Bob Kiefer, founder of Decks by Kiefer

Established in 1975

Decks by Kiefer was established in 1975 by Bob Kiefer, a master craftsman whose roots in the field of landscape architecture enable him to approach his custom deck projects from a unique design perspective. From concept to completion, Bob is personally involved in every aspect of each project Decks by Kiefer undertakes.

Multi-level decks, decks with built-in seating, raised decks, porches, pergolas, and trellises, are just a few of the designs that Decks by Kiefer specializes in. Our decks are available in ipe and other fine woods, as well as innovative synthetic alternatives. Amenities such as outdoor kitchens, firepits and fireplaces, spas, bars and entertainment areas, are also a specialty.

Our Design Philosophy

At Decks by Kiefer, we believe that outdoor living spaces should be an extension of your home, not just an addition. Our approach combines:

  • Architectural Integration: Every deck is designed to complement your home's existing architecture and style
  • Natural Harmony: We work with your property's natural features, not against them
  • Quality Materials: We use only the finest woods and materials, including Ipe and other premium options
  • Custom Solutions: No two projects are alike - each deck is uniquely designed for your specific needs
  • Attention to Detail: From the initial design to the final finishing touches, every detail matters
