Rooftop Deck in Cleveland, Ohio

One of the more exciting rooftop deck renovation projects recently completed by Remodel Me Today took place high above the vibrant streets of downtown Cleveland. Designed for Tim H., a local homeowner, this custom rooftop deck remodel transformed the top of the historic Grande Arcade building into a private urban oasis. With panoramic views of the Cleveland skyline and nearby Lake Erie, this elevated space now offers a perfect mix of function, relaxation, and modern design.

This rooftop deck renovation didn’t come without its challenges. The most demanding aspect of the build involved transporting every piece of material—from framing lumber to decking boards—up four flights of stairs. With no freight elevator access, our team hand-carried everything to the rooftop, demonstrating the dedication and precision Remodel Me Today brings to every rooftop deck remodel we complete.

Structurally, the deck was built using pressure-treated 2×6 joists, ensuring long-term strength and durability. The surface was finished with ¾” x 5″ standard treated deck boards, chosen for their reliability in high-exposure environments. Every board was placed with care, and the design allows for proper drainage and ventilation—two critical factors in any successful rooftop deck renovation.

The rooftop deck’s layout was customized to maximize usable space, with room for outdoor seating, container gardening, and entertaining guests. Our team also took visual aesthetics into account, designing a structure that complements the timeless architecture of the Grande Arcade while adding contemporary flair.

What makes this rooftop deck remodel especially notable is that it’s just the first phase of a larger renovation. The adjoining condo unit, also owned by Tim H., is currently undergoing a full interior transformation. The same attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship that went into the rooftop deck is guiding the condo renovation, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
