Maryland Custom Decks
Custom deck builders serving Harford, Baltimore, and Cecil County, Maryland. Trex Pro Platinum installation plus other premium composite and wood options, designed for the way you actually use your outdoor space.
About Our Decks
We've been building decks across Maryland for over a decade, with 30+ years of outdoor living expertise behind every project. We're a Trex Pro Platinum contractor, which puts us in the top 1% of Trex installers nationally, and we also build with other leading composite brands and traditional wood when that's the right fit. We don't do cookie-cutter deck designs, every deck we build is custom-designed for the homeowner, the home's architecture, and how the space will actually be used.
Want shade on your new deck without giving up the open sky? A motorized retractable awning extends over the deck at the touch of a button and rolls away when you want full sun. See our Alutech SunShield retractable awnings.
