About TrueDecks

TrueDecks is a family-owned and operated business based in Maryland that offers a wide range of services for your deck and patio needs. Whether you need deck or patio cleaning, sealing, repair, or construction, TrueDecks has the expertise and experience to handle any job with excellence.

Our Story

TrueDecks was founded in 1999 by Jose Ugalde, who had a vision to create a better and more efficient way of cleaning and restoring wood decks. As a former technician for a pressure washing company, Jose witnessed day after day how poor the cleaning methods were and how they caused damage to the wood of the deck. He knew that there had to be a better way.
 
Jose spent years testing and experimenting with different methods, chemicals, and pressure levels to find a safe yet effective method. Then, he pioneered the PressureLess™ cleaning and preservation system, which is a revolutionary process that removes dirt, debris, and old sealants and stains without harming the wood’s composition. Unlike power washing, this low-pressure system does not cause damages such as raising wood grain and causing splintering of the wood. It also uses a safe and effective chemical mix that opens the pores of the wood and restores its natural tone followed any our preservation system.
Since then, TrueDecks has grown to become one of the leading deck and patio companies in Maryland, DC and Virginia. We have served thousands of satisfied customers with our high-quality services and products. We have also expanded our services to include deck and patio construction, custom designs, deck repairs, exotic wood restoration and care, exterior house washing, and more. 
Jose Ugalde
As the industry is changing over the years and wood is becoming less reliable and composite deck materials such as Trex, Timbertech, Azek and Fiberon are becoming more affordable and best value, our company has adapted to the industry standards and customer’s demands in composite decking. We are always researching and innovating not only in deck restoration but also in best deck and patio construction practices and solutions. 
 
We are also experts in building paver patios, screened porches, gazebos, pergolas, fences and custom residential and commercial projects. No job is too small or too big for us.

Very fast, and looks great! Salvaged my porch that I thought was going to be a total tearoff.

Our deck was in pretty bad shape. It needed cleaning, staining, a post replaced and leveling. They did a fantastic job. I also had them replace some fence posts and rails on a split rail fence. Very satisfied with the fence work as well.

DeckMaster recently replaced the entire flooring of my deck as well as cleaning and staining the deck and fence. I am extremely happy with the job they did. My deck has never looked better. I have used DeckMaster before and plan to use them in future. They are professional, their work is excellent, and their prices are reasonable. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Highly recommended.

We recently replaced our backyard deck and installed a new patio with DeckMaster. We started out by speaking with 6 different companies and were most impressed with DeckMaster. They did an amazing job from start to finish. As part of our free estimate we even had the owner of the company come out to provide his insight to the project. He presented ideas we weren’t even thinking about that in the end made the design look fresh and modern. The crew was able to deliver the design and went above and beyond. We would highly recommend working with them.

I recently hired DeckMaster on an ambitious project to overhaul a large and intricate deck for my home, adding a screened-in porch and upper walkout. My experience was significantly enhanced by Pavel, who diligently supervised every stage from the removal of the old structure to the meticulous finishing touches on our new deck. Not only is Pavel exceptionally approachable and communicative, but he also brought forward valuable suggestions related to both functionality and aesthetics. Throughout the project, he displayed an unwavering commitment to ensuring our utmost satisfaction. While DeckMaster as a whole offers commendable service - we're thoroughly impressed with the management and craftsmanship - I'd particularly encourage you to collaborate with Pavel on your deck project. Here's a picture of the screened-in porch which has quickly become my new favorite room of the house.

DeckMaster is outstanding all around, from obtaining a quote, to service, to the project and final punch list. They are very responsive and on top of everything. I obtained them for two projects. A new front porch, with a gable roof, new paver decking, paver stairs, and railing system. Then a small side paver patio and new trex landing/decking/stairs and railing system coming from my kitchen access door. This company hires and trains great people, who all care and go above and beyond to get the job done, and done right. I'm looking forward to spending time on my new front porch, it's beautiful and tranquil. I'm extremely happy w/ DeckMaster, highly recommend them, and plan on using them to install a new 16 x 20 backyard patio next year! Kudo's to Jose, Pavel (project manager), Carlos, Emmanuel, and the entire team!

Deck Master achieved our vision of a minimalist and yet modern and low maintenance look to showcase new fresher style with less obstruction. Pavel, the project manager was professional and very responsive. The quotes he gave us was reasonable, affordable, and the workmanship was remarkable - even better than their most expensive competitor. Yelka has superb customer service and she really took care of our needs and questions. The work of the crew was meticulous. Not to mention Carlos who installed the Trex Signature Horizontal Rod Railing had such attention to details and took into consideration our feedback and made things look well done.

Had the best experience working with DeckMaster, Inc. My house has a historical designation which requires extra permitting and permission. Jose took care of all of that and he and his team fully replaced the existing deck with a much sturdier, better designed one. The whole process was smooth and efficient once the permitting was over, and I look forward to the final painting and finishing in the spring.

Deck Master (1) removed our old rotting ground level wooden deck and replaced it with a beautiful paver patio with sitting walls (2) replaced our deteriorating porch wooden steps with composite vinyl/trex lighted steps (3) replaced our porch screens, cleaned and stained porch all fascia boards including vinyl cladding on vertical fascia. All work was done in a very professional way with separate crews that specialized in the work that needed to be done including the demolition. Each crew would show up and work until work was completed and then clean up and remove all construction debris. Crews and construction managers and office managers were friendly and responsive to our concerns. All materials and installation were top quality resulting in an impressive finished product. I highly recommend Deck Master.
