Why hire a licensed general contractor?
Remodeling work that touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or the building envelope requires county permits and passed inspections in Northern Virginia. Working with a licensed, insured general contractor means:
- Permits and inspections handled — the GC files the paperwork, schedules county inspections, and stays on the hook until everything passes.
- Insurance that protects your home — licensed contractors carry coverage, so a mishap on site isn’t your financial problem.
- One contract, one point of accountability — carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and finishes run on a single coordinated schedule instead of you juggling separate trades.
- Work that holds its value — permitted, inspected work protects your home’s resale value and avoids surprises at appraisal or sale.

FAQ
How much does a new deck cost in Northern Virginia?
Typical 2026 Northern Virginia rates: pressure-treated wood $30–45 per sqft, composite $45–75 per sqft. An elevated deck with stairs and railing adds 30–50%. A typical 300 sqft deck lands between $9K and $22.5K. Every deck is quoted individually in writing.
Wood or composite — which should I choose?
Pressure-treated wood costs less up front but needs staining and sealing every few years. Composite costs more but is essentially maintenance-free for decades — and recent Cost-vs-Value data for the DC metro shows composite decks recouping roughly their full cost at resale, making it one of the best-returning projects you can build.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
In most NoVA counties, yes — decks attached to the house or above a certain height require a permit and inspections. We handle the drawings, permit, and inspections as part of the job.
How long does a deck build take?
Most NoVA decks take about 1–2 weeks of on-site work once the permit is issued. Elevated decks and complex railing runs add time; your written quote includes the schedule.
