Our Process
We make your design-build experience seamless and stress-free with a clear, step-by-step approach:
Get a Free ConsultationInitial Consultation and Planning
Every great outdoor living space starts with a conversation. As trusted deck builders in Northern Virginia, we’ll schedule a free on-site consultation where our lead designer, David Tingle, walks through your space, listens to your goals, and helps shape your vision for a custom deck or patio.
Design and Proposal
Within about a week of your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed digital quote and design sketch. Our transparent estimates make it easy to review costs, request revisions, and fine-tune details. We can even provide 3D renderings so you can clearly picture the finished space.
Approval and Preparation
Once you’re comfortable with the design and pricing, we’ll provide a final scope of work that outlines materials, timelines, and construction details. From there, we take care of permits and HOA requirements to make the process as smooth as possible.
Construction and Completion
This is where your dream space takes shape. Using premium materials and expert carpentry, we’ll bring your custom deck or patio to life. You’ll receive regular updates throughout the build, and inspections will be done when needed to ensure everything meets safety codes. The result is a stunning outdoor space built to last for years of enjoyment.
