Decks · Alexandria
Why Alexandria homeowners hire us.
An Alexandria deck follows the parcel, not the mailing name: the independent city and Fairfax County do not share one building counter.
Alexandria citywide owner-occupied median value is $735,100 in the American Community Survey 2024 five-year estimates, and the owner share is 42.1 percent. Those city figures do not tell you which office holds the parcel. City decks go through the Permit Center in APEX. County decks go through Fairfax County Land Development Services.
Door height and grade are measured before the platform and stair are drawn. An Alexandria deck is priced with a free written estimate after a site walk of the house and its parcel.
For this area, see Permits in City of Alexandria: what to expect.
City or county
Read the parcel before a deck set is sent. An Alexandria street address in Fairfax County is a Land Development Services application, not an APEX city filing.

Questions about decks in Alexandria
Does an Alexandria mailing address mean the city permits the deck?+
Not always. Some Alexandria postal addresses are in Fairfax County. The city Permit Center, inside Department of Code Administration and filed in APEX, applies only when the parcel is inside the city. Fairfax County Land Development Services applies when the parcel is in the county.
How do the shared Alexandria ZIPs affect a deck filing?+
ZIPs 22302, 22304, 22311, and 22312 are shared with Fairfax County, while 22301, 22305, 22313, and 22314 are entirely in the city. Confirm the parcel either way. A deck light or a new circuit is an electrician job. Real Elite coordinates that licensed trade and does not self-perform electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work.
