Composite Decks Installation in Bellefontaine, OH
Beautiful, Durable Outdoor Decks You’ll Actually Use
You’re thinking about a composite deck. Maybe you’ve pictured summer BBQs, morning coffee outside, or a safe place for kids to play. Sound familiar? Most homeowners in Bellefontaine want a deck that looks great, lasts a long time, and doesn’t take over their weekends with maintenance. That’s exactly what we help you do at MitchellGroup Home Remodeling.
We install composite decks that improve how you live outside and add real value to your home. And since we’re right here in Bellefontaine, OH, we know the weather your deck has to stand up to — cold winters, hot summers, and everything in between.
Let’s walk through what you need to know.
Why Composite Decks Make So Much Sense in Bellefontaine
Concrete and wood decks have their place. But around here, wood decks tend to age fast. They fade, split, rot, and demand staining or sealing every year. Composite decking does not work that way.
Here’s what you’ll actually get:
- Low‑maintenance surface – no sanding, staining, or sealing every season.
- Weather resistance – holds up to Ohio’s freeze/thaw cycles and summer sun.
- Long lifespan – quality installs often last 25–30+ years.
- No splinters – safe for kids and pets to walk on barefoot.
- Fade and stain resistance – keeps its look without constant upkeep.
This means you spend more time enjoying your deck and less time worrying about it.

How a Composite Deck Gets Built (Simple and Straight)
Here’s how we install your deck, broken down into real, easy‑to‑understand steps:
- Initial Consultation & Layout Planning
We talk with you about the style, size, and purpose of your deck — entertaining, quiet family space, poolside zone, etc. We’ll also inspect your yard and check code requirements.
- Custom Deck Design
We help you choose:
- Board direction and pattern
- Railing style
- Stairs location
- Lighting or integrated features
You see a plan before we build.
- Strong Foundation
We use pressure‑treated lumber framing that meets current safety codes. That’s the backbone of a solid deck.
- Composite Board Installation
We use materials like Trex or TimberTech boards that are designed to resist fading, moisture, and rot. Boards are cut, leveled, and fastened with quality stainless hardware.
- Final Touches
We install railings and stairs, clean up the site, and walk you through your new deck.
Every job follows safety compliance and local building requirements so you’re not left fixing issues later.
Materials and Options You Can Choose
Not all decks are the same — or should be.
Popular Composite Deck Materials
- Trex® Composite Decking (rich colors, popular locally)
- TimberTech® Decking
- Other high‑grade composites with warranty backing
Composite boards are made from recycled wood fibers and plastics. They don’t rot like wood, and they’re stronger than cheap alternatives.
Tool & Installation Quality That Matters
We work with:
- Power drills and screw guns for precision
- Miter and circular saws for exact cuts
- Leveling tools to keep boards even
- Deck post hole diggers for a solid foundation
These aren’t just names — they’re what help your deck hold up season after season.
How Much Should a Composite Deck Cost in Bellefontaine?
Costs vary depending on size, design, and materials.
Local estimates show a typical composite deck installation in our area can range broadly, with overall projects from about $8,000 to $20,000 or more depending on size and features.
Here’s what affects price:
- Deck size and shape
- Board quality and brand
- Railings and stairs
- Site preparation and permits
- Additional features like lighting
We always give you a clear, written quote before any work starts.
Why Hiring a Licensed & Insured Pros Matters
Some people consider DIY or hiring the cheapest handyman they find. That might save money upfront, but it can lead to headaches later.
Here’s why local pros like us matter:
- We carry licensing and insurance, so you won’t be hit with repair bills if things go wrong.
- We handle permits and code checks, which protects your property and future resale value.
- We use products with manufacturer warranties that you actually get if you need them.
- You get references and reviews from real customers.
That kind of protection matters when you’re investing in your home.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make (and How We Prevent Them)
People new to decks often make the same mistakes:
- Skipping permits – this can lead to fines or redo work.
- Choosing low‑quality materials that fade or warp early.
- Poor board spacing or framing – this leads to weak deck surfaces.
- Ignoring drainage and moisture control – this shortens deck life.
We’ve seen these issues, and we avoid them with proper planning, materials, and installation best practices.
