Deck Reconstruction

Deck Reconstruction

Building outdoor spaces that withstand Chesapeake Bay weather.

Annapolis decks face constant salt spray and nor'easter winds. We construct with pressure-treated southern yellow pine and stainless steel fasteners that resist corrosion. Our signature cantilevered designs provide water drainage away from house foundations.

For waterfront properties, we elevate structures to meet FEMA flood codes while maintaining water views. All railings are built to withstand 150mph winds - crucial for hurricane seasons. Recent projects include a Key Highway rooftop deck with concealed storage for cushions and marine-grade LED lighting.

We salvage usable materials whenever possible, like repurposing old joists as garden edging in Hampden's alleyways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair just the damaged sections?

We offer spot repairs but often recommend full rebuilds when we find concealed rot - common in 15+ year old decks near the harbor.

What about composite materials?

We install TimberTech and Fiberon with hidden clips to prevent warping. Avoid cheaper brands that buckle in our temperature swings.
