Weathered gray pressure-treated deck with loose railing behind a Fairfax VA colonial before replacementNew gray composite deck with black aluminum railings and wide stairs behind a Fairfax VA brick colonial

Fairfax, VA · Fairfax County

Composite Deck Replacement in Fairfax, VA

A 1990s pressure-treated deck off the rear of a Fairfax colonial had reached the end of its service life — cupped boards, a loose railing, and moss holding water on the surface. The rebuild keeps the same footprint but changes the material, the railing, and the stair location.

Cramped weathered wood deck and worn stairs in a narrow Arlington VA townhouse rear yard before rebuildCompact composite townhouse deck in Arlington VA with built-in bench seating, black railing and string lights at dusk

Arlington, VA · Arlington County

Small Townhouse Deck in Arlington, VA

Arlington townhouse yards are narrow, fenced on both sides, and often have no staging area for materials. This rebuild trades a cramped wood deck and rotting stair stringers for a compact composite deck that uses built-in seating instead of bulky furniture.

Ashburn, VA · Loudoun County

Multi-Level Deck with Pergola in Ashburn, VA

A lot of Loudoun County housing stock came with a builder-grade wood deck that is now twenty years old. This example replaces one with a two-level composite deck: a dining level at the door and a lower lounge level, tied together with a pergola for shade.

Vienna, VA · Fairfax County

Deck Stair and Railing Repair in Vienna, VA

Not every deck needs replacing. Here the field framing was sound but the stair stringers had rotted at the base and the railing had separated from its posts — the two things most likely to cause an injury.

Springfield, VA · Fairfax County

Paver Patio Under an Elevated Deck in Springfield, VA

Split-level homes across Springfield and Burke share the same problem: the rear door sits high, the yard slopes away, and the ground under the deck stays wet. This example adds a paver patio at grade so the property gains a second usable space.

Cupped sun-bleached wood deck boards with popped nails on a McLean VA home before resurfacingResurfaced deck with light gray composite boards, hidden fasteners and black cable railing in wooded McLean VA backyard

McLean, VA · Fairfax County

Deck Resurfacing Over Existing Framing in McLean, VA

Resurfacing only makes sense when the framing underneath is genuinely sound. On this McLean deck it was — the boards were cupped and the nails had popped, but the joists, beams, and footings inspected clean, so the substructure stayed.

Leesburg, VA · Loudoun County

Covered Deck Addition in Leesburg, VA

Newer Loudoun County homes often close with a rear slider that opens onto nothing but a step-down and grass. This example adds a roofed deck so the space is usable in rain and in the worst of a Virginia August.

Small rotting low wood deck with overgrown edges behind a Manassas VA rambler before rebuildNew pressure-treated wood deck with wide stairs and wood railing behind a Manassas VA rambler

Manassas, VA · Prince William County

Pressure-Treated Deck Rebuild in Manassas, VA

Composite is not the right answer for every project. This Manassas example replaces a small, rotting low deck with a larger pressure-treated deck — the framing and detailing are the same standard we use on a composite job, the surface is just less expensive.
