Decks & Porches in Davidsonville, MD

Davidsonville sits between Annapolis and Crofton on larger, often wooded lots — and most homes here were built before the deck-as-standard-feature era. We build composite and pressure-treated decks for 1970s–2000s colonials, ranchers, and split-foyers along Route 214 and the Davidsonville Park area. Newer estate-lot homes in Stillview Acres, South River Colony, and Governors Bridge Estates sit on 1+ acre lots with 6–7 bedroom footprints and no builder deck included — these are built for multi-level decks and custom-sized screened porches. Anne Arundel County permits required for all new decks; some lots fall in the South River watershed Critical Area. MHIC #113057.

Our Decks & Porches Process in Davidsonville

In-home consultation to walk the lot, measure, identify property line and setback constraints, and check whether the lot falls in the Critical Area. We produce a permit-ready design with footing details, beam and joist specs, and railing compliance. After contract, the Anne Arundel County permit is filed (1–2 weeks for non-Critical-Area, 4–8 weeks for Critical Area). Construction sequence: footings to frost line (30"), framing, county framing inspection, decking, railings, stairs, and final inspection. Standard 14x18 deck: 2–3 weeks active. Larger custom builds with built-ins: 4–6 weeks.

Outdoor living space adds usable square footage and real value to your Maryland home. PRG builds custom decks, screened porches, and covered outdoor areas using pressure-treated lumber, composite, and PVC materials suited to the local climate.

What's the difference between wood and composite decking?

Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront ($15-$25/sq ft) but requires annual maintenance and lasts 15-20 years. Composite ($30-$50/sq ft) is maintenance-free and lasts 25-30+ years. Read our composite vs. wood decking comparison.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Anne Arundel County?

Yes. Anne Arundel County requires building permits for new deck construction. You'll need to submit plans showing deck size, height, attachment method, footing locations, and railing details. Inspections are required for footings, framing, and final completion. We handle the entire permit process including plan preparation and inspection scheduling.

What size deck do I need?

Consider your intended use. For a dining table and 6 chairs, plan at least 12x12 feet. Add a grill area plus seating: 14x16 feet or larger. Hot tubs need additional structural support and typically a dedicated 10x10 section. For multiple zones (dining, lounging, grilling), 400-600 square feet provides comfortable space.

Can you add a roof or pergola to my deck?

Yes. Options include pergolas (partial shade, architectural interest), solid roof extensions matching your house, retractable awnings, and screen enclosures. Each requires proper structural support—we often upgrade deck framing to handle additional loads. Covered spaces require permits. We design covered areas that complement your home's architecture.
