A deck is more than just an extension of your home or business—it’s an investment in comfort, style, and value. Homeowners enjoy having a dedicated space to relax, host gatherings, and take in the beauty of the outdoors. Businesses, from restaurants to event venues, can create inviting spaces that enhance their customer experience. A well-designed deck adds curb appeal, boosts property value, and provides a functional outdoor living area that can be enjoyed for years to come.

Wood and Composite Decks – Which One Is Right for You?

At Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence Co., we specialize in designing and installing both wood and composite decks to meet your specific needs and preferences. Wood decks offer a timeless, natural beauty that many homeowners love. They provide a warm, rustic aesthetic and can be stained or painted to match your home’s style. With proper maintenance, a wood deck can last for many years, giving you a classic and charming outdoor space.

On the other hand, composite decking is an excellent choice for those looking for a low-maintenance solution. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic, composite decks are highly resistant to staining and rot. They require minimal upkeep, meaning no staining or sealing is needed to keep them looking beautiful. Whether you prefer the authentic look of wood or the durability of composite, we have the perfect deck solution for you.

Deck Installation FAQs

If your question isn’t answered here, check out our full FAQ on our website. If your question still hasn’t been answered, contact us! We’re happy to answer any questions you may have.

Do I need a permit to build my deck?

In most instances if you are building a new deck on your home, you will be required to have a county permit if the new deck is more than 12″ above grade. If the deck is less than 12″ above grad you are not required to have a county permit because it is considered a patio and not a deck. Always check with your local permit and inspection office as these codes change from time to time.

Should I use a back beam at my house when I build my new deck?

This is a great question and we get asked it a lot. Some counties in the state of Maryland require a back beam on all decking projects. Prince Georges County is one of them. When we go out to design and estimate a new deck project, we always recommend a back beam if we are unclear as to how the original dwelling was framed and how the deck is going to be attached to the dwelling. What this means is most older homes (say, 10 years or older) have what they call a “solid ban board” on the house, whether it be a double 2×8 or 2×10, depending on how the house was framed originally. However, in today’s new housing market, most of the joists used in framing are either a web floor truss system or a TGI floor truss system which gives you no ability to attach the decking’s ledger board to the house properly, and in all cases you should have a back beam. Remember, you don’t want to be in the newspaper because your deck fell down or worse yet hurt or potentially kill yourself, friends or family. REMEMBER: SAFETY FIRST!

What fasteners do you recommend to attach my decking boards to my joists?

For pressure treated southern yellow pine decking, we recommend a 3″ ring shank nail approved for the new pressure treated ACQ pine. However, screws are better but take more time to install. IPE decking looks really good if you use the EB-TY biscuits and wherever you have to use a screw, set the screw into the material and use an IPE plug to fill the screw hole. This method is a nice clean look for IPE decking. We recommend doing the same with mahogany decking. On composite decking materials, most manufactures have their own attachment method which should be spelled out in their installation manual. Most are screw down, some are clip down such as correct deck which gives you the hidden fastener look. With vinyl or plastic decking, they to also have their own recommended fastening methods such as Veka decking. This can either be screwed down with color matched screws or by using deck master or fasten master deck clips. Plastic decking such as Four Seasons or Trimax decking have their own clip system (which have hidden fasteners) for attaching their decking products to the joists.

Will my new composite decking fade or stain?

It is normal for composite decking materials to fade (generally 15 to 20% of its original color) over time. This is part of the normal weathering process of composite decking. Staining has always been an ongoing issue with composite decking, however most manufactures have care and cleaning tips posted on their websites.
