Covington is dense historic housing, much of it nineteenth century, on small lots that climb away from the Licking and the Ohio.
Age, tight sites and steep ground are the three things that shape a deck here, and Kentucky permitting is its own process rather than an extension of the Ohio one.
Attaching to a nineteenth century brick wall is a masonry detail, not a timber one, and on many of these houses a freestanding deck on its own posts is the better engineering answer. Yards are small enough that the deck usually is the garden, so built-in seating tends to beat furniture.
A Northern Kentucky address does not run through the Ohio process, and the requirements and the office both differ. We work both sides of the river and handle whichever applies to your address.

Flexible financing options available through Hearth. Spread the cost of your deck or outdoor space over monthly payments instead of paying for the whole project up front.
