Services we build in Annapolis

Custom decks in Annapolis

Annapolis deck work splits in two. In the historic district near City Dock and Eastport, lots are tight, preservation review is real, and the deck has to look like it belongs beside older construction. In the newer waterfront neighborhoods along Spa Creek, Critical Area buffer rules often decide how close to the water anything can go, so we confirm status before drawing. We handle the Anne Arundel County permit and the inspections that follow. Our crews build wood and composite decks, and we plan stairs, footings, and drainage around the actual site under MHIC #91686.

Custom pergolas in Annapolis

Annapolis pergolas have to answer to the surroundings. In the historic district, scale and material matter because preservation review looks at both, and a structure that overwhelms a small courtyard will not pass. Near Spa Creek and Eastport, we confirm Critical Area status before choosing a location. We build traditional wood pergolas and install certified Azenco aluminum systems when adjustable shade and rain control are the goal. Our own crews complete the installation, and we file through the Anne Arundel County Department of Inspections and Permits.

Sunrooms in Annapolis

Annapolis sunroom projects usually start with a constraint. Historic district homes near City Dock and Eastport have preservation review and tight lots, while waterfront properties along Spa Creek can fall inside the Critical Area buffer, where new structures close to the water may not be allowed at all. We confirm both before design. As an authorized Sunspace dealer we install three-season and year-round insulated rooms, and our own crews handle the structure, flashing, and finish work with the Anne Arundel County permit filed by us.
