Deck Construction

You've got a backyard that gets great afternoon sun and you never use it because there's nowhere to sit. A deck turns that overlooked space into the room your family actually uses — cookouts, morning coffee, kids with room to move.

You bought a home in Rockville with a deck built by a previous owner and no permit on record. It wobbles. The ledger board isn't flashed properly. A buyer's inspector will flag it. We can assess what's there and bring it to code — or rebuild it correctly.

Your neighbor's deck is already looking gray and splinter-prone after five years. They went with the cheapest pressure-treated option. We walk every client through material cost-of-ownership — because the 30% premium for composite pays back in zero maintenance over a decade.

You want stairs down to the yard and a small section for the grill, but you don't know what's feasible on your lot with Montgomery County setback rules. We review your property survey before the estimate so there are no surprises at permit review.

Maryland winters are hard on wood decks — freeze-thaw cycles work their way into any gap and split boards from the inside. We select lumber grades and fastener systems designed for this climate, not just for cost.
