[quote=Anonymous]Not sure why, but hardwood decks aren't popular in the DC area. I have an Ipe deck and it looks amazing. The only thing is that you have to clean it and stain it every year. Even after 6-9 months it sometimes starts to look shabby. It also depends on what kind of look you are going for. Most houses in this area, even 1-2 mil houses are plain Jane and have no character. For your average house, I would probably go with a PVC/Trex type deck because it's a lot easier to maintain. And most contractors in this area don't know how to install a hardwood deck, so I opted to DIY the job and it was kind of time consuming. [/quote]
