DreamDecks is a family owned deck builder based in Medina that designs and builds custom composite and wood decks for homeowners in Independence, Ohio. Independence homes often sit on hills above the Cuyahoga Valley. We build elevated and multi level decks on helical piers, add covered spaces, and use railing that keeps the view open.
Every project starts with a free visit and a 3D design, and our own crew handles the build from foundation to final walkthrough. No subcontractors and no handoffs.

What to Know About Building a Deck in Independence
Sloped and Wooded Lots
Hills, ravines, and tree roots call for careful footings. Our helical piers install with minimal digging and support elevated decks on uneven ground.
Room to Build Big
Larger lots open the door to multi level decks, covered pavilions, and outdoor kitchens. We plan the whole backyard so every space connects.
Designed Around the View
We set deck height, stairs, and railing style so you see the yard, the pond, or the woods instead of a wall of balusters.
Permits and Inspections
We prepare the drawings, pull the permit with the local building department, and schedule every inspection for you.

As a planning guide, our estimator uses about $38 per square foot for pressure treated wood, $55 for composite, and $78 for premium composite before extras. Every Independence homeowner gets a free on site visit and a detailed written quote, and financing is available.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Independence?
Most new decks and major rebuilds in Ohio need a building permit, and many neighborhoods also need HOA approval. DreamDecks prepares the drawings, pulls the permit with the local building department, and schedules the inspections for you.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most decks take one to three weeks on site once the permit is approved and materials arrive. Covered roofs, outdoor kitchens, and multi level designs take longer. You get a schedule before we start.

Which decking brands does DreamDecks install?

When is the best time to build a deck in Northeast Ohio?
We build all year, including winter with the right materials and helical pier foundations. Signing in fall or winter usually gets you on the early spring schedule so the deck is ready for summer.
