Before Deck Replacement After Deck Replacement

Full Deck Replacement: Built from the Ground Up

When rot, water damage, or structural wear compromises your deck’s underlying joists and support posts, a simple resurfacing isn’t enough. If the structural foundation is unsafe, a full deck replacement is necessary to protect your home and family.

 

  • Tear Down & Dispose: If you have an existing structure, we carefully dismantle and dispose your existing deck old boards, joists, and posts.

  • New Structural Framing: We build a solid, code-compliant foundation using heavy-duty pressure-treated wood framing designed for maximum stability.

  • Custom Finishing: We install your choice of wood or composite surface boards, custom railing systems, stairways, and built-in lighting to complete your brand-new

Deck Resurfacing: The Smart, Cost-Effective Upgrade

When aging boards or structural framing reach the end of their lifespan, our team safely dismantles your old deck and builds a modern, durable replacement with quality new materials. If the frame is still structurally sound, we can preserve it and upgrade the surface boards, trim, and stairs with modern composite for a refreshed, low-maintenance or wood finish.

Custom Decking

While many standard decks can be modified to fit almost any property, if you want a deck that’s made for your home then there’s only one thing to build: A custom deck. Custom decks have soared in popularity over the last few decades, and it’s not hard to see why. They offer complete control over your deck, allowing you to create a deck that’s a perfect backyard oasis. Excel Fencing and Decking will work with you to build a custom deck that fits your needs and budget. Our expert craftsmen are the best deck builders in Maryland and can build classic wooden and durable composite custom decks of the highest quality.

Composite Decking vs. Natural Wood Decking

Finding the right decking material depends on your budget, style preferences, and how much time you want to spend on routine maintenance. We specialize in both major decking options to ensure your home gets the exact look and durability you need.

Low-Maintenance Composite Decking

Engineered for ultimate longevity without the hassle of staining, sealing, or board rot. We install leading brands like Fiberon and TimberTech to give you a gorgeous wood-grain finish that withstands Maryland weather year-round.

Pressure-Treated Wood Decking

Nothing matches the natural warmth and affordability of real pressure-treated or hardwood decking. It remains the most budget-friendly way to construct a sturdy, reliable deck while giving you complete flexibility to refresh its appearance whenever you choose.

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.
