Decks · Falls Church
Why Falls Church homeowners hire us.
A Falls Church deck is framed from the ledger and the footing locations we find on site.
For a deck on a parcel inside the City of Falls Church, use the city permit counter. Simple residential review, including a deck or a kitchen or basement remodel, is estimated at two weeks. If this deck sits on a Fairfax County parcel, take the county building questions to Land Development Services. We leave the deck wiring to an electrician. We confirm this deck on the house itself before framing starts.
The Falls Church deck price comes from a free written estimate after a site walk.

Questions about decks in Falls Church
What drawings does a Falls Church deck need?+
Deck drawings need joist and beam sizes, footing and post layout, ledger connections, and how the guard posts attach. The deck location goes on a survey plat drawn to scale.

The city does not accept the design guide in place of plans. Some townhouses need a site-plan amendment through the planning department before the building permit for a deck can be approved.
