Decks with 3 Brothers Building Co.
A well-built deck extends your living space outdoors: a place to grill, eat, relax, and gather from spring through fall. In Ohio, decks also have to stand up to freeze-thaw winters, summer humidity, and years of foot traffic, so the parts you don't see matter just as much as the boards on top.
We build new decks and replace worn-out ones, with attention to the structure underneath: footings, framing, connections to the house, stairs, and railings.
What a deck project can include
- Planning size, shape, height, and stair locations
- Removal of an existing deck when replacing
- Footings and structural framing
- Ledger attachment to the home where applicable
- Decking in wood or composite materials
- Stairs and code-compliant railings
- Coordination of permits as required
Every project is different. Your written quote will spell out exactly what's included in yours.
What's underneath counts
Deck safety comes down to the structure: footings set to proper depth for frost, correctly sized beams and joists, appropriate hardware, and a properly flashed and fastened connection to the house when the deck attaches. These details are where we focus, because they're what keeps a deck solid for years.
Wood or composite?
Pressure-treated wood is a common, budget-friendly choice and can be stained or sealed. Composite decking costs more up front but typically needs less ongoing maintenance. We'll talk through the trade-offs so you can choose what fits how you'll use the deck and how much upkeep you want.
Designing for how you'll use it
Think about where the sun hits in the evening, where the grill goes, how many people you want to seat, and how the deck connects to the yard. A little planning makes the difference between a deck you use every day and one that sits empty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Many Ohio communities require permits for decks, especially attached or raised decks. Requirements vary by city and county, and we'll talk through what yours needs.
Can you replace my old deck?
Yes. We can remove an existing deck and build a new one. If the existing structure is sound, we'll talk about options, but we won't put new boards on a frame that isn't safe.
Wood or composite: which is better?
Neither is better for everyone. Wood generally costs less up front; composite typically requires less maintenance. We'll help you compare.
