Custom Decks & Composite Decking
The part of a deck you can see can last decades. The part you cannot see — ledger flashing, footings, joist protection — is what decides whether it lasts at all.
When to call us about decking
- Spongy boards, exposed fasteners, or splintering surface
- A ledger board bolted to the house without flashing (the #1 collapse cause)
- Wobbling rails or stairs that fail current code
- A deck that gets too hot, too dark, or is unusable after 8 PM
- Annual staining and sealing you are tired of doing

Decking in your city
Local building departments, local housing stock, local weather patterns — every market in Northeast Ohio has its own quirks. Here is what we know about yours.
Decking — questions we get asked
Composite or wood?
Composite costs more up front and less over ten years — no staining, no splintering, no annual sealing. Cedar is warmer underfoot and beautiful, but it is a maintenance commitment. We price both so the trade-off is yours to make.
