Maryland weather asks a lot of an outdoor deck. Summer humidity, autumn rain, and winter freeze-thaw cycles all test how a deck holds up year after year. For homeowners in Mt Airy and the surrounding area planning a new outdoor space, choosing the right material and design approach makes a meaningful difference in how long that deck looks and performs its best.
Cedarbrook Outdoor Design/Build, a family-owned design/build firm based in Mt Airy, has spent close to two decades building outdoor living spaces across Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, and Washington counties. Founded in 2006 by Mike Arneson Jr., the firm has completed more than 1,500 projects and works in composite, PVC, wood, and bamboo decking.
A few things worth knowing if you are starting to plan a composite deck:
Material matters for the climate. Composite and PVC decking resist moisture, insects, and fading, which suits Maryland's seasonal swings well. Each material carries different maintenance and performance characteristics worth comparing before you decide.
Design comes before construction. Cedarbrook uses a 3D design and rendering process so homeowners can preview layouts, railing, and lighting before any building begins. This helps confirm the details and avoids surprises during the build.
Credentials reflect the work. Cedarbrook is a TimberTech Platinum Pro certified contractor and NADRA Deck Evaluation and Inspection Certified, and was named the 2023 Yellawood Deck Specialist of the Year. The firm is also a Remodeling Magazine Big50 Recognized company.
Every Cedarbrook project is backed by a 10-year carpentry workmanship warranty, a 3-year hardscape warranty, and a lifetime warranty on alternative-framed structures.
If you are a Mt Airy homeowner thinking about an outdoor project this season, understanding your material options and the design process upfront can help you plan with confidence.
