After a rainy Cleveland week, a soft board near the steps or a splinter caught in a bare foot is hard to ignore. At
LPB Construction Inc., we check those warning signs. Then we build outdoor spaces that feel steady again. A new deck can replace tired lumber with a surface that suits cookouts, quiet mornings, and family visits. Winter moisture and freeze-thaw cycles are rough on older decks. Strong summer sun is, too.
How do we know an old wood deck needs replacement?
Loose rail posts, spongy spots, and fasteners pulling free often point to more than one bad board. Replacement can make better sense when trouble shows up across the deck surface, railings, and framing. We explain what we find, then talk through the next step in plain terms.
- Splintering: Rough boards can make walking barefoot unpleasant.
- Fading and stains: A weathered surface may no longer fit the look you want outside.
- Loose boards: Shifting sections create an uneven place to walk, pull up a chair, or set down a grill.
After years of sanding, staining, and touch-ups, many homeowners are ready to spend less time maintaining the deck. Through our
exterior home improvement work, we can tie a new deck into patios, pergolas, pavilions, fencing, and other backyard changes.
Our Composite Decks Cut Down on Upkeep
A hose, mild soap, and a quick wash are often all a composite deck needs after a messy summer gathering. As an authorized TimberTech contractor, we build composite decks for homeowners who’d rather enjoy the yard than stain boards every year or two. These boards hold color well and avoid the splintering common with aging wood. Cleanup stays simple.
- Comfort: Smooth decking makes a nicer spot for everyday meals, kids at play, and weekend guests.
- Color: Choose tones that sit well with your siding, stonework, or existing hardscape.
- Scale: From a small landing outside the back door to a larger entertaining area, the layout should fit the yard.
Before a board is ordered, we measure the space, check access points, and consider where tables, chairs, and grills will sit. Our crew takes care of permit paperwork before work starts. Then we plan our
deck-building work around the parts of your yard that already make sense.
We Build Around Your Existing Backyard Layout
That worn path from the patio door to the grill matters. So does the shade tree that keeps one corner cool at 5 p.m. We look at those everyday details when setting deck height, stair placement, and the overall footprint. The finished area should feel like it belongs there. If you want a covered gathering spot or
pergola, those features can be worked into the same plan. We build around how you use your home now. For a Cleveland, OH deck at the end of its useful life, LPB Construction Inc. draws on a third-generation carpentry background for each outdoor project. We’ll lay out a clear path forward. Call us at
