Backyard Deck Reconstruction & Composite Upgrade in Cincinnati, OH
CertaPro Painters® of Cincinnati
Modernizing a Westside Cincinnati Deck with Durable Composite Materials
In March 2026, CertaPro Painters® of Cincinnati completed a two-week residential deck reconstruction project on the west side of Cincinnati, OH. The homeowner’s existing natural wood deck had been previously painted but showed significant wear, including chipping, fading, and deterioration in high-traffic areas. In addition to surface wear, several boards were damaged and required full replacement as part of a larger structural improvement.
The goal of the project was to rebuild the deck using more durable, low-maintenance materials while maintaining structural integrity and improving overall appearance. Our carpentry division carefully dismantled the existing deck surface while preserving the underlying support system for reuse. The completed project delivered a modern, code-compliant outdoor living space built for long-term durability and performance.

Brick Painting and Care
Bricks are commonly used in our area for their ability to withstand weather and moisture while looking great and keeping us warm in winter. Over time, bricks can loose their color and vibrance, especially outdoors. UV rays and heat can leach the color from the stone if you don’t step in to help. This is where our painters come in.
