Expert Deck Builders in Annapolis

We take your deck through the entirety of the build process. From the initial design, we are looking to set the scene for what the perfect outdoor area looks like. Once the project begins, we begin with framing, then onto the structural components, board placement, and staining/finishing.

The deck building process can be broken down into the following parts:

1. Choose the size, shape, and location for your deck.

2. If applicable, decide on the number of levels and staircases.

3. Choose the type of material (natural wood or composite).

4. Decide on railings, spindles, lattice, etc.

5. Choose a stain color (if using hardwood)

6. Pick out the perfect lighting and fixtures.

Screened Porches

Why stop at the deck when you can have the best of both indoor and outdoor worlds? Enjoy the natural beauty of the outdoors while being shielded form the elements in a deck/addition hybrid. Our screened porches carry the craftsmanship of our deck builds, with the coziness of a living room.

1. Pressuretreated wood: 

2. Cedar wood

3. Composite:

4. Aluminum: 

5. Stainless steel: 

 

Deck Posts

Deck posts are an important part of a wood deck because they provide support for the decking boards. Without deck posts, the decking boards would not have anything to rest on and would eventually collapse. Deck posts also help to keep the decking boards in place by providing a stable surface for them to sit on.

Deck Lighting & Fixtures

There are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing deck lights and fixtures. First, you need to decide what type of lighting you want. There are three main types of lighting: ambient, accent, and task. Ambient lighting is used to create a general light in the area. Accent lighting is used to highlight certain features, such as paintings or sculptures. Task lighting is used to provide light for specific tasks, such as reading or cooking.

Some of the most popular include:

1. Solarpowered deck lights:

2. Lowvoltage:

3. LED:  

4. Batteryoperated
