Customer Reviews
So much info (and a few laughs)
Learn from some of the most passionate guys in the industry while having a few laughs along the way. What’s new, what’s mistakes not to make and #WWWD - you never know where this is gonna go but you will leave with a smile on your face and a little (or a lot) more knowledgeable
Never knew there where so many options!
These podcast are a must if you are going to use composite! These dudes are pretty entertaining too. I like the fact that they don’t pick one brand as the absolute best choice.
Two thumbs up!
A great resource for anyone who wants to get educated on decks. (All 5 of us! Ha ha .. Just kidding. :p) In all seriousness, I’d recommend this podcast to any homeowner who’s planning to build a deck, or any contractor in the field. You guys break things down in a clear and straightforward way. I especially appreciated the non-biased test of different board temps in the sun.. more stuff like that to compare products on the market would be great. Thanks guys, keep up the good work!
