Custom Deck FAQs

Most decks take 1–3 weeks from start to finish. A simple ground-level deck can be done in 3–5 days, while multi-level decks with custom features take 2–3 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule at your free consultation.

For our humid summers and cold winters, composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) performs best — it resists moisture, fading, and warping. Pressure-treated is solid for budget builds. Cedar looks beautiful but needs regular sealing. We'll help you pick based on your budget and maintenance preferences.

Most deck projects in Calvert, Anne Arundel, Charles, and St. Mary's Counties require permits — especially for elevated decks or those attached to your home. We handle all permit applications and make sure everything is up to code.

Pressure-treated decks start around $25–35/sqft. Composite runs $40–60+/sqft. Features like pergolas, lighting, and built-ins add to that. Contact us for a free, no-pressure quote specific to your project.

Absolutely — we specialize in complete outdoor living builds. Step lights, post cap lights, under-rail lighting, built-in benches, planters, privacy screens, and pergolas are all part of what we do.
