What to Ask Any Deck Builder in Maryland
Comparing builders? Here are the four questions we'd ask, and our answers.
-
Are you licensed in Maryland?
-
Yes. Modern Builders holds Maryland license MHIC# 167591. We're also licensed in Delaware under DE 2025714407.
-
What decking do you install?
-
Craft-Bilt aluminum decking and railings. We're an authorized distributor, so we sell and install the product ourselves.
-
Can one company handle the railings and the shade?
-
Yes. We install aluminum and topless glass railings, Aristocrat awnings and solar shades, and BetterRoom sunrooms, so you deal with one contractor from start to finish.
-
Can you work with my existing deck?
-
Yes. We start with what you have and tell you what the project needs.
Built Around Boards That Don't Twist or Decay
As a deck builder in Maryland, we choose materials that don't create future repairs. Craft-Bilt aluminum boards don't twist or decay, and the surface is skid-resistant. Modern Builders is an authorized Craft-Bilt distributor, so we install what we sell.
Aluminum and Glass: The Two Railing Systems We Install
-
Aluminum Decking & Aluminum Railings: Craft-Bilt aluminum decking and aluminum railings work together as one system. The deck looks finished from the stairs to the top rail, with boards that resist twisting and decay and a surface that grips underfoot.
-
Topless Glass Railings: Craft-Bilt's Structural Glass Railing pairs clear glass with precision-machined aluminum components and a weather-resistant finish, built for UV rays, moisture, and temperature swings. With no top rail, nothing blocks the view.
-
Outdoor Living in Maryland: A deck is where the project starts, not where it has to end. Add an awning to cut the afternoon sun, or a sunroom to use the space in more seasons. We handle all of it, so one contractor plans the whole outdoor space.
Already have a deck? We start with what's there. We build residential and commercial decks and railings.
Sunrooms & Awnings
-
BetterRoom Sunrooms: A sunroom turns your outdoor space into a room you can use in more seasons. We handle sunroom additions and renovations as an authorized BetterRoom Sunrooms distributor.
-
Aristocrat Awnings & Solar Shades: Direct sun can keep you off your own deck. We install Aristocrat awnings and solar shades so you can use the space when you want to.
