Natural Look, Lasting Strength—Custom Wood Decks

Wood Deck Building in Ohio – Cedar & Pressure-Treated

Custom Framing, Real Lumber, Lasting Results

Cedar & Pressure-Treated Decks Built From the Ground Up

We start every wood deck with a strong foundation—framed, leveled, and anchored for years of use. Then we install your choice of surface boards, from kiln-dried cedar to ground-contact rated treated lumber. Each cut is measured to fit, sealed properly, and fastened cleanly. Whether it's a platform deck, wraparound build, or multi-tier layout, you’ll get a natural wood look and a solid build.

Wood That Works—For Looks, Strength & Budget

What’s Included in Our Wood Deck Construction

We handle the full build—from structural framing and footings to stairs, railing, and finish work. Every board is selected for grade and installed with care. Our team stains, seals, and finishes your deck (if requested), or leaves it natural for you to customize later.

  • Choice of cedar or pressure-treated wood surfaces

  • Treated framing and code-compliant fasteners included

  • Optional staining, sealing, or trim finishing offered

Ohio Weather Demands the Right Build

Framed to Withstand Moisture, Heat & Freeze Cycles

Ohio’s changing seasons put pressure on deck materials—and framing is where it all starts. We use pressure-treated joists, beams, and footings rated for ground contact and moisture exposure. Our crews space boards for expansion, seal cuts to prevent rot, and secure every joint with rust-resistant fasteners. The result? A deck that handles snow, heat, and humidity without warping or shifting.

Natural Style, Custom Touches

Add Railings, Lighting & Details That Make It Yours

A wood deck offers a warm, natural look—but it’s the details that make it feel complete. We offer matching wood or metal railings, custom stairs, lighting, and privacy options. Want a built-in bench, planter box, or a spot for the grill? We’ll include it in the layout. With clear wood grain, clean cuts, and tight finishes, you get a deck that looks intentional and lives beautifully.

Stained, Sealed or Left Natural

Finish Options That Match Your Use & Style

We build wood decks to last—but the finish helps them stay beautiful. Cedar offers natural rot resistance and rich grain, while treated lumber provides strength at a lower cost. Both options can be left natural, sealed, or stained in the color of your choice. We’ll help you weigh upkeep, appearance, and budget so your deck fits your lifestyle—without surprise maintenance.

Everything You Need to Know About Wood Decks

FAQs About Cedar & Pressure-Treated Decks in Ohio

Here’s what Ohio homeowners often ask when comparing wood deck options and planning a new build.

What’s the difference between cedar and treated lumber?

Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and has a rich color, while pressure-treated lumber is chemically treated for durability and often more budget-friendly.

How long do wood decks last in Ohio?

With proper sealing and care, cedar can last 15–25 years; treated wood decks often last 20+ years with minimal upkeep.

Do I need to seal or stain my wood deck?

We recommend sealing within the first 6–12 months to protect against moisture and sun damage—especially in Ohio’s variable climate.

Can you resurface an old wood deck?

Yes, if the framing is still sound. We can replace deck boards, add new stairs or railing, and refresh the surface.
