01
“It’s too hard to work with.”
Hardwood isn’t difficult—it just requires the right tools and techniques.
That density is what delivers decades of performance.
02
“The boards don’t match.”
Natural color variation isn’t a defect—it’s proof you’re working with
real wood, not plastic lookalikes.
03
“You don’t need to acclimate it.”
Every wood moves. Skipping acclimation is one of the fastest ways to
create preventable issues.
04
“It’s high maintenance.”
Structurally, hardwood requires virtually no maintenance.
Color upkeep is optional—and simple.
05
“Damaged boards can’t be replaced.”
Hardwood is actually one of the easiest decking materials
to repair discreetly over time.
06
“It warps and cups.”
Cupping isn’t a wood problem—it’s an airflow and drainage problem.
Installation matters.
07
“It cracks as it dries.”
Minor surface checking is normal, cosmetic, and easily minimized
with proper handling.
08
