Deck Builders

Custom Deck Building in Columbus, Ohio

We design and build cedar, composite, and hardwood decks across Central Ohio, including Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators systems. Because we build both wood and composite, the recommendation can follow the house, maintenance expectations, and budget instead of a default product.

The scope

What we build

  • Composite decks in Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators systems
  • Cedar and hardwood decks
  • Attached, freestanding, elevated, and multi-level decks
  • Privacy walls, screens, and covered deck coordination
  • Railings, stairs, lighting, and built-in seating
  • Multi-level decks and deck-to-patio combinations

The investment

What drives the cost

Two decks with the same footprint can land far apart on price. What actually moves the number:

  • Material: cedar, composite lines, and hardwoods all price differently
  • Height and structure: an elevated deck needs more framing and stairs
  • Railings, which surprise people as a share of the budget
  • Built-ins: benches, planters, lighting, privacy walls
  • A pergola or roof structure coordinated above the deck
  • Site access and old-deck teardown

01

Typical timeline

Most decks move from construction start to completion in days or a few weeks after design, selections, permits, and scheduling are settled. Elevated structures, extensive stairs, integrated covers, demolition, and difficult access can extend the build. The reliable schedule comes after the existing conditions and scope are confirmed.

02

Materials

Composite has earned its place in Ohio: no staining, consistent color, and strong warranties from Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators. Cedar still wins on natural feel and upfront cost, and it asks for maintenance in return. We walk you through the honest tradeoffs, the same advice we give on-site.

03

Permits and inspections

Attached decks and most elevated decks need permits and inspections around Central Ohio, and structural details like footers, ledger attachment, and railing heights are exactly what inspectors look at. Our structural detail passes inspection the first time, and we handle the paperwork.
