Three Core Services, One Standard of Quality
Whether you're starting from the ground up, bringing an aging deck back to life, or adding a screened porch to the space you already have, we build it the same way every time: solid structure, premium materials, and clear communication from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. No subcontractor shuffle, no vague timelines — just reliable execution on outdoor spaces you'll actually use for years.
Custom Deck Building
As custom deck builders, we design and build decks from the ground up to fit your home, your yard, and how you actually plan to use the space — entertaining, grilling, a quiet morning coffee spot, or all three. Every deck starts with a site visit to assess your yard's grade, drainage, and existing structure, followed by a design that accounts for how the sun hits your yard and where you'll want privacy.
We build with pressure-treated lumber framing rated for our local soil and frost conditions, and top it with Trex or TimberTech composite decking — materials that won't rot, splinter, or need yearly staining. Railings, stairs, lighting, and built-in seating are all options we price out up front, so there are no surprises on your invoice.
How long does it take to build a deck? Most custom deck projects in Stafford County take two to four weeks from the start of construction, depending on size, permitting, and weather. We give you a realistic timeline before we break ground, and we stick to it.
Deck Resurfacing
If your deck's frame is still sound but the surface is cracked, splintering, or gray from years of weather, a full rebuild isn't always necessary. Deck resurfacing replaces the aging boards and railings with new composite decking on top of your existing structure — saving money while giving you a deck that looks brand new and needs almost no upkeep going forward.
We start every resurfacing job with a structural inspection. If your joists and posts are still in good shape, we strip the old decking, repair or reinforce the frame as needed, and install Trex or TimberTech composite boards. If the frame has deteriorated, we'll tell you honestly and walk you through your options — we're not going to put new decking over a frame that won't hold up.
What does it cost to resurface a deck? Resurfacing is typically less expensive than a full rebuild since the framing stays in place, but pricing depends on your deck's size, current condition, and the materials you choose. We provide a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins — no vague ballpark numbers.
Screened Porch Construction
Looking for a screened porch builder in Stafford, VA who can turn a buggy backyard into a space you'll use every evening? We design and build screened porches from scratch, and we also build them onto an existing deck — giving you a bug-free, shaded extension of your outdoor living space without a full home addition.
Our screened porches are framed and roofed to hold up to Virginia's humidity, storms, and seasonal swings, with durable screen systems, composite or wood flooring, and options like ceiling fans, lighting, and knee walls. We handle the roofline tie-in to your home correctly the first time, so you don't deal with leaks or sagging down the road.
What does it cost to add a screened porch to an existing deck? Converting part or all of an existing deck into a screened porch is often more affordable than building a new one from the ground up, since the structural deck framing is already in place. Final pricing depends on size, roofline complexity, and finish materials — we'll walk your property and give you a straight number.

Built With Trex & TimberTech Composite Decking
We install both Trex and TimberTech composite decking because each brand offers strong options for different budgets and styles — and because we'd rather fit the material to your project than push one brand on every job. Both resist rot, fading, warping, and insect damage far better than traditional wood, which means less sanding, staining, and replacing boards every few years.
Low-Maintenance by Design
Composite decking never needs staining or sealing — an occasional wash with soap and water keeps it looking new.
Built to Hold Up
Resistant to rot, mold, splintering, and fading, even through Virginia's humid summers and freezing winters.
Style Options
A wide range of colors and finishes from Trex and TimberTech so your deck matches your home's style, not the other way around.
