Custom Deck Builder in Calvert County, MD

Patuxent Renovations designs and builds custom decks for homeowners in Prince Frederick, Solomons, Huntingtown, Dunkirk, and throughout Calvert County. Every deck starts with a face-to-face consultation, a detailed written proposal, and a set schedule, and we handle the building permit for you.


Decks Built for Southern Maryland Living

A well-built deck adds usable living space for the months when you'd rather be outside: morning coffee, summer cookouts, a view of the water. In Southern Maryland, decks also take a beating from humidity, summer heat, freeze-thaw winters, and salt air near the Bay and the Patuxent River.


We plan for those conditions from the start, with materials, fasteners, and flashing details chosen to hold up for years, not just look good on day one.

Decks We Build

  • New attached decks off the kitchen, family room or primary suite
  • Multi-level decks for sloped lots and walkout basements
  • Pool decks and decks that connect to a pool or patio area
  • Second-story decks with stairs to the yard
  • Deck replacements for aging or unsafe decks
  • Covered decks and deck enclosures. Ready for more shelter? See our sunrooms & additions.


Deck Materials: Wood, Composite, and PVC

We'll help you choose the decking that fits your budget, your style, and how much upkeep you want.

  • Pressure-treated wood: the lowest upfront cost, with a classic look. It needs regular cleaning and sealing.
  • Composite decking: wood-look boards that resist rot and splinters. It needs no staining, just occasional washing.
  • PVC decking: the most moisture-resistant option and the lowest maintenance. It's a strong choice near the water.


Railings, stairs, and lighting are chosen to match: [railing options, e.g., aluminum, composite, cable].


Our Deck Building Process

  1. Consultation. We meet at your home to talk about how you'll use the deck, walk the site, and review your options.
  2. Design and proposal. You receive a detailed plan and a written proposal with materials and pricing spelled out.
  3. Permits and scheduling. We pull the Calvert County building permit and set a written schedule before work begins.
  4. Construction. Our crew builds the deck to code, with proper footings, ledger flashing, and fastening.

Final walk-through. We walk the finished deck with you, then close out the inspection and final payment.

Our Process

  1. Face-to-face consultation at your property to discuss size, use, and budget.
  2. Detailed plan with estimates, including permit and timeline expectations.
  3. Scheduling and kickoff, coordinated around Maryland's inspection requirements.
  4. Full post-renovation inspection to confirm everything meets code and your expectations.
  5. Completion and final payment.

Deck Building FAQs

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Calvert County?

Most new decks and deck replacements in Calvert County require a building permit and inspections. Patuxent Renovations pulls the permit and schedules the inspections as part of every deck project.

How long does it take to build a deck?

It depends on the deck’s size, height and materials, plus the time needed for the Calvert County permit. Design and permitting usually take longer than the build itself. Your proposal includes a written schedule, so you’ll know your start and finish dates before work begins.

How much does a new deck cost in Southern Maryland

Cost depends on size, height, materials, and railings. You'll receive a detailed written proposal after your consultation.

Is composite decking better than wood?

Composite costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood but doesn't need staining or sealing and resists rot and splinters. Wood has a lower initial cost but needs regular maintenance. We'll walk through the trade-offs for your home and budget.

Can you replace or rebuild my old deck?

Yes. We remove aging or unsafe decks and build new ones to current code, including new footings, framing and ledger flashing where needed.

Can my deck be covered or enclosed later?

Yes. A deck can be designed to support a future roof, screened porch or sunroom. Tell us at the consultation so we can plan the framing for it.
