Deck Resurfacing in Concord, Ohio

1918 Preservation

Our recent deck resurfacing project in Concord, Ohio, showcases the transformative power of Trex’s Spiced Rum deckboards. This resurfacing endeavor breathed new life into the outdoor space, creating an inviting haven for the homeowners to enjoy.

The deck’s facelift included the installation of Trex’s Spiced Rum deckboards, a choice that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures longevity and minimal maintenance. The warm tones of Spiced Rum create a welcoming atmosphere, turning the deck into a stylish retreat.

For the railings, a touch of sophistication was added with Crown Rail paired with aluminum spindles. This combination not only adds a contemporary flair but also ensures durability and safety for the outdoor space.

In a creative departure from using composite for skirting, the homeowners opted for pressure-treated fascia and skirting. This alternative not only provides a unique visual contrast but also highlights the versatility of design options available. After allowing the wood to dry out, the skirting and fascia were stained to perfectly match the decking, creating a harmonious and cohesive look.

Working closely with these homeowners was a delight from start to finish. From the initial estimate to the final day, their appreciation and collaborative spirit made the entire process seamless. This Concord, Ohio deck resurfacing project stands as a testament to the beauty of collaboration and the ability to turn outdoor visions into a stunning reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you licensed and insured?

At 1918 Preservation we are fully insured with general liability insurance, business auto insurance, and workman's compensation. There is no license for deck building, but we are registered with the state as well as every municipality where we pull permits.

Do you have references?

Yes! Be sure to check out our reviews on Google and Facebook to learn more about our business and the quality of our work.

Is a permit necessary an who pulls the permits?

More often than not a permit is required on deck and fence projects. The scope of work as well as the city/county the home is in will dictate whether or not a permit is required. Per the IRC, if the deck is under 200 sq ft, less than 30" from the ground, and not attached to the home, a building permit is not required. Resurfacing a deck or doing repairs generally does not require a permit.

At 1918 Preservation, our team handles pulling the permits, including plan and application submittal. We coordinate with the inspectors to schedule all necessary inspections as well.

Do you install wood decks and composite decks?

We install both wood and composite decks. There are several factors that come in to play when deciding which option is best for you. Cost is obviously a major factor with composite. Almost every composite brand has a high end decking option, their mid level decking, and also a lower-cost deck board option. The same is generally true with their railings as well.

With a wood deck there will be annual maintenance costs as well as general upkeep. I often tell clients if you enjoy that type of work and don't mind doing it, take advantage of the cost difference and go with wood.

There are several differences and intricacies with installing a composite deck versus a wood deck. Composite decks require additional steps as well as additional tools to complete the install process. This typically leads to a higher labor cost for similar sized wood deck.

How long will the project take?

Projects will vary in duration, most taking between 4 and 8 days. Some of the factors that determine the length of a project include the presence of an existing deck that needs removed, the size of the new deck, and the layout of the area where the deck is being installed. Weather and city inspections also play a role in the duration of the project. We do everything we can to plan for the weather to avoid delays in finishing the build. We stay in constant communication with our customers and keep them informed on a potential finish date as well as any possible delays.

How long have you been in business?

We have been in business since June of 2019.

Do you offer any financing options?

We offer financing through Acorn, a 3rd party finance company that our customer's can go through directly. A link to their website will be located on the proposal that we send over. Our proposals stay the same amount whether you choose to pay traditionally or use financing. In other words, we don’t jack up the price because you elect to finance your project!
