Decks by Kiefer works with Ipe, cedar, and premium composite materials from manufacturers including TimberTech and AZEK. As a direct Ipe importer, Bob has access to premium-grade hardwood at pricing no competitor can offer.
Curved decks require a higher level of precision at every stage, from the structural framing to the surface installation. Each board or material must be cut, bent, or shaped to follow the curve without compromising the integrity of the structure.
Ipe is one of the best materials for curved deck builds because of its density, strength, and workability in the hands of an experienced craftsman. Composite materials can also be used, depending on the radius of the curve and the specific product.
Decks by Kiefer builds custom pergolas in a range of styles, including traditional open-beam designs, louvered pergolas with adjustable shade control, and covered pergola structures that provide full weather protection. Intex louvered pergola systems are available for homeowners who want motorized shade and rain protection.
A louvered pergola features adjustable roof slats that can be opened for sunlight or closed for shade and rain protection, giving you control over your outdoor environment in any weather. Motorized systems allow you to adjust the louvers with the touch of a button.
A pergola is an open or semi-open structure with a beam-and-rafter roof that provides partial shade and architectural interest. A gazebo is a fully roofed, freestanding structure that provides complete overhead protection and typically has a more defined, enclosed form.
A covered porch provides overhead protection from sun and rain while remaining open on the sides, extending your usable outdoor space in most weather conditions. A screened porch adds mesh or retractable screen panels to the sides, keeping insects out while maintaining airflow and an open-air feel.
A three-season room is designed for use in spring, summer, and fall, with screened or glass panels that provide weather protection without full climate control. A four-season room is fully insulated and climate-controlled, making it a comfortable living space year-round regardless of temperature.
Ipe is one of the hardest, most durable, and most beautiful hardwoods available for outdoor construction. It is naturally resistant to rot, insects, fire, and weathering without any chemical treatment, and it can last 40 to 75 years with proper care. Bob Kiefer has built his reputation on Ipe because no other wood delivers the same combination of performance, longevity, and visual impact.
Decks by Kiefer works with TimberTech and AZEK, two of the most respected composite decking manufacturers available. These products offer the appearance of natural wood with significantly lower maintenance requirements.
Ipe is one of the densest and most durable hardwoods on the planet, with a lifespan of 40 to 75 years when properly maintained. Composite decking offers strong performance and low maintenance, but does not match Ipe’s natural density, strength, or longevity. If you are weighing both options, Bob can walk you through the trade-offs during your consultation.

Yes, Decks by Kiefer installs Shade FX retractable screen systems, which allow you to open or close your screened porch depending on the weather and your preferences. Retractable screens give you the flexibility of an open porch and a screened enclosure in one structure.
Deck lighting at Decks by Kiefer is designed into the structure of your outdoor space, not added as an afterthought. Options include recessed deck lights, post cap lighting, stair lighting, and under-rail lighting that extends the usability of your space into the evening hours.
Decks by Kiefer installs custom railings from Feeney and Cable Bullet, two of the most respected names in deck railing systems. Cable railing is a popular choice for homeowners who want to preserve sightlines while adding a clean, modern aesthetic to their outdoor space. Traditional and custom railing designs are also available to complement a more classic or architectural look.
An underdeck ceiling system is installed beneath the decking surface to capture and redirect water away from the space below, turning the area under your deck into a dry, usable outdoor room. Decks by Kiefer installs these systems as part of new deck builds and as additions to existing structures. The result is additional covered square footage that can be used for storage, seating, or a covered patio area.
