The next few photos are of Bill & Laurie O’Connor’s Ipe deck and porch.
Their address is 8111 Chars Landing Ct., Springfield, VA 22153. They have
been kind enough to become references for us.

The O’Connor’s
were looking for
something a little
different. They
wanted low maintenance… but they
also loved the rich,
warm look of real
wood. They chose
Ipe flooring and an
Ipe kneewall
around the porch.

But not wanting
what their
neighbors have,
they opted for a
custom Fairway
Vinyl Railing
with an Ipe cap
and spindle balusters. They had
us install lighting
on all the railing
4x4s for a beautiful look at
night. We encased almost everything in white vinyl including the stair
risers, stair carriages, beams and 6x6 support posts below. Ipe (or
Massaranduba) does take annual maintenance… but nothing like pressure treated. Ask your Designer for more information.
