Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks, mostly for homeowners in Sidney and the towns around it who want somewhere to actually sit outside instead of a slab of gray boards nobody uses. A lot of what we know came from years of general framing and rough carpentry before deck work turned into its own specialty worth focusing on.

If you're on this page, there's a decent chance a board gave out under a chair, or a home inspector flagged the railing height before a sale. We check the ledger board attachment first, since that's the connection point that fails and takes the whole deck down with it if it lets go, and we rebuild from there instead of just patching what's on top.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We carry liability coverage and can send certificates before work starts. If a footing hole nicks a buried line or a board falls the wrong way, you're not the one holding the bag.

Permits & Code

Ohio residential code sets guardrail height, baluster spacing and footing depth, and we build to those numbers whether or not your specific deck requires a permit. Skipping that step is how decks get flagged when a house goes up for sale.

Full Cleanup

Old boards, cut-offs and stripped screws all get hauled off the property when the job wraps up. We sweep the deck itself before we call it finished, not just the lawn around it.

Written Quotes

The quote lists decking material, joist spacing, footing count and hardware, so you know what you're paying for before we cut a board. There's no allowance line that turns into a surprise at the end.

Weather-Aware Scheduling

Deck jobs get pushed around by weather more than most trades, since you can't pour a footing in the mud. We build a rain buffer into the schedule instead of promising a date we know we'll miss.

Material Options

Composite decking costs more up front but skips the yearly staining that pressure-treated pine needs. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs instead of just selling you whatever's sitting in the yard.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about us specifically.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair has been the focus of the work for years, built on a background in general framing and carpentry. That framing background is part of why ledger connections and footing depth get treated as seriously as they do.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck installation and repair jobs are handled by the same crew rather than subcontracted out to different companies. That keeps one party accountable for the whole job instead of pointing at someone else's work if something goes wrong.
Can I see examples of decks you've built?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots taken before the decking goes down, are available on request. Framing photos matter because they show footing depth and joist spacing that get covered up once the boards go on.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a big remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused operation means the person who quotes the job is usually the same person who shows up to build it, rather than a sales rep handing it off to a rotating crew. Decisions about a tricky ledger connection or an odd footing location get made on site instead of relayed through a project manager.
Where are you based?
Absolute Deck Solutions is based in Sidney, Ohio, and works throughout the surrounding towns within roughly a fifty mile radius. Being local means a shorter drive for a warranty callback or a mid-project question.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Spring and early summer fill up fastest for new deck builds, so booking a few weeks ahead during that stretch is reasonable. Repair work usually has more flexibility and can often get scheduled within a week or two regardless of season.
Do you clean up the job site when you're done?
Old decking material, cut-offs and packaging from new lumber or composite boards all get hauled off the property at the end of the job. The deck surface itself gets swept clean before the final walkthrough, not just the yard around it.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
Liability insurance covers accidental damage to a driveway, siding or landscaping that happens during deck construction. Any incident gets reported directly rather than left for the homeowner to notice and bring up later.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or walked away from?
Taking over a partially built deck is possible, but the existing framing gets inspected first to check footing depth and ledger attachment before continuing. Sometimes it's cheaper to finish what's there, and sometimes the existing frame isn't safe to build on top of and needs to come out.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly while it's happening?
Footings should sit below the frost line, roughly forty-two inches deep in this part of Ohio, and the ledger board should be bolted and flashed rather than just nailed to the house. Asking to see the footing holes before they're poured and the ledger connection before decking goes down is a reasonable request on any job.
