Decks built with Maryland's weather cycle in mind.
"Added a deck extension with stairs and a large cement pad. Workers showed up on time, matched existing deck and were professional. CBJ listened to our needs and made sure we were happy with the work before closing the job. We are happy with the results and I would recommend this company to friends looking for exterior work done."

Common questions about building a deck in Baltimore. Still have more — just call or send us a message.
Most decks are built in 1–2 weeks once permits are approved. Larger or multi-level decks may take 2–3 weeks. Permit approval timelines vary by jurisdiction in Baltimore County.
Yes. We're responsible for many of the decks across the Baltimore skyline. Bring one of our experts out and they'll tell you what we need to do.
Yes, most decks require a building permit in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. CBJ Home Improvement handles all permit applications so you don't have to worry about it.
No — as long as the dimensions of the deck are maintained and there is no major structural work being done, a repair does not require a permit in Maryland. Replacing boards, railings, and surface-level components is considered maintenance, not new construction.
It varies. We've done decking projects from $6,000 to over $90,000. There are many factors at play, from the types of materials in your deck to the scope of the project. The best way to get a real number is to have us come out and take a look.
No. Power washing forces water deep into the wood fibers, which causes swelling, splintering, and accelerates rot. It also strips the stain and damages the surface of the boards. If your deck needs cleaning, a gentle wash with the right cleaner is the way to go — not a pressure washer.
Yes. We handle the entire permitting process for you. The cost will vary depending on the complexity of the permit process for your specific project, but we take care of all the paperwork and applications so you don't have to.
