Deck Building and Repair in Harford County and Baltimore County
We build new decks, replace worn-out ones and repair what's still worth saving, for homeowners from Bel Air to Towson. Every project starts with a free assessment, including a look at the framing and footings underneath, so you know what you're working with before you decide.
If your frame is solid, we'll tell you, and quote new boards instead of a new deck.

Repair, resurface or rebuild? We'll tell you straight.
A deck with gray, splintered boards may have a perfectly good frame underneath. A deck that looks fine on top can have rotted joists or a loose ledger board. Here's how we decide, and we'll walk you through it on your own deck.
A repair usually makes sense when
- Boards are splintered, cupped or faded, but the joists and posts are solid
- Only a few boards or a section of railing are damaged
- The footings are sound and the deck feels steady underfoot
- You want a new composite surface without paying for a new frame
It's usually time to replace when
- Joists, beams or posts are soft, cracked or rotted
- The ledger board where the deck meets the house is loose or water-damaged
- The deck sways, bounces or leans
- Railings are loose or too low to meet today's code
- You want a bigger deck, a new layout or a different shape

Updating the outside of your home? We handle decks, roofing and siding, so the whole project runs on one schedule.
Decking and materials we install
We'll recommend a material based on your budget, how you use your deck and how much upkeep you want. Here's how the four compare.
Composite decking
Trex, TimberTech, AZEK and Wolf composite won't splinter, rot or need staining. It comes in a wide range of colors and wood-grain finishes and stays looking new with an occasional wash.
A good fit for: homeowners who want a deck they'll barely have to maintain.
Pressure-treated lumber
The most budget-friendly option and the standard for deck framing. It's strong and long-lasting, but the surface needs regular sealing or staining.
A good fit for: tighter budgets, and homeowners who don't mind seasonal upkeep.
Cedar
Natural wood with a rich color and grain, and naturally resistant to rot and insects. Cedar needs sealing to keep its color or will weather to a silver gray.
A good fit for: homeowners who want the look and feel of real wood.
Composite and aluminum railings
Low-maintenance railings that won't rot or need painting. Aluminum offers a slim, modern look that keeps the view open.
A good fit for: any deck, especially where you want to see the yard or the view.
What new deck looks like
Most new decks take one to two weeks once permits are approved. Here's the whole job, start to finish.

Is your deck still safe?
Decks wear from the inside out. Rotted joists, loose ledger boards and weak railings often don't show from the surface. A deck safety check tells you where yours stands, with photos of what we find underneath.

Deck questions
Have a question that isn't here? Call us or send it with the form below.
How much does a new deck cost?
It depends on the size, the height off the ground, the material and the railing. After a free assessment you'll get a written price, not a range.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most decks take one to two weeks once permits are approved. We'll give you a schedule in your proposal.
Is composite decking worth it?
It costs more upfront than wood, but it doesn't need staining or sealing and won't splinter or rot. Over the life of the deck, many homeowners find it pays for itself.
Can you put new boards on my old deck frame?
Often, yes. If the joists, beams and footings are solid, resurfacing is a great way to save money. We'll check the frame first and tell you honestly.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Most decks in Maryland need a county permit. We'll handle it as part of the job.
What's the difference between Trex, TimberTech, AZEK and Wolf?
All four are quality composite or PVC brands. They differ in colors, finishes, warranties and price, and we'll bring samples so you can compare them in person.
