Premier Deck Builder in Central Maryland

The cost of a deck depends on several key factors, including materials, size, railing style, stairs, lighting, and added features such as creating a dry, usable space beneath the deck.

As a general guideline:

• Basic decks can start around $6,000
• Most average-size composite decks fall closer to $25,000
• Larger or more customized projects with premium materials, specialty railings, lighting, or under-deck drainage systems can exceed that range

Every deck we build is custom-designed to match your home, lifestyle, and how you plan to use the space.

During your consultation, we'll walk through options, priorities, and budget considerations so you know exactly what to expect, no surprises.

Most counties require a permit for any new deck construction.

Building a deck is treated as a structural addition to your home, so a permit is required for safety and code compliance.

We can assist in acquiring a permit if needed.

The timeline for a deck project depends on several factors, including deck size, design complexity, weather conditions, and required building inspections.

In most cases:

• Smaller or straightforward decks can take about 5 days
• Larger or more customized projects typically take 1–2 weeks

However, our deck projects typically book in advance. Availability varies, and immediate start dates may not be possible.

Yes, if the underlying structure is in good condition, re-decking can be a cost-effective way to refresh your deck's appearance.

However, if we find rot, improper spacing, outdated construction methods, or code issues, rebuilding part or all of the structure may be necessary to ensure safety and long-term performance.

Our goal is always to recommend the best solution for your home, not the quickest fix.

We'll walk you through what can be reused, what should be replaced, and why, so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Best practice is to contact your HOA before work begins.

Some HOAs require structural or architectural approval applications prior to install.

Maryland's hot, humid summers and cold, wet winters require durable, moisture-resistant materials.

Composite and PVC decking are popular choices because they resist rot, mold, insects, and weathering with very little maintenance.

Pressure-treated wood is a more budget-friendly option but requires regular sealing and upkeep.

We'll help you choose the best material based on your home, lifestyle, and budget.

• Composite: Mixed material (typically wood fibers + plastics). Trex popularized early composites.
• PVC/Vinyl: Plastic-based boards (PVC). TimberTech/AZEK is a major player in PVC decking.
• Mineral-based: Some brands (e.g., Deckorators) use mineral + polymer blends for durability.
