Columbus Custom Decks builds decks and porches throughout Columbus, OH and Central Ohio. Quotes are free, they happen at your property rather than over the telephone, and each one closes with a scope on paper and a firm figure.
What follows your first call
1. An initial telephone call
What you are picturing, which way the house faces, and whether something already stands there. If a hazard shows up in the conversation we name it immediately and ask that nobody uses the structure until we have seen it.
2. The visit to your property
We measure the house, note the threshold height at every door and the fall of the garden, trace the route a delivery and a crew will take, and locate the gas meter, the dryer vent and the outdoor tap. If a deck is already in place we get under it, because a frame only reveals the truth when viewed from beneath. This usually lands within a few days.
3. Layouts and a scope on paper
Two or three arrangements at different figures, each setting out the board brand and line, the framing schedule, the fixings, the railing profile, the step count, the dates and the total. Where your address calls for an architectural or association submission, that package travels with the estimate. Nothing is charged and nothing commits you.
4. Approval first, then construction
We draw the framing plan and file it with the office that governs your address, then start once approval lands. The permit itself usually takes one to three weeks in this region. A Delaware or Licking County address sometimes attracts a separate grading or drainage review as well, because a change to how water crosses the lot gets its own assessment, and a design review in New Albany adds a committee cycle on top.

We operate as a service area business across Columbus andCentral Ohio, so there is no showroom to visit and we come to you. Sample boards travel in the truck and appear at the visit, which suits everyone better in any case: a composite tone reads nothing like the same in a warehouse as it does on your own grass in Ohio daylight.

When to book for the shortest wait
Spring disappears first, because every enquiry lands in the same three weeks of March and April. From late summer into autumn the calendar opens up: the ground is easier to work, supplies turn up faster, and the deck is finished before winter rather than waiting behind next year's queue.
Where design review is involved, begin the discussion in winter. It is that committee date, not our schedule, that decides the start.
Why homeowners pick Columbus Custom Decks
Piers set below the frost depth
Ground in central Ohio lifts and settles with every freeze. Each post lands on a poured pier that reaches past the frost depth, and that is what keeps a deck flat across a decade of heave and thaw.
Approvals and sign off dealt with
We prepare the drawings, lodge the permit and stand with the inspector, then hand you the signed approval. A deck built without one belongs to the seller at closing.
A written scope first
Boards, framing detail, fixings, schedule and cost all on paper before work begins. Any later change is documented and agreed, never verbal.
