Any decking you want
Composite, PVC or pressure-treated wood in the brand and color you pick. We install it.
Stairs and landings

Questions
Deck building questions, answered.
Do you build decks in Northern Virginia?
Yes. We build decks across Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Fauquier counties, Alexandria and Falls Church.
How is a new deck priced?
The work is one fixed price. Decking, framing, hardware and railings are billed at actual cost plus a disclosed 20% procurement fee, with every supplier invoice in your project portal. See our pricing page for details.
Composite or wood?
Your call. Composite and PVC need less upkeep; pressure-treated wood costs less up front. You can choose any brand or material and we install it.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Most decks in Northern Virginia need a county permit and inspections. We handle the drawings, permit and inspections.
Can you add a screened porch or roof later?
Yes. If you might add one later, we can size the footings and framing now so the deck can carry it.
Can you replace an old deck?
Yes. We remove the old deck, check the ledger and footings, and build the new one to current code.

Deck builders in Falls Church, Fairfax and Vienna
The finished decks on this page are LumenHomes projects, each labeled with the town where we built it: composite decks in the City of Falls Church and Fairfax, a pressure-treated deck in Vienna, and a deck paired with a screened porch in Fairfax. We also build decks in Centreville, Fairfax Station, McLean, Herndon and Ashburn, and across Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Fauquier Counties and the City of Alexandria.
Many projects start as a deck and grow into an outdoor room. If a roof is in your plans, we size the footings and framing for it now, so a screened porch can go on later without rebuilding the structure. Schedule a consultation to walk your yard and talk through layout, stairs and materials.
Deck questions by town
Do you build decks in the City of Falls Church?
Yes. We have finished composite deck work in Falls Church. The City of Falls Church runs its own permits and inspections, separate from Fairfax County, and we handle the drawings, permit filing and inspections there the same way we do in the county.
Who issues deck permits in Fairfax, Vienna and Centreville?
Fairfax County issues building permits for most of Fairfax, Centreville and Vienna addresses, and inspects footings, framing and the finished deck. Some Town of Vienna addresses also need town zoning review. We confirm which offices apply to your address before design is final.
Can my new deck carry a screened porch later?
Yes, if we plan for it. We size the footings, beams and ledger for the roof load up front so the porch can be added later. See our screened porches page for finished porch work in Centreville and Fairfax.
