Definition

A deck is an elevated, outdoor living space that is often attached to the back or side of a home. It provides a versatile and functional area for relaxation, entertainment, and outdoor dining. At Dream Builders of VA, we specialize in designing and constructing decks that not only enhance the aesthetic of your home but also maximize the use of your outdoor space.

Our Detailed Process

At Dream Builders of VA, we take pride in our comprehensive approach to deck construction. Our process is designed to ensure your new outdoor living space not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time.

Design

We start by working closely with you to understand your vision and needs. Our experienced designers will help you explore various deck styles, layouts, and customization options to create a plan that perfectly complements your home and lifestyle. We’ll consider factors like the size and shape of your yard, the orientation of your home, and your desired functionality to develop a tailored design.

Build

Once the design is finalized, our skilled construction team will bring your dream deck to life. We use only the highest-quality materials and adhere to the latest building codes and industry standards to ensure the structural integrity and safety of your new outdoor living space. Our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship are evident in every step of the build process.

Finish

The final step in our process is the finishing touches. We’ll install any additional features, such as railings, stairs, lighting, or built-in seating, to create a cohesive and visually appealing outdoor oasis. Our team will also ensure that your new deck is properly sealed and protected, ready to withstand the elements and provide years of enjoyment.

Materials & Customization

At Dream Builders of VA, we understand that every homeowner has unique preferences and needs when it comes to their outdoor living space. That’s why we offer a wide range of materials and customization options to help you create the perfect deck.

Composite vs. Wood

One of the first decisions you’ll make is the type of decking material. We offer both composite and traditional wood options, each with their own advantages:

• ✓ Composite Decking: Composite decking is a durable, low-maintenance alternative to wood. It’s made from a blend of recycled plastic and wood fibers, making it resistant to weathering, fading, and rotting. Composite decks require minimal upkeep and can last for decades with proper care.
• ✓ Wood Decking: Wooden decks offer a classic, natural look and feel. We work with a variety of high-quality lumber, including pressure-treated pine, cedar, and redwood, each with its own unique grain and color. Wood decks require more regular maintenance, but they can be refinished and repaired over time.

Customization Options

Beyond the decking material, we offer a wide range of customization options to help you create a truly unique outdoor living space:

• ✓ Railing Styles: Choose from a variety of railing materials, including wood, metal, glass, or a combination, to complement your deck’s aesthetic.
• ✓ Deck Lighting: Integrate low-voltage lighting, such as LED path lights or recessed deck lights, to extend the use of your outdoor space and create a warm, inviting ambiance.
• ✓ Built-In Features: Incorporate custom features like benches, planters, or storage areas to maximize the functionality of your deck.
• ✓ Stairs and Access: Decide on the placement and design of your deck stairs, as well as any additional access points, such as gates or walkways.
