Answers to the questions we hear most.
Decks, remodels, warranties, permits, and pricing.
What is a composite deck?
A composite deck generally means a deck constructed of a treated wood frame with composite decking. Composite decking is made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic materials. Unlike traditional wood decks, composite decking resists rot, warping, and insect damage while requiring minimal maintenance. Brands like Trex offer composite decking with 25+ year warranties, making them an excellent long-term investment for Cincinnati homeowners.
How much does a composite deck cost in Cincinnati?
Composite deck costs in Cincinnati typically range from $15,000 for a 12'x16' deck to $27,000 for an 18'x20' deck, including all materials, labor, permits, and installation. The price can vary significantly depending on the specific material used. While composite decks cost more upfront than wood decks, they save money long-term by eliminating annual staining and maintenance expenses.
Do composite decks need maintenance?
Composite decks require minimal maintenance compared to wood decks. You only need to clean your composite deck 2-3 times per year with soap and water. No staining, sealing, or painting is required. This makes composite decking ideal for busy Cincinnati families who want to enjoy their deck rather than work on it.
How long do composite decks last in Ohio?
Quality composite decks like Trex can last 25-30+ years in Ohio's climate with proper care. They withstand freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and temperature extremes better than wood decks, which typically last only 10-15 years. Most composite decking comes with fade and stain warranties of 25 years or more.
What warranty do you offer on construction?
We provide a comprehensive 3-year workmanship warranty on all of our installations. This covers any issues related to our construction and installation. On decks, manufacturer warranties from Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK cover fade, stain, and structural performance for 25 years or more.
Do I need a permit for my project in Cincinnati?
Most deck installations and most remodeling work that changes structural, electrical, or plumbing systems in Cincinnati and surrounding areas require building permits. We handle all permit applications and ensure your project meets local building codes. Permit requirements vary by location, project size, and scope. Our pricing includes permit fees for standard installations.
Do you handle kitchen, bath, and basement projects too?
Yes. In addition to decks, we handle full kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and basement finishing across the Greater Cincinnati area. We coordinate plumbing, electrical, and inspections in-house or with our trusted partners so you have one point of contact through the project.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines depend heavily on scope. A typical deck build runs 1-3 weeks of on-site work after permits clear. Bathroom remodels typically run 2-5 weeks. Kitchen remodels and basement finishes are usually 4-10 weeks depending on whether plumbing or layout changes are involved. We give you a project-specific timeline as part of every quote.
