Two years ago I was looking at a Deck Specialist and thought to myself: “self, how cool would it be to have a project featured on the cover of this magazine!” Over those two years we’ve built a great partnership with RDI Railing an Oldcastle APG Brand - Thomas J. Wieczorek | Photographer and Kent + Frost Landscape Architecture - I never would have imagined those being imperative parts of getting a project on the cover of the industry’s leading magazine. I’m humbled and reminded how fortunate we are at ICOR - and how imperative the quality of your work - but more importantly, the quality of the people you have around you are to your success. A huge thank you to RDI, Deck Specialists Magazine, TJW Photography and of course the men that made it happen Joshua Taylor Smith-McLean Steven Meakem Mason Hanna Nick Michael B and Anthony Alwil- And a big shout out to Lainie Sleppin , Decks & Docks Jake Reno MoistureShield Decking & Railing (soon to be Deckorators®) for making this project possible! This is such an amazing milestone and I hope all of you know this couldn’t have been done without you- each of you held such a big role in this project and should be incredibly proud of your accomplishments! I’m grateful that our paths crossed and we had the opportunity to build something amazing together- to make it even more special, this was a donated project for our community! Doesn’t get any better that! Check out the latest digital issue of Deck Specialist Magazine here: https://issuu.com/building-products/docs/deck_specialist_july_august_2026?ff And of course- a huge THANK YOU to RDI for nominating us as Deck Specialist of the Year! I am so honored and grateful to have the opportunity to have ICOR recognized at that level! Amazing products and an amazing team!
