(3/2022) Main Street Thurmont welcomed deck building company Master Deck Builders, with a ribbon cutting ceremony February 5th.

As the name suggests, Master Deck Builders are experts in all aspects of deck construction, repair, removal, remodeling, and more! The company provides one of a kind custom deck building and repair services to the community.

Proprietor and master builder Larry Stambaugh has been in business for over 35 years and had previously worked exclusively out of his home office in Rocky Ridge.

Stambaugh is excited to finally be able to bring his passion to a brick-and-mortar store in Thurmont. "It didn’t feel like home anymore, I needed a separate area to grow the business," he said.

Stambaugh credited Thurmont’s welcoming atmosphere for helping make the decision for him to set up shop in town.

Despite material shortages faced nationwide, Stambaugh is confident in his and his team’s skills to speak for themselves and the team already has three or four big projects lined up for the upcoming season.

Stambaugh's favorite aspect of deck building is providing nothing less than complete customer satisfaction. "It’s about seeing the finished project and standing back and marveling," he said.

Often the most challenging and time-consuming, but nonetheless satisfying projects involve repairs and rehabilitations to aging wood and "making it look beautiful again," he said. "The best part is when you complete a project, and you step back and take a photo."

Stambaugh says customers have been even brought to tears because they love the quality of work performed by him and his team. "In the end, it’s all worth it," he said.

Everyone is invited to come into the location as a "please touch museum" and cycle through past project albums to see all the choices of products including flooring colors and railing models for that perfect deck.

The team is ready to tackle any project large or small and now is an excellent time to get started planning home improvement projects.

"Whether it’s tearing out an old deck, remodeling a current deck or customizing a brand-new deck, the team at Master Deck Builders has the resources and expertise to personalize a deck to your taste", said Stambaugh proudly.
