Get matched with top deck pros in Patuxent River, MD

"We are pleased overall with the composite deck we received. It took a little longer than was initially communicated to begin the project, but once work started they finished in less than a week. Great quality and responsive customer service. I would use this company again in the future."

"Deane and his team did an outstanding job with installing my deck (12’x24’composite Deck including (2) 3’wide staircases). Deane and his company provided the full customer service from the beginning to the end of the project. During my initial project phase of getting contractor quotes, Deane provided some useful recommendations on the initial deck design layout including the relocation of the hose bib, which if not moved, would have been inaccessible from under the finished deck. My other deck contractor quotes did not include this observation and recommendation. In addition, Deane also recommended finishing the perimeter under the deck by removing the sod and replacing it with a foundation consisting of a weed barrier, crushed gravel and a 4x4 treated timber around the deck perimeter to give it a more finished look under the deck. Once I selected Deane and his company to build the deck, Deane kept me informed along the way with respect to the project schedule. All aspects of the project were handled by Deane including providing the necessary HOA documents and sample decking materials for the approval process, acquiring the necessary county permits and inspections and finally answering all of my questions as the project progressed. The quality and craftmanship of the deck build are outstanding. I would recommend and plan to utilize Deane's company, Berith Builders, for my future home improvement projects."

"After doing much research I hired John Krause Construction for a very large project: Sunroom addition, deck, patio, front hardscape and landscape with design of my entire house and yard! John came out personally and was very honest and his pricing was fair. They did an amazing job taking my vision and making it a reality. The crews were efficient and responsive. I will use them in the future."

"Patio was designed with stone color coordination. Construction was superb and in a timely fashion. Close attention to rain run-off and other climate conditions. No disruption to attached neighbors’ dwellings. Enjoying it immensely!"

"They replaced our gutter system that was damaged in a wind storm. They did everything they said they would do. They worked fast and did a great job. Would definitely recommend."

"The whole team was very professional and easy to communicate with. Addressed every question and concern I had in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend them. They did an APlus job on my deck. Even called after it was completed to make sure that I was satisfied. I Love My Deck!!"

"5-Star Review for Ellis Construction LLC – Outstanding Work and Professionalism! I recently had the pleasure of hiring Ellis Construction LLC, owned and operated by Mr. Patrick Ellis, to complete a much-needed structural repair on my upper deck and tiki bar. I had no prior connection to the company, but after reading numerous positive online reviews highlighting Mr. Ellis’s hands-on approach, 20+ years of experience, and pride in craftsmanship, I decided to give him a call—and I’m incredibly glad I did. The project involved replacing a critical 6x6 support post that had rotted at the base and was causing the deck to lean. As you can imagine, this situation had me seriously concerned about both safety and potential long-term damage. Mr. Ellis understood the urgency and approached the job with confidence, professionalism, and care. From start to finish, Mr. Ellis and his assistant were prompt, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to cut out the old concrete, inspect and secure the footers, and replace the post properly—restoring both the structural integrity and my peace of mind. The quality of his work and attention to detail was obvious. It’s clear he takes great pride in what he does, and he’s not satisfied until the job is done right. It’s rare these days to find a contractor who is as skilled, honest, and personally involved as Mr. Ellis. His friendly demeanor, clear communication, and deep expertise made the entire process easy and stress-free. As of July 2025, the work has been completed and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I highly recommend Ellis Construction LLC to anyone in need of deck repairs or general construction services. If you want the job done right by someone who truly cares, look no further than Patrick Ellis."

"Colin came to the house and spent a lot of time with me deciding what would the best deck for my house would look like. After several days of me bothering him incessently he patiently layed out for me what turned out to be an absolutely stunning deck. The quality of work is beyond anything I have seen in my neighbors and friends decks. Colin worked with me on the price and he took a hit on the chin when the design ran into a problem with the landscape of my yard. He corrected the design and added a wrap around to account for my yard issues. He refused to add a penny to the job for the change even though it cost him supplies and time."

"All this in a matter of a few shorts weeks, not months. 
Then when everything was said and done and Deck Cetera had already been paid all of their money the front door was damaged and they came out in record time and repair it. 
I would recommend Deck Cetera to anyone and everyone.  In fact we did on Memorial Day, anyone who wanted to know we told them.  That?s Deck Cetera you all.  Thanks Deck Cetera for making a big project pain free for us.  You rock!!!
