FAQ
Common Questions About Deck Building
Should I choose composite or wood for my deck?
Both options have their strengths. Pressure-treated wood is more affordable upfront and offers a classic, natural look, but requires annual staining and sealing. Composite decking costs more initially but is virtually maintenance-free, won't splinter or rot, and comes in a wide range of colors and textures. For Ohio's climate with its moisture and temperature swings, many homeowners are choosing composite for its long-term durability and lower maintenance costs.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most residential deck projects in the Maineville area take 1-2 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity of the design. Simple, single-level decks can sometimes be completed in under a week. Multi-level decks with built-in features like benches, pergolas, or lighting may take a bit longer. We'll provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Ohio?
Yes, most deck construction in Warren County and surrounding jurisdictions requires a building permit. The permit process ensures your deck meets local building codes for safety, structural integrity, and setback requirements. RGV Contracting handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections as part of our standard service.
How much does a new deck cost in the Maineville area?
Deck costs depend on size, materials, design complexity, and site conditions. A basic pressure-treated wood deck typically ranges from $25-$45 per square foot installed, while composite decking runs $45-$70+ per square foot. A standard 12x16 deck might cost between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on materials and features. We provide free, detailed estimates customized to your specific project.
