Decks · Garrett Park
Why Garrett Park homeowners hire us.
A Garrett Park deck is framed behind a small-lot town house, and the town permit guidance names decks along with additions and porches.
The Garrett Park town estimate in the 2024 five-year American Community Survey counts 313 owner-occupied units and an owner share of 96.6 percent. Confirm whether the parcel is inside the historic district before the packet order is set. Historic-district houses start with the county Historic Area Work Permit, then the town building permit, then Montgomery County.
The ledger and the stair are checked on the house before lumber is ordered. The Garrett Park deck figure comes from a free written estimate after a site walk on the town lot.
For this area, see Permits in Montgomery County: what to expect.
Deck permits
A Garrett Park deck does not skip the town filing just because Montgomery County also reviews it. The two permits are sequential, with the town application ahead of the county building permit.

Questions about decks in Garrett Park
Does a Garrett Park deck need both a town permit and a county permit?+
Yes. The town building permit is applied for before the Montgomery County building permit, and a deck is named in that town guidance. A house in the Garrett Park historic district also needs the county Historic Area Work Permit first.
Is the town processing note a build schedule?+
No. The town says applicants should allow several weeks, and that inadequate or incorrect information can stretch the timeline. Deck outlets, when the design includes them, are an electrician permit. Real Elite coordinates that trade and does not wire the deck.
