It’s Time to Bring Your Outdoor Living Space to Life

Outdoor living should be just as enjoyable to plan as it is to live in. That belief has guided our work for decades and continues to shape how we work with our clients to design and build their dream outdoor spaces.

    “I could not have been more impressed with the entire Deck Masters team. From the initial estimate completed onsite by Mike to Greg and the crew doing the work.”

  • A new multi-level custom wooden deck. Deck Masters builds mostly Delaware County. We primarily serve eight cities and their surrounding areas, including Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Westerville, New Albany, Delaware, Galena, and Sunbury.

    “We are getting towards the end of our new deck. Mike was great getting a design and cost. Very informative and much better to work with than the other company we had bid on the project. The gentleman that did the tear-out of the old was the hardest working guy I've ever seen, and he was also one of the most friendly! The crew came in last week to begin, and all of them are great. Friendly, hard working, etc. Very good communication about finer details of steps, fencing, etc. If you need a deck, look no further!”

    —Gary Wallberg

Quality Craftsmanship is Our Standard

Design-Build Expertise

Your outdoor living space is designed and built by the same team. We think through how a space will look and how it will be used before breaking ground.

John Stark

Deck Masters was founded in 1986 by John Stark, a craftsman at heart who believed in doing things the right way, even when it took longer. John built the company on pride in workmanship, respect for homeowners, and a deep appreciation for the trade.

He still jokes that he’ll be buried with a set of post hole diggers; a fitting symbol for someone who built his life, and this business, from the ground up.

In-House Craftsmen Crew

Deck Masters is proud to employ a full-time team of skilled craftsmen who take their work personally. Many of our team members have spent their careers in construction, refining their craft and passing knowledge from one project to the next.

We’re tidy. We’re efficient. We care about the details. And we understand that inviting a construction team onto your property requires trust: something we never take lightly.

Materials Change. Craftsmanship Shouldn’t.

Decking has evolved, and we’ve evolved with it. While wood will always have our hearts, we work confidently with composite, metal, glass, cable, stone, tile, and more. We guide you through material options honestly so your investment makes sense for your lifestyle and your budget.
