"Our house looks amazing and the price was beyond reasonable. This should be a 5 star review and we had every plan to hirer owner Neil and his team again for decking project. The work was performed over 5 really cold days in Feb; the team was timely, professional and incredibly considerate of the pets being in and out of the yard. Unfortunately we are still waiting for a follow up from the business on a few touch ups on a small encasement that was missed. I spoke with Mr. Snyder on the phone March 3 and sent photos via text message as requested on March 4th and again on the 17th. We have yet to hear back on any resolution. I hate using this approach of down scoring and will happily update this review to a 5 once the few items are completed. It just makes me anxious that any 10 year workmanship warranty won't be honored."

I started Straka Contracting over a decade ago in Howard County after having gained considerable experience in all areas of home improvement. Much of that know-how came from working with my father who has been in the trade since the 1960s. Today we serve the central Maryland area with a full array of services including remodeling, additions, decks, fencing, roofing, skylights, siding, windows, doors, gutters and gutter guards. Straka Contracting is dedicated to quality work and we offer a guarantee to back it up on every job. What’s more, when I take on work I am personally involved from beginning to end, making sure things are done properly. Karel Straka, Owner Straka Contracting
"I have used Straka Contracting multiple times over the last 7 years, most recently for a MBA renovation and installation of new windows. The work they do is top notch! Karel, the owner, is extremely easy to work with and very trustworthy. The quality and attention to detail can't be beat. In fact, the quality of the work is so high that a neighbor also hired Straka Contracting to build his deck because he was so impressed by their work. If ever I need work done at my house, Straka Contracting is my first and only call."

Pool deck installation time hinges on deck size and complexity. Pros can generally finish a 100- to 300-square-foot deck in five to seven days. Extra steps—site prep, hardscaping, tree removal, or a multi-level design—can stretch the timeline to two to four weeks. Use these ranges to plan your project schedule.
Start by choosing a proportionate deck or a walk-around design. For a proportionate deck, match the deck’s square footage to the pool’s. For a walk-around deck, measure the pool, add four feet on every side, then subtract the pool’s area from the total. This quick calculation tells you the exact walk-around size you need.
Resurface your pool deck during installation only if the existing surface shows cracks or wear. A fresh layer provides a uniform appearance and enhances durability. If your pool’s surface is still in good shape, hold off and keep that money in your budget. The key is weighing current condition against long-term value.
