Services we build in Highland

Custom decks in Highland

Highland is rural southern Howard County near Fulton, and many of the homes here are custom builds where the deck has to match existing architecture rather than sit on it. Large lots give us layout freedom, and we use it to place stairs and landings where the yard actually gets used. Attached decks need a Howard County building permit and frost protection 30 inches deep, which we detail on the drawings. Our own crews build wood and Trex composite decks near the Rockburn Branch Park area and throughout 20777. MHIC #91686.

Custom pergolas in Highland

Highland pergolas usually need to match a custom home rather than stand apart from it, so we take the roof pitch, trim, and column details of the house into account when drawing the structure. The large rural lots near Fulton leave plenty of room for a freestanding pergola over a patio or fire feature. Attached structures require a Howard County building permit, which we file and see through inspection. We build wood pergolas and install certified Azenco louvered aluminum with our own crews. MHIC #91686.

Sunrooms in Highland

Highland sunrooms usually attach to custom homes near Fulton, so matching the existing roof pitch, trim, and window lines matters as much as the enclosure itself. We start with the roof tie-in and flashing detail, because that is what decides whether the room stays dry. Large rural lots give us room to size the space for how it will actually be used. As an authorized Sunspace dealer we install three-season and year-round insulated rooms, built by our own crews with the Howard County permit handled here. MHIC #91686.

As an authorized Alutech dealer, we install premium Sunbrella awnings with LED-lit arms, remote operation, and optional wind and sun sensors for Highland homeowners, usually in a single day. Extend it when you want shade, retract it when you want full sun.
