J&A Deck & Fence, a contractor based in Montgomery County, Maryland, is centering its business on custom deck construction, organizing its residential and commercial work around composite decking partnerships with manufacturers including Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon. The move formalizes a direction the company has followed as demand for low-maintenance composite decks has grown across the region.
The company designs and builds decks in composite, wood, and PVC, and manages each project from initial design through permitting, framing, and final construction. During the design phase, J&A produces 3D models that let homeowners preview the finished structure and adjust materials, railings, and layout before any work begins. Permit acquisition and coordination with local building requirements are handled in-house, which the company says reduces the delays that often affect outdoor construction projects.
Its builds range from platform and multi-level decks to freestanding, rooftop, pool, curved, and covered designs. Framing options include wood, steel, aluminum, and composite, selected to suit the span, elevation, and load of each project. Deck skirting in lattice, wood, or composite finishes the base of raised structures, and for elevated decks the company installs under-deck drainage systems that create a dry, usable area beneath the platform. Railings and integrated lighting are fitted during construction rather than added afterward.
Composite decking now accounts for much of that work. Boards from manufacturers such as Trex and TimberTech resist fading, staining, and moisture, and hold up to the region's humidity and seasonal freeze-and-thaw cycles with less upkeep than traditional lumber. The company continues to build with pressure-treated wood, cedar, and hardwoods for clients who prefer natural materials, and with PVC where moisture resistance is the priority. Material choice depends heavily on sun exposure, proximity to a pool, and how each homeowner plans to use the space, and the company reviews those factors with clients during design.
"Most homeowners who call us already know they want a deck that lasts and doesn't need a weekend of maintenance every spring," said Josh Arrington, owner of J&A Deck & Fence. "Building our work around composite systems lets us match the material to the site and the budget instead of starting from scratch on every project."
Alongside new construction, J&A provides deck maintenance and repair, including cleaning, sealing, staining, refinishing, pressure washing, resurfacing, and structural repair. Handling both construction and upkeep allows homeowners to keep a single contractor from the initial build through long-term care, and gives the company a direct record of how its own decks perform over years of use.
"A deck is a long-term investment, so we stay involved after the build," Arrington said. "The upkeep is what keeps it sound and looking right for years, and that's easier when the same team that built it handles the maintenance."
Decks anchor a broader outdoor-living practice that also includes fencing in wood, vinyl, composite, and ornamental metal, patios in paver and natural stone, and structures such as pergolas, arbors, and porches. The company positions those services as complements to its deck work, so homeowners can plan a connected outdoor space rather than contracting each element separately. J&A works with both residential homeowners and commercial property owners, scaling the same design-and-build process from single-family backyards to larger commercial installations.
