Decks, Sheds & Carpentry

Deck & Shed Building & Repair in Crofton, MD

From a few soft boards to a brand-new deck or a custom shed, I build and repair outdoor structures to last through Maryland winters and summers.

What I build and repair

Catch rot early

Soft, spongy boards, popped fasteners, wobbly railings, or wood that's gone gray and cracked are all signs it's time. Small repairs now are far cheaper than a full rebuild later โ€” and a loose railing is a genuine safety issue. I'll give you an honest assessment of what needs fixing versus what can wait.

Permits & doing it right

New decks and larger structural work can require a permit in Anne Arundel County. I build to code and will walk you through whether your project needs a permit before we start โ€” no cutting corners on something you and your family stand on.

Frequently asked questions

Should I repair or replace my deck?

If the framing is sound and only surface boards or railings are worn, a repair and re-seal is usually the smart, affordable choice. If the structure or footings are failing, replacement is safer. I'll tell you straight which one your deck needs.

How often should a deck be stained or sealed?

Most decks in Maryland do well with a fresh seal every 2โ€“3 years โ€” sooner if water stops beading on the surface. Regular sealing is the cheapest way to add years to a deck.

Do you build custom sheds?

Yes โ€” from kits to fully custom builds sized to your yard and needs. I can match your home's look with siding, trim and paint.
