Elevated and Multi Level Decks in Northeast Ohio
Second story decks, walkout decks, and multi level designs built for sloped and wooded lots.
Built by DreamDecksBuilt for Height and Hills
Elevated and multi level decks turn a steep or sloped yard into usable living space, with areas for dining, lounging, and grilling at different heights.
We build them on helical pier foundations with engineered framing, so they stay solid and level for decades.
Add a dry space below with an under deck ceiling and you get a second outdoor room underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
How high can a deck be built?
There is no single limit, but taller decks need engineered posts, bracing, and footings. We design and permit decks for second story and walkout heights regularly.
Why use helical piers for an elevated deck?
Helical piers anchor below the frost line and carry heavy loads right away, which keeps tall decks from settling or leaning over time.
Can I have a dry space under my deck?
Yes. An under deck ceiling system collects water from above so the space below stays dry for seating, storage, or a patio.
Do multi level decks cost more?
Yes, extra levels, stairs, and framing add cost, but they also add usable space and make sloped yards work.
Do you handle permits for tall decks?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and pull the permit, and we schedule every inspection.
