Kevin Choquette, Ravin Builders, "Your outdoor space is supposed to be your worry-free haven; a place to relax and entertain. No homeowner should have to be concerned about the safety of their friends and family when enjoying time on their deck."         
 
Bob Lett, Wolf Home Products, "We need to bring awareness to the fact that decks, porches and docks need to be inspected and determine what repairs need to be accomplished in order to keep our citizens safe. So many people believe that these structures last forever and don’t understand what the elements do to these structures. Check, inspect, repair or replace!"  
 
Andrew Pantelides, Regal Ideas Inc., "Deck Safety is an important part of our company values and mission. Being able to advocate this message to homeowners and retailers across the nation is our duty as a manufacturers and industry leaders" Read More
 
Jon Witt, Deck Protect Inc., "Don't wait for the warning light to come on. Be proactive with a regular maintenance plan."
 
Gordon South, Wood Bully Ltd, "I highly encourage pulling permits when required, not only to protect your investment but to protect your family and loved ones from the dangers of shoddy work. Meeting the necessary code will help to offer that peace of mind."
 
Raymond Degidio, Decks By Jalex LLC, "My favorite part about my job is making decks to suit each customer, everyone should be able to enjoy their outdoor living space and not have to worry about if their family is safe or not or if someone is going to get hurt."
 
Kyle Blindauer, Color Guard Inc, "NADRA's deck safety initiative is important to Color Guard because safety is always our primary focus. We want the industry and our customers to know that we are committed to manufacturing a safe and sturdy product as well as standing behind industry safety initiatives."
 
Feeney Sales Team, Feeney, Inc, "Decks are meant to enhance our outdoor living experience and by regularly inspecting your deck and committing to high standards in railing installation, you can help to ensure it’s safe for years to come."
 
Matthew Thompson, StoneDeks System, "NADRA's deck safety initiative is core to our business because it's the top concern and priority of all of our customers. To put stone on a deck requires your deck framing to meet all local codes, so that's where deck safety comes in as being of the utmost importance."
