Deck Building in Cincinnati, OH
Kevin Manz and the MHI Construction team design and build decks for homeowners across Greater Cincinnati — solid framing, proper footings, and materials that hold up to Ohio weather. New decks, repairs, and railings. Licensed, insured, free estimates. Call 513-440-2972.
A Deck That Fits Your Home and How You Use It
Whether you want a simple platform deck off the back door or a larger space for grilling, seating, and entertaining, Kevin Manz and the MHI team help you size and place it so it feels natural with your home and yard — not just bolted on as an afterthought.
Deck building costs in Greater Cincinnati typically range from $6,000 to $30,000. A basic pressure-treated wood deck runs $6,000–$12,000. A larger composite deck with stairs and railings typically runs $15,000–$30,000. We'll walk through materials, layout, and railing options and give you a detailed written estimate before anything starts.
We also repair existing decks — sagging framing, rotted boards, failing railings, and stair replacements. If the structure is salvageable, repairs are almost always more cost-effective than a full replacement.

Our Deck Building Process
A deck is a structure, not just a weekend project. We keep it safe, solid, and code-compliant from the ground up.
Kevin Manz or our team visits your yard, reviews the grade, existing structure, and door placement, and takes proper measurements for an accurate estimate.
We walk through size, layout, railing style, stair placement, and material options — wood or composite — based on your budget and maintenance preferences.
We dig and pour footings below frost depth, build the frame, install decking and railings, and make sure everything is solid, level, and up to code.
We walk the finished deck with you, check every detail, and cover basic care so your investment holds up season after season.

Deck Building FAQs
How much does it cost to build a deck in Cincinnati?
Deck building costs in Greater Cincinnati typically range from $6,000 to $30,000. A basic pressure-treated wood deck runs $6,000–$12,000. A larger deck with composite decking, stairs, and railings typically runs $15,000–$30,000. Kevin Manz and the MHI team provide a free in-home estimate with a detailed written quote before any work begins.
Should I choose wood or composite decking?
Pressure-treated wood has a lower upfront cost and is easy to repair, but requires regular staining and maintenance. Composite costs more upfront but needs very little maintenance and holds up better long-term. Kevin Manz will walk you through both options during your free estimate based on your budget and how much upkeep you want.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most standard deck builds take 3–7 business days once materials are on site. Larger or more complex decks with multiple levels or pergolas can run 1–2 weeks. We provide a written timeline before work starts and keep you updated throughout the build.
Do you pull permits for deck building in Ohio?
Yes. Most deck builds in Ohio require a permit and we handle the entire process for you. We're familiar with code requirements across Cincinnati, Batavia, and Clermont County and factor permits into the project timeline upfront.
Can you repair my existing deck instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. We inspect the framing, footings, and decking and give you an honest assessment of whether repairs are safe and cost-effective or whether replacement makes more sense. If the bones are solid, repairs can extend a deck's life significantly at a fraction of replacement cost.
What kind of footings do you use?
We install concrete footings dug below Ohio's frost line — typically 36 inches — to prevent heaving and shifting over time. Proper footings are the foundation of a deck that stays level and safe for years. We don't cut corners on this step.
Can you add stairs and railings to an existing deck?
Yes. Stair and railing additions or replacements are common standalone projects. We build code-compliant railings and stairs that are safe, solid, and match the style of your existing deck as closely as possible.
