"My name is Nana Camara. I needed a deck built in my backyard, so I went online and found Excel. From the start, the communication was excellent. Thomas took care of everything — he was professional, understanding, and really listened to what I wanted. I didn’t have any cash on hand, but Thomas helped me get approved through a bank, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He even gave me different options to choose from based on my needs and budget. Now, thanks to Excel and Thomas, I have a beautiful new deck and I’m ready to enjoy the summer! I’m so grateful for how easy they made everything. I highly recommend Excel if you're looking to get a fence or deck done — and definitely ask for Thomas!"

"I was impressed by the results that the team that build our new deck (John K., Teo, Fernando, and Lester) produced. They accurately followed the agreed upon design, adapting professionally as necessary to any surprises they encountered, ultimately designing and building a deck that exceeded my expectations. It's beautiful and sturdy - and construction itself took only 2 days, from start to finish! Our family and neighbors have already complimented it without solicitation, and I won't hesitate to recommend Fence & Deck Connection to my friends, neighborhood, and family as a result of the efforts of the team that I named here!"

"CLM was very professional throughout the project from my first call asking for an estimate to the project being finished. The ladies at the office are very professional and nice. They helped me set up the estimate and scheduled the work being done. They answered all of my questions and concerns. Carlos and the crew was on time and finished the project in a timely manner. They removed the old fence and installed a new fence to our liking. They cleaned up and hauled the fencing away. Carlos also did an estimate for a new project and explained to me in detail and gave me ideas for the project. I hope they can meet our budget because I am excited."

"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

FAQs for projects in Essex, MD

A shadowbox fence arranges boards on alternating sides of the rails with small gaps between them, creating an identical appearance from both sides while allowing some airflow between the boards. Standard privacy fences place all boards on one side with no gaps, creating a solid barrier. The shadowbox design requires more lumber to achieve the alternating pattern, but provides the benefit of an attractive appearance for both the homeowner and neighbors.

Installation timelines depend on the length of your fence, site conditions, and weather factors. Professional fence contractors can complete standard residential projects efficiently, while DIY installations require more time, especially if you're learning the techniques or working alone. Factors like rocky soil, slope challenges, or the need for multiple gates can extend the timeline for any installation project.

Maintenance requirements vary by material choice. Pressure-treated lumber requires the most attention, needing to be stained or sealed every two to three years. Cedar and redwood need treatment every three to five years. Composite and vinyl options require minimal maintenance, with only occasional cleaning needed. All fence types benefit from periodic inspections to address any developing issues before they worsen.

Shadowbox fences perform well in windy conditions because their design allows some air to pass through the spaces between boards, reducing the overall wind pressure on the structure. This partial airflow makes them less susceptible to wind damage than solid privacy fences. For maximum stability in particularly windy locations, ensure posts are properly set according to recommended depths based on your fence height.
