Decks · Dunn Loring
Why Dunn Loring homeowners hire us.
A Dunn Loring deck is a county addition record. The Dunn Loring station is at Gallows Road and I-66, just outside the Capital Beltway. Check the specific parcel and setbacks before designing the addition/deck/porch. We measure the parcel before we draw the frame.
For Fairfax County building-permit questions, contact Land Development Services at 703-222-0801. If the parcel is within Clifton or Vienna, the county also requires the applicable town approval to be uploaded to the PLUS record. The office is at 12055 Government Center Pkwy, Suite 324. Fairfax County requires a permit for a new addition to an existing home, and that includes decks. A deck is filed as Additional Square Footage, and the application goes in PLUS under the Building tab. If the project includes electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work, separate trade permits may be required. Real Elite does not take electrical work.
If the parcel is inside the Town of Vienna, Fairfax County says the town approval is uploaded to the PLUS record. The mailing name does not make that choice. The price for the deck is a free written estimate after a site walk.
