Deck Builders · Fairfax, VA
Custom deck building, deck installation, repair, resurfacing, railings, stairs, and outdoor living improvements for homes throughout Fairfax, VA.
Fairfax is where we do the largest share of our deck work. Many of the homes here were built with a modest pressure-treated deck off the kitchen or family room that has since aged past the point of sealing, which makes Fairfax equal parts new construction and replacement work.
We build new decks, replace old ones, resurface framing that is still sound, rebuild stairs and railings, and install paver patios below or beside the deck. Composite is the most requested surface here, though pressure-treated still makes sense on larger footprints.
New decks designed for your yard, grade, and door heights.
Low-maintenance composite and PVC surfaces with matching trim.
Pressure-treated and cedar decks at a lower entry cost.
Boards, stairs, railings, and framing repairs after an on-site look.
New surface and railings over framing that is still sound.
Aluminum, cable, composite, and wood railings plus stair runs.
Full rebuilds when repair is no longer the practical option.
Paver and stone patios, walkways, and deck-patio combinations.
Pergolas, privacy walls, built-in benches, and deck framing.
For a typical Fairfax family deck, standard composite with aluminum-style railing hits the balance most homeowners are after: no sealing, clean lines, and a cost that stays reasonable at 300 square feet or so.
No single decking material is the right answer for every project. The best choice depends on budget, how long you plan to stay, and how much maintenance you want to take on.
The example below is a planning concept, not a completed project record. It exists so you can see how scope, size, and material selection translate into a budget range before we visit.
Example Project and Planning Range
A 16×20 composite deck design with low-maintenance boards and contrasting railings, sized for a typical Fairfax rear yard.

Displayed prices are general Northern Virginia planning ranges and are not guaranteed estimates. Final pricing depends on dimensions, materials, framing condition, deck height, stairs, railings, demolition, property access, drainage, design complexity, engineering, permit requirements, HOA requirements, and the final written scope of work.

Twenty- and thirty-year-old Fairfax decks usually show wear at the stairs and railings first. Whether the fix is a repair, a resurface, or a replacement is decided after looking at the framing in person.
We do not assess a deck's structural condition from photographs or descriptions. An on-site evaluation is needed to determine the appropriate repair scope.
Deck repair services in Fairfax →Paver patios are a common Fairfax add-on, either as a standalone seating area or paired with a deck above on a walk-out lot.
We talk through how you want to use the space, rough size, materials you like, and the budget range you are planning around.
On site we look at grade, door heights, access, drainage, and — for existing decks — the condition of framing, posts, and stairs.
Footprint, stair placement, railing style, and decking selections are settled before pricing is finalized.
You get a written scope of work that states what is included so the number is tied to something specific.
Requirements depend on the property, jurisdiction, and scope. We confirm what applies to your project and what we will handle before work begins.
Framing, decking, stairs, railings, and any built-in features, with the site cleaned at the end of each phase.
We walk the finished deck with you, review care instructions for the material you chose, and close out any punch items.
A 16×20 composite deck generally plans in the $20,000–$32,000 range, and a comparable pressure-treated deck in the $9,000–$17,000 range. Both are planning ranges, not quotes.
Yes, up front. The gap narrows over time because composite does not need sanding, staining, or sealing.
Often. If the posts, beams, and ledger are sound, replacing the surface and railings is usually the better value.
Most single-level decks take one to three weeks of on-site work once materials arrive. Design and approvals happen before that.
Usually yes, provided the joist spacing and framing condition support the new product.
Permit and HOA requirements depend on the property, location, and final project scope. We confirm the requirements for your address before construction.
