from start to finish was a pleasure! We had quite a few questions for Advantage Lumber, and everything was answered or explained with quick replies, and always an offer to help if we needed anything else. They communicated with us constantly...when the order was filled, when it shipped out, while en route, and when we received our materials. We received everything we initially ordered, very carefully packaged.......no missing nor damaged materials. Our photos on Houzz displaying the Ipe' and the Tigerwood projects, showcases the end results. The customers are very happy, including ourselves. We have received many compliments on these 2 decks, and a lot of inquiries regarding the lumber materials. We WILL reorder with Advantage Lumber again when another customer contracts with us for a hardwood deck. Absolutely 5 stars!”
