A deck addition is an easy, non-intrusive, and valuable way to add additional living space to your home. In Montgomery County, Maryland and Fairfax County, Virginia homeowners can expect to use their deck for 9 months out of the year. By using low maintenance decking and taking the appropriate precautions during winter months, home owners can expect 20-25 years out of the deck project.
