Outdoor Living Spaces Contractor — Washington, DC and Maryland

Outdoor Living Spaces Contractor — Washington, DC and Maryland

A well-built outdoor space extends a home's living area and its value — but decks, structures, and grade-level work carry real structural and code requirements that distinguish lasting construction from liability. A&E Construction LLC designs and builds decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas across Washington, DC and Maryland, engineered for the load, permitted to code, and finished to last.

Structure, Permits, and Why They Matter

Elevated decks and attached structures are governed by code: footing depth, ledger attachment, guardrail load, and stair geometry are life-safety requirements, not optional details. A&E engages A&A Structures where engineering is needed, pulls the required permits, and builds to the inspection — so your outdoor space is safe, durable, and legal to use and to sell.

Our Process

1

Design & Estimate

A senior project manager reviews the site, discusses materials and layout, and issues a transparent estimate.

2

Permits & Engineering

We confirm setback and zoning requirements, engage structural engineering where required, and manage permits.

3

Construction

Yodie Narain and Site Superintendent Michael Chambers build to engineered details, with licensed partners for gas, electrical, and lighting.

4

Inspection & Turnover

Required inspections, punch list, and a written workmanship warranty.

Kitchen Remodeling Contractor

Gene Kuleta

The guys at A and E Construction are the best. They are responsive, creative and thorough. I hired them to build floating bookshelves, put up wallpaper in two rooms, create a niche for storage covered by a barn door and build furniture to contain filing cabinets. They exceeded my expectations. I had lots that I wanted done, and Eric and Chambers thought creatively about how to accomplish it.

Home Renovation Contractor

Paul Looker Provenza

I hired A and E Construction for a small bathroom renovation, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The communication from bidding to punch list was outstanding. Eric kept me updated every step of the way and helped work through material selection. The craftsmanship and quality of work from the crew was also excellent.

Local Government Contractor

Christopher Ahn

A and E Construction is highly recommended. Would recommend 10/10. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. We replaced our windows with A and E Construction and it was a very smooth and easy process. Eric explained every step of the process and answered all of our questions. Nothing but great things to say about Eric and his team!
