Decks & Porches for Severna Park Homes

Severna Park is one of Anne Arundel County's most desirable communities, with excellent schools and proximity to both Baltimore and Annapolis. Many homes here were built in the 1970s-1990s and need kitchen and bathroom updates for modern living. Even high-end new builds like The Reserve at Severna Park and Enclave at Oak Hill often need custom decks, screened porches, and built-in cabinetry that builders don't include. PRG works on projects ranging from kitchen remodels in established colonials to outdoor living spaces in planned communities throughout Severna Park.

Decks & Porches FAQ for Severna Park, MD

What decking material works best for Severna Park homes?

For Severna Park homes in Benfield and Shipley's Choice, we recommend composite decking like Trex or TimberTech. Maryland humidity and UV exposure break down pressure-treated wood faster, and composite holds up better with no annual maintenance required.

Can you build a multi-level deck for a Severna Park colonial?

We design elevated and multi-level decks for Severna Park colonials in Benfield and Shipley's Choice. Features like composite decking, built-in seating, pergolas, and covered sections create outdoor living spaces that become the highlight of the home.

How much does it cost to build a deck in Maryland?

Deck costs in Anne Arundel and Howard County range from $15,000-$25,000 for a basic pressure-treated wood deck to $40,000-$80,000+ for larger composite decks with premium features. See our full Maryland deck building cost breakdown.

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.
