Wood Decking Services in Maryland

The Value & Beauty of Real Wood Decks

Whether you are looking to maximize your home’s resale value before moving or simply prefer the authentic warmth and grain of real timber, a wood deck installation is the ideal option for you. While composite decking is popular, it isn’t always the right financial or aesthetic fit, especially if you are looking for more affordable decking options.

High-Quality Pressure-Treated Lumber

The most widely used natural wood decking material for many decades, roughly 75% of all new deck construction is done with pressure-treated (PT) lumber, and there are plenty of good reasons why. Chiefly, pressure-treated lumber is the most affordable, and widely manufactured wooden decking material. The majority of pressure-treated wood decks are cut from southern yellow pine. The wood Excel uses is specially treated to repel wood-damaging insects, decay, and fungus. It’s worth noting that PT wood does require some routine maintenance too, including an annual power washing and an application of stain or clear wood preservative every two or three years to prevent cracking.

Wood Deck Lifespan & Ongoing Maintenance

A natural wood deck is an affordable way to add outdoor living space to your home, with lower upfront costs than composite materials. But Maryland weather can take a toll on wood, so regular maintenance helps keep your deck looking good and in prime condition.

With proper care, a pressure-treated wood deck has an expected lifespan of 15 to 20 years or more. Because natural wood is prone to moisture absorption, UV fading, and eventual rot if neglected, it requires an annual power wash alongside a protective stain or sealant every 2 to 3 years. Investing a small amount of time into regular maintenance for your wood deck will ensure a longer lasting structure.

This is the second time we have used Excel for a deck and we also added a black aluminum fence which turned out awesome for both jobs! The staff is friendly and very easy to work with and the crew is top-notch! They cleaned up everything and the fence and deck look absolutely amazing! We could not be more thrilled with the results! Highly recommend!

We had Excel build a new 6 x 10 covered front porch. They did an excellent job. I was impressed with the way they conducted themselves while working – no inappropriate conversations or language. The materials used were of a good quality. The porch is sturdy and looks great. People who see pictures are surprised to learn that the porch was not original to the house. Any questions or concerns were addressed right away and to our satisfaction. In addition, Charlie stopped by to check on things on a regular basis. We are very satisfied with the job.

We had Excel rebuild our covered patio, the two young men that did the work were very polite and always on time. When the job was completed they cleaned the work site and checked with me to see if everything was done right. I will use them again very soon. Thank you Excel Team.

Company representative was very knowledgeable, not high pressure and professional and was available throughout the project. Company delivered as promised and followed up to make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend Excel and in fact have further projects that we will be hiring them for.

We chose Excel fencing because of their stellar reviews and could not have been happier. Charlie’s estimate came in at around the same cost as other estimates we had gotten. Charlie had a variety of options to choose from and was very helpful in determining which design would be the best for us. The fence itself was not complicated, but we had numerous issues with getting permits and with our HOA. Charlie went the extra mile by contacting our HOA directly and going to the permits office multiple times.  We will definitely be contacting Charlie again when we are ready to have a deck built.
