Things To Consider

Going Maintenance Free

有限公司mposite decking is a popular choice for outdoor decks due to its numerous advantages over traditional wood decking. Here are some reasons why customers choose composite decking:

Durability:有限公司mposite decking is designed to be highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, sunlight, moisture, and insect damage. Unlike wood, it does not splinter, warp, or rot over time, making it a low-maintenance option.

Longevity:有限公司mposite decking has a longer lifespan compared to wood decking. It is engineered to be resistant to fading, staining, and mold growth, ensuring that it maintains its appearance and structural integrity for many years. Some manufacturers even offer warranties of up to 50 years.

Low maintenance:Unlike wood decking, composite decking does not require regular staining, sealing, or painting. It can be easily cleaned with soap and water, reducing the need for time-consuming maintenance tasks. This makes it an attractive choice for homeowners who want to spend more time enjoying their deck rather than maintaining it.

Aesthetics:有限公司mposite decking comes in a wide variety of colors, styles, and finishes, allowing homeowners to achieve the desired look for their outdoor space. Whether you prefer the appearance of natural wood or a more contemporary design, there are composite decking options to suit various aesthetic preferences.

Eco-friendly:Many composite decking materials are made from recycled plastic and wood fibers, making them an environmentally friendly choice. By using composite decking, you can help reduce the demand for new timber and contribute to the conservation of forests.

Safety:有限公司mposite decking is designed to be slip-resistant, even when wet, which is especially beneficial in areas prone to rain or near pools. The material is also free from splinters, making it safer for barefoot walking.

Value:While the upfront cost of composite decking may be higher than that of wood, it often provides better long-term value. The reduced maintenance requirements and extended lifespan can offset the initial investment over time.


Overall, composite decking offers a durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional wood decking, making it a popular choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting and hassle-free outdoor living space.

Resurface or Replace?

The decision to replace just the deck boards or the entire deck depends on several factors, including the condition of the existing deck, your budget, and your long-term plans for the space. Here are some considerations to help you make an informed decision:

有限公司ndition of the Existing Deck:Evaluate the overall condition of your deck, including the deck frame, joists, and supports. If the underlying structure is in good shape, without signs of significant damage or rot, it may be possible to replace only the decking boards. However, if the deck frame is compromised or shows signs of structural issues, it might be necessary to replace the entire deck for safety reasons.

Age and Maintenance:有限公司nsider the age of the existing deck and how well it has been maintained. If the deck is relatively new and has been regularly maintained, it may make more sense to replace only the deck boards. However, if the deck is old, has had significant wear and tear, and has not been adequately maintained, it may be more cost-effective and practical to replace the entire deck for better long-term durability.

有限公司st Considerations:Replacing the entire deck will generally involve higher costs compared to replacing just the decking boards. It involves removing the old deck entirely, including the frame, and constructing a new deck from scratch. If budget is a concern, replacing only the deck boards can be a more affordable option.

Desired Changes or Upgrades:有限公司nsider any desired changes or upgrades you may want for your deck. If you want to modify the size, shape, or layout of your deck or incorporate new features like additional levels, stairs, or railings, it may be more practical to replace the entire deck to accommodate those changes.

Future Plans:Think about your long-term plans for the space. If you envision significant changes or expansions in the future, it might be more efficient and cost-effective to replace the entire deck now to meet your future needs.

Largest Product Selections in Maryland

We have both an indoor and outdoor showcase of all our products, including on duty showroom assistants to help you with any questions and design. We also offer free samples of product to take home.

有限公司mfortable Sales Process

The customer experience is our first priority. This is a big deal and we want to make it as stress free and comfortable as possible. Our sales people are trained on a no pressure sales method. When we give an estimate, there is no haggling. We itemize everything and write up the best price we can, hand it to the customer and leave.

To simplify our vast assortment of products, we segment the selections into price tiers to fit each customer's budget so they can pick from an assortment that won't affect the price. We clearly label all of our selections so when you visit, there is no "how much is this?" or "is this included?" You can feel comfortable picking out your products.

Professional Grade Deck Materials

All of our products are Pro-Grade meaning that they are intended to be installed by qualified contractors for hire and must meet a higher quality standard than what is found in a typical department store. Whether you are using Wood, Composite, PVC, or Vinyl Material, it will be from a reputable manufacturer such as Azek, Timbertech, and Fiberon.

We Overbuild Our Structures

We are not your average local deck contractor. In our opinion, Maryland building code is not good enough. Whenever possible we build our decks with 12" on center joists (16" code) and 2x10 joists (typically 2x8" is code). This gives our decks a concrete feel when walking on them by taking away bounce. Not to mention, this accounts for future abuse by keeping the deck safe when it's pushed beyond its design limits.

The crew from Creative was great from start to finish. They took our vision of what we wanted and made it happen. We could not have been more happy with the job they did.

They were very professional and responsive. Took care of the permit process for me. They came out to discuss solutions and ended up going with a stair design that I haven’t seen yet in the neighbourhood. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone

We had 2 decks built and were extremely pleased with the service provided by Creative Deck. We shopped around and they were the best value. Gary Beard was friendly, responsive, patient and clear. They had a range of products so we could stay in our budget or go higher end. The workers who built the deks were hardworking, courteous, and knowledgeable. They showed up, did a super job, and cleaned up afterward. We love the way the decks turned out and I have already recommended them to my sister. Just FYI: the Fiberon decking material we chose did take 10 weeks to arrive, so we had to wait for our project, but that would be true for any builder in 2021.

From the sales person (Gary) who came to my house to the guy who delivered to the materials (Joe) to the two guys who did the work (Calvin & Jimmy), the quality of service and the experience were excellent. Everyone was professional and conscientious. Calvin and Jimmy really knew their stuff, they were precise and thorough and really were concerned that I liked the end product. I love my new deck, and I would recommend Creative Deck Designs & Fence to anyone.

Creative Deck Design provides excellent customer service. The representative, G. Beard, is reliable, responds to calls when needed in a timely fashion. Gary has a foresight in drawing up the prints and very helpful of designing the deck. He was also helpful in what is the most cost effective choice. The crew, lead by G. Hollingshead, finished the deck within 3 weeks and they went beyond their duties when we asked if they would remove an old heavy hockey table when they removed the old deck. I am very pleased and I recommend this company if you want perfection.
Chandra Wiggins

Although there were a few minor adjustments that had to be made Creative Deck Designs & Fence did an excellent job extending our deck, the crew were on time, very professional and responsive. We are very pleased with the outcome. I would definitely use them for future work as well as recommend them to family and friends.

Creative Deck Designs and Fence just installed our new deck. When they originally came out, they layed out some great ideas. They even suggested a cement company to lay a patio under the deck. That took one day to complete. Once the deck was built, it looked great. They even had to break through a wall with a window, to install a sliding door. The door install team did a super job also. I thought I would have to paint after they were finished. To my surprise they did such a great job, no painting was needed. Wow. If your looking for a great company to install a deck or fence, Creative deck is the company to call. Great workmanship with a fare price. One final note when you call them during business hours, you get a real live person on the other end of the line. No need to leave a message or text them. Yea

我们发现估计要箍和销售流程ightforward and easy. We were told to expect a deck between 4 to 12 weeks of deposit. Sure enough by the 4th week we had a deck, ahead of expectations.

The crew they sent was friendly, consistent and thorough.

I am looking forward to enjoying a full summer with beautiful my deck!
