New builds, tired old decks, soft boards near the ledger, railings with a wobble, stairs that make you grab for something on the way down. We've walked into all of it around central Ohio — and we'll tell you straight what's actually worth doing.

About the work
From the patio door it can look fine. Then you walk out to the far corner and feel it give a little under your weight. Could be a footing that heaved over the winter. Could be a ledger that never got flashed right. Could be framing that's just done its time and nobody noticed.
Ohio doesn't go easy on wood either — soaked springs, sticky July heat, then a winter that freezes the ground solid and shoves everything around. That freeze-thaw is what works footings loose when they weren't set below the frost line to begin with.
We build custom decks, tear out and replace the ones past saving, fix the sections that can still be saved, set railings, run composite or wood, screened-in porches, pergolas, staining and sealing, and commercial deck work.
What you can expect
What you notice is the surface — the boards, the railing, the stairs you walk up. What you don't notice is everything carrying it: footings, joist hangers, ledger bolts, flashing, beam connections, the small calls that decide whether it still feels solid ten years out.
So we'd rather get specific before a single board gets ordered. Walk the yard. Look at how the house sits. Poke at the old deck if there's one still standing. Ask whether you're grilling for four or hosting twenty. Then you get a real scope instead of a round number with half the details left out.
Yard drops off toward the back fence? We'll bring it up. Old frame turns out worse once we're into it? You'll hear about it, not after the invoice lands. And if a repair gets you there without a full rebuild, we'll say so.
No interest in making it complicated. We're here to build it right and move on.
Our Services
Somewhere to sit, grill, and step straight out the back without a second thought. Built to your yard and your house and the way you actually use the space — stairs where they make sense, shade, a little privacy from the neighbors, water draining away from the house instead of toward it.
We look before we patch anything. Joists, posts, the ledger, the hardware, where water's been sitting, any movement underfoot. A small fix does the job, great. If it won't, we'll show you why instead of screwing new boards over an old problem.
Soft boards, worn stairs, rot creeping into the frame — at some point chasing it costs more than starting over. We pull the old one, haul it off, and rebuild, which is also the moment to fix a layout that never quite worked.
Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon. We'll walk you through texture, color, how hot a board gets in full August sun, and where each one lands on price — so you're not deciding off a two-inch sample under store lighting.
Pressure-treated pine, cedar, and the give-and-take with each. Looks like wood because it is, runs cheaper than most composite, and holds up for years when it's built right and you don't ignore it.
Shade and a breeze without mosquitoes running dinner off the table. Framing, screen, doors, trim, the roofline — built to look like it came with the house instead of bolted on over a long weekend.
For when a deck or patio sits too open to enjoy at four in the afternoon. Attached or standing on its own, cedar or treated lumber, sized to throw shade without eating the whole backyard.
Clean it, prep it, then finish it. The prep is the part everyone skips — and if the surface isn't ready, the stain won't grab the way it should, and you'll see it by next summer.
A railing should feel locked in, not “should hold.” Wood, composite, aluminum, cable, glass. The look matters; what it's anchored to matters more.
Restaurants, bars, offices, apartment buildings, event spaces. Built for crowds, inspections, code, and timelines that can't keep sliding.
Chairs dragged a hundred times a night, people leaning back on two legs, spills, sun, rain off the awning. We build patios for that — not for one clean photo on opening day.
Tenants don't baby a deck the way an owner would. Heavier framing, materials that take abuse, railings that stay put, and a schedule that doesn't tie up the property longer than it has to.
A loose railing or cracked board at a business isn't just an eyesore — it's liability. We handle worn decking, weak stairs, bad railing, and rot before somebody has to rope the area off.

Why people hire us
Cheap deck work tends to show its age fast, even when it looks sharp the day the crew pulls out. What we'd rather be known for: showing up, building it solid, keeping the job moving, and not leaving you with a mess or a pile of half-answers.
How we build decks
Footings have to be set right, and around here that means below the frost line so winter can't lift them. Posts set and supported. Beams sized to carry the load. Joists spaced correctly. Hangers, fasteners, blocking, flashing, ledger attachment — all of it has to make sense together.
This is where the bad work hides. A deck can wear a beautiful top board and still be wrong underneath where nobody's looking.
Full-Service Deck Builders
No lining up one guy for the frame, a second for the railing, and a third for the stain. Same outfit, start to finish.
The quote spells out the work, the materials, and the scope. Want to change something mid-stream? We price it before we touch it.
When we repair a deck, we read it like the people who'd have built it — not just whoever happens to be handy with a screw gun.
Picky about materials
Some boards come off the stack straight and clean. Some are bowed like a fishing rod, some split, some twisted, some carrying a fat knot right where you don't want one. We sort what actually goes on the deck.
Twists, cracks, wrong crown, splits, soft spots, the obvious junk — it gets pulled before it ever ends up in the build.
A real problem turns up after we're done? We come back and take care of it. Nobody's ducking your calls.
The same crew start to finish makes a difference. They already know the plan, so the work just runs smoother.
From a basic idea to a finished deck
“We want somewhere to grill out back.” “The old deck feels off.” That's plenty to get started.
We measure what needs measuring, walk through materials and layout with you, and lay out a few options.
Real numbers, real materials, a timeline you can hold us to. Plan's locked, we get you on the schedule.
We handle the materials, the tear-out, the posts, the inspections, the debris, and working around whatever the weather decides to do.
Commercial Deck Solutions
We take on new commercial builds, patio platforms, repairs, railing work, multi-family decking, and tired outdoor structures that need to be made safe again or torn out.
Proposals stay clear and timelines stay honest. A business doesn't need vague promises — it needs the job planned right and finished without turning into a circus on the property.

Servers, scraping chairs, leaning customers.
Multi-Family Decking
Stronger framing, durable materials, secure railings.
Office & Event Spaces
Heavier use, code requirements, real timelines.
