Ipe Decking in Miami and Fort Lauderdale

  Deckmasters of South Florida is the leading Ipe deck builder in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, specializing in custom Ipe deck installation throughout South Florida. Recognized as a premier builder of luxury hardwood decks, we deliver exceptional craftsmanship and precision on every Ipe project, serving Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and surrounding coastal communities.

Ipe wood is widely regarded as one of the finest tropical hardwoods available for outdoor construction. Sourced from several South American tree species within the Lapacho subgenus, Ipe is known for its extraordinary density, strength, and longevity. Its natural resistance to wood-destroying fungi, insects, moisture, and extreme weather conditions makes it a top choice for high-end outdoor decks, docks, and architectural applications.

As the #1 installer of Ipe decks in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Deckmasters of South Florida brings deep material knowledge and hands-on experience to every project. Ipe typically ranges from medium brown to deep chocolate brown, offering a consistent and refined appearance across large installations. The heartwood may display subtle greenish-yellow or banded tones, while the sapwood appears yellowish-gray. With its fine grain and smooth texture, Ipe delivers a luxurious finish often compared to Cumaru—though Ipe is notably darker and denser.

Over time, Ipe naturally weathers into a sophisticated gray-brown patina, a look many homeowners appreciate for its timeless elegance. For clients who prefer to preserve the wood’s rich original color, simple periodic oiling is all that’s required.

As a top-rated Ipe deck contractor in Boca Raton and across South Florida, Deckmasters designs and builds each project to highlight the natural beauty, structural integrity, and architectural elegance of Ipe hardwood. Whether you’re planning a waterfront Ipe deck in Fort Lauderdale or a custom Ipe deck installation in Miami, our team has the experience to execute at the highest level.

All of our Ipe hardwood is 100% FSC-certified, ensuring responsible sourcing and the long-term preservation of dry tropical forests. New Ipe showcases a rich, uniform tone that can either be maintained or allowed to age gracefully into a silver patina, depending on your design goals.

With exceptional versatility in size, span, and application, Ipe decking is ideal for decks, cladding, stairs, railings, and outdoor structures. Few materials offer the same balance of luxury, performance, and longevity. When installed correctly, Ipe elevates any outdoor space—combining natural beauty with unmatched durability.
