Every deck project starts somewhere — sometimes a bare backyard, sometimes a rotting 20-year-old structure that's become a safety hazard. Below are real transformations from our builds across Northern Virginia. Each project includes the materials used, total cost, timeline, and what made it unique.

Deck Resurfacing — Wood to Trex Composite
Sterling, VA · Loudoun County · December 2024
Material
Trex Enhance Naturals — Toasted Sand
Size
320 sqft
Timeline
8 days
Total Cost
$19,000
This 12-year-old pressure-treated wood deck had extensive splintering, gray discoloration, and soft spots near the ledger board. The homeowner wanted a zero-maintenance upgrade without the cost of a full tear-down. We inspected the subframe, replaced 4 compromised joists, applied butyl joist tape, and resurfaced with Trex Enhance Naturals boards and new aluminum railings.
Saved ~$8,000 vs full rebuild by reusing the existing subframe.
New Composite Deck — Bare Yard to Outdoor Living Room
Ashburn, VA · Loudoun County · October 2024
Material
Trex Transcend — Havana Gold
Size
400 sqft
Timeline
2.5 weeks
Total Cost
$32,000
New construction on a Brambleton home with a walkout basement. The homeowner wanted a large entertaining deck accessible from the kitchen. We engineered helical piers on the slope, built a single-level 400 sqft deck with picture-frame border, Trex Signature composite railings, and integrated LED post cap lighting. HOA approved in one submission.
Brambleton HOA architectural review passed on first attempt with our CAD plans.
Custom Multi-Level Deck Build
Reston, VA · Fairfax County · February 2025
Material
Trex Transcend Lineage — Biscayne
Size
480 sqft (two levels)
Timeline
3 weeks
Total Cost
$44,000
The original 180 sqft wood deck was undersized for this family of five. We demolished the old structure and built a two-level composite deck: upper dining level off the kitchen and a lower fire pit lounge stepping down toward the yard. Wide cascading stairs connect both levels with integrated riser lighting.
Went from 180 sqft to 480 sqft — nearly 3x the usable outdoor space.
Balcony Reconstruction — Rotted Framing to Composite
Chantilly, VA · Fairfax County · November 2024
Material
TimberTech Pro — Dark Roast
Size
160 sqft
Timeline
10 days
Total Cost
$22,000
This second-story balcony had severe structural rot in the ledger board and 3 supporting joists — a safety hazard the homeowner discovered during a routine inspection. We performed a full tear-down, installed new flashing and a code-compliant ledger connection, rebuilt the subframe with pressure-treated lumber, and surfaced with TimberTech Pro composite boards.
Structural rot discovered during our $350 inspection likely prevented a collapse.
Complete Deck Replacement — PT Wood to AZEK
Manassas, VA · Prince William County · November 2024
Material
TimberTech AZEK Vintage — English Walnut
Size
350 sqft
Timeline
2 weeks
Total Cost
$38,000
A 20-year-old pressure-treated deck that had been stained 8+ times but was beyond saving — multiple boards were soft, the stairs were wobbly, and the railing posts had separated from the frame. Full demolition, new concrete footings, rebuilt subframe, and premium AZEK polymer decking with cable railing for an unobstructed backyard view.
AZEK's full PVC construction — zero wood content — means this deck will outlast the house.
New Deck Build with Pergola
Manassas, VA · Prince William County · November 2024
Material
Trex Transcend — Spiced Rum + Cedar Pergola
Size
420 sqft deck + 12x14 pergola
Timeline
3 weeks
Total Cost
$48,000
New construction combining a 420 sqft Trex Transcend deck with an attached 12x14 rough-sawn cedar pergola. The homeowner wanted distinct zones: a covered dining area under the pergola and an open sunning area beyond. Included low-voltage string light posts, built-in planter boxes, and wide stairs to grade.
Bundling the pergola with the deck saved ~$4,000 vs building them separately.
Screened Porch Conversion
Centreville, VA · Fairfax County · January 2025
Material
Trex Transcend floor + EZE-Breeze windows
Size
280 sqft
Timeline
4 weeks
Total Cost
$52,000
The homeowners had a 3-year-old composite deck that they loved but couldn't use after 6pm in summer due to mosquitoes. We added a structural roof tied into the home's existing roofline, EZE-Breeze sliding vinyl windows, tongue-and-groove pine ceiling with recessed lighting, two ceiling fans, and multiple GFCI outlets. The result is a 3-season room usable from March through November.
Extended usable outdoor season from 5 months to 9 months.
Pool Deck Replacement
Great Falls, VA · Fairfax County · March 2025
Material
TimberTech AZEK Harvest — Slate Gray
Size
500 sqft
Timeline
3 weeks
Total Cost
$58,000
The existing wood pool deck was warped, splintering, and a splinter hazard for barefoot kids. We replaced it with AZEK polymer decking — specifically chosen because its full PVC construction resists pool chemical splash, chlorine damage, and moisture penetration that destroys wood and even some composite boards. Glass panel railings maintain the sight line to the pool.
AZEK's PVC core resists chlorine splash — critical for pool-adjacent installations.
