There are lots of Cincinnati deck building companies out there. And a deck is a big investment for any homeowner in material costs alone. Chances are, you're searching for a deck contractor and a bit overwhelmed by all the options.
At ProMaster, we often ask potential customers this question: what is most important to you when you're hiring a contractor?
While there are many ways to answer that question, and none of them incorrect, the following answers are most common:
- Craftsmanship: The work needs to be done well, and safely. No homeowner wants to hire another contractor to come behind a previous contractor to make significant repairs.
- Communication: Our ProMaster office staff hears this phrase far too often: "Don't ghost me!" Unfortunately, home repair and handyman companies have developed a bad reputation for poor communication, not following through on providing estimates, and leaving jobs unfinished. Customers frequently speak to the importance of good communication on projects.
- Cleanliness: Customers reference not only the cleanliness of job sites, but of the craftsmen entering their homes, as highly important. They want to feel their home is respected and in good hands.
- Price: At some point, we have to talk about money, right? This ranges broadly depending on the customer. Some look for the cheapest option, no matter what that means. Others don't care at all about price. Most fall somewhere in the middle. But we'd be foolish to think price isn't a factor for the majority of customers.
So, where does ProMaster fit in?

Cincinnati Deck Repair
When warmer weather approaches, deck repair becomes one of ProMaster’s most common home repair projects.
While our Home Repair Heroes also remove and build decks, many times customers simply need deck maintenance.
Sometimes, that maintenance can be minor and more focused on cosmetics. Painting or staining a deck can not only protect the wood, but also offer a fresh, new look for the summer months.
More often, however, decks need more important structural repairs. These can be minor - like repairing railings or deck steps.
However, unfortunately, there are a lot of poorly built or aging decks that need more serious deck repairs. From wood rot on deck boards to sagging joists and more, our craftsmen can help get your Cincinnati deck back into shape and safe for you, your family, and your guests.
ProMaster was named one of Expertise.com’s top deck builders in Cincinnati in 2022!
Types of Deck Repair Projects
What kind of deck repair projects can ProMaster tackle? Because our team is filled with multi-disciplined craftsmen, you can rehab your deck in one stop!
- Deck Staining and Painting: Not only does staining or painting your pressure treated wooden deck help reduce wear and tear, it also can transform the look of your deck and backyard. It’s important to understand the pros and cons of each method, which you can read more about here.
- Wood Rot Repair: Despite your best efforts, deck boards and spindles can show signs of rot over time. These issues need to be addressed quickly, as they can cause safety concerns for family members or guests walking or lounging on the deck. Often, these repairs involve simply replacing the damaged areas with new wood and can be handled by a skilled craftsman.
- Railing Repair: Because of their high levels of foot traffic, railings and steps are particularly susceptible to damage. They are also the most likely to be built incorrectly, as correctly measuring the angle of the stairs and the treads can be quite challenging. Like wood rot, any issues with railings and steps should be managed quickly to avoid any safety concerns or code violations.
- Structural Repair: The most extensive of deck repairs, structural reinforcements or repairs to deck joists can be rare. However, as decks age and sag over time, extra joist reinforcement to the structure can extend the life and safety of your deck. In a recent project, our ProMaster craftsmen even utilized existing joists (and added a few others) to build a brand new deck for a customer. Click to watch how they did it.
