How the work runs

Design and site evaluation. We evaluate grade, drainage, house connection, and sightlines, then produce a design and a real number. You see the layout before anything is ordered.
Permits and approvals. We pull the building permit, submit the plans, and handle HOA approval where required. Most Central Ohio jurisdictions require inspection at footing and framing.
Footings and structure. Footings are dug below frost depth and inspected. The ledger is flashed and fastened with structural hardware, then beams and joists are set to code span.
Decking, rails, and stairs. Surface boards are installed with hidden fasteners where the product allows, guards and handrails are built to code height and spacing, and stairs are laid out to uniform rise.
Final inspection and walkthrough. We schedule and pass final inspection, clean the site completely, and walk the finished deck with you before we close the job.

Why Transit & Flow for deck staining and sealing

The most common deck failure in Central Ohio is the ledger, the board that ties the deck to your house. Improperly flashed, it rots the rim joist and the deck pulls away from the building. We flash every ledger correctly, fasten with structural hardware rather than lag bolts alone, and set footings below the frost line so nothing heaves. Then we hand you the inspection approval and a written warranty.

We are a licensed general contractor, not a single-trade specialist, which matters more on this kind of work than most homeowners realize. When the project uncovers a problem in another trade, and it often does, we already have the licensed crew to solve it instead of stopping the job while you find someone. One schedule, one accountable contractor, one warranty.

Frequently asked questions

How much does deck staining and sealing cost in Central Ohio?

Pricing depends on size, material selection, site conditions, and access. We measure on site and give you an itemized written price before anything begins. Call (614) 382-0000 for a free estimate.

How long does deck staining and sealing take?

Most projects in this category run from one day to two weeks on site, depending on scope, material lead time, and weather. You get a scheduled start and a written completion window before we begin.

Do you pull permits for this work?

Where the jurisdiction requires a permit, yes. We produce the drawings, pull the permit, schedule inspections, and carry it through final approval as part of the project.

Is the work warrantied?

Yes. Financing options are available on qualifying projects. Ask when you call (614) 382-0000 and we will walk you through the terms before you commit to anything.
