Why Add a Deck to Your Property

Decks are one of the most popular home upgrades because they offer a high return on investment, improve daily living, and can be customized for almost any property.

Added living space

A deck gives you more room to enjoy your home, especially during spring, summer, and fall. Whether you're hosting family, grilling, or just relaxing with a book, a well-built deck gives you a comfortable place to do it.

Easy access to the outdoors

Decks can be built to match your home’s style, your yard’s layout, and your personal preferences. From small backdoor landings to wraparound entertaining spaces, we tailor every design to your needs.

We build roofing systems that are designed for long‑term durability, improved ventilation, and protection from the elements. Our work is performed using industry best practices and high‑quality materials suited for Indiana and Ohio weather.

Our Deck Building Services

Wengerd Home Improvements offers complete deck construction from the ground up. We handle every part of the build, including:

  • Site prep and leveling
    Structural framing
  • Decking and board installation
  • Railing systems and stairs
  • Skirting and trim
  • Add-ons like pergolas, built-in benches, and lighting

We use pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or a combination of materials based on your goals and budget. Our team will walk you through all available options and help you choose the right setup for long-term durability and visual appeal.

Wood vs Composite Decking

Choosing the right material is one of the most important decisions when building a new deck. We offer both traditional pressure-treated wood and modern composite options, each with its own benefits.

Wood Decks

  • Natural appearance and texture
  • Lower upfront cost
  • Can be stained or painted any color
  • Requires regular maintenance and sealing

Composite Decks

  • Made from recycled wood fibers and plastic
  • Resistant to rot, warping, and splintering
  • Low maintenance and no need for staining
  • Higher upfront cost, but longer lifespan

We will help you evaluate the pros and cons of each option based on your maintenance expectations, style preferences, and long-term plans for the space.

Deck Styles and Layout Options

No two properties are the same, and neither are our decks. We build a wide variety of styles including:

  • Single-level backyard decks
  • Multi-level decks for sloped yards
  • Wraparound or corner decks
  • Covered porches and partially roofed areas
  • Stair access from the second stories or raised doors
  • Custom shapes to fit pools, gardens, or patios

Our design approach is always based on your daily use, safety needs, and desired look. Whether you’re replacing an old structure or building new, we will create a plan that complements your home and enhances your yard.

Home Improvement at the Highest-Standard

Code-Compliant & Built to Last

All of our decks are built to meet or exceed local building codes for structural safety, railing height, stair pitch, and support spacing. We use proper fasteners and hardware to avoid warping or future movement, and we finish each project with clean edges, smooth surfaces, and full job site cleanup.

When you work with Wengerd Home Improvements, you can trust that your new deck will be safe, solid, and ready to enjoy.
