Our Residential Deck Services in Baltimore, MD

Deck Installation

When you install a new backyard deck with Freedom Fence and Deck, you can expect a professional, straightforward process from start to finish. After a free consultation and quote, we will work with you to finalize a deck design and final quote. On the installation day, our team and at least one company owner will take excellent care of your property and project. You will be left with a stunning new backyard deck you can enjoy for decades.

Deck Replacement

If you are replacing an old deck, the process is the same. We can take down your old deck and replace it with a replica of the old one if you desire. 

Deck Renovation

A deck renovation can be a cost-effective way to transform your deck without the cost of a completely new deck. If the supporting structure is sound but you want to change out parts, extend the deck, or add new features, then a deck renovation is best.

Deck Resurfacing

Deck resurfacing is a great idea if your deck is structurally sound but you want to replace the deck’s boards and/or railing. This service is great if you have warped deck boards or broken or rotting railings. Now is your chance to get an affordable replacement or a low-maintenance option. 

Building a Custom Deck

Building a custom deck is a great idea when your property calls for it. In your case, a simple rectangular or square deck will not do. A custom deck will fit the contours of your home and backyard and have designated areas for your outdoor living needs, such as grilling, dining, and lounging. We listen carefully to our clients, help them devise the best design, and make it a reality.

Basic Components of Deck Designs

If you are installing or renovating your deck in Baltimore, MD, you have many design options. If you need inspiration for your custom deck design, start with the basic elements of deck design.

• Elevation: Decks can have a low, mid, or high elevation or have multiple tiers.
• Dimensions: The size and shape of your deck depends on what makes the most sense for your property’s size and how you want to use your deck.
• Deck railings: Deck railings can be geared toward greater security, privacy, visibility, or seating. In place of deck railings, built-in deck benches could work great for low-elevation decks.
• Deck stairs: Deck stairs can be straight, L-shaped, spiral, or cascading, just to name some possible designs. The design will depend on the deck’s elevation and what works best for traffic flow.
• Deck additions: Deck additions include features like pergolas, planters, benches, lighting, hot tubs, fireplaces, and much, much more.

Deck Maintenance Tips

Backyard decks are more than just beautiful outdoor living spaces. Wood decks need more routine care than composite or vinyl decks, but all benefit from proper care in the long run. Here are some overarching ways to keep your deck in its best condition over the years:

• Sweeping
• Pressure washing
• Sealing (for wood decks)
• Stain removal
• Using the right deicer
• Using a plastic or rubber-tipped snow shovel
• Using fireproof mats if you have a grill or fire pit 

Custom Deck Ideas

Deck maintenance should not take over the regular enjoyment of your deck, though. For a truly custom deck, consider these efficient ways to make yours a fantastic deal.

Mixed Materials

The possibilities are endless with a custom deck, and one of the simplest is to mix deck materials. You can save money on materials by installing a wood deck with a composite or vinyl platform, railing, or both. Some deck railings use two materials, such as wood and aluminum.

Unique Layout

Perhaps you want to build around a tree or create multiple levels that cascade toward your swimming pool. We will help you design the best layout according to proportion and purpose.

Built-Ins

Built-ins include privacy screens, arbors, seating, planter boxes, etc. Adding built-ins can increase the deck’s usefulness, functionality, and sense of style.

Lighting

Deck lighting adds safety, especially on the stairs. Built-in deck lighting on the stairs and deck perimeter adds safety and ambiance.

Covered Features

Many backyards pair a covered outdoor feature like a screened porch with an open deck. Could you see yourself with a screened porch, sunroom, pergola, or gazebo as part of your backyard deck?
