Decks · Oakton
Why Oakton homeowners hire us.
An Oakton deck counts as a county addition. Route 123, Hunter Mill Road, and Jermantown Road are Oakton landmarks; verify the parcel and any town approval before filing. The mailing address does not establish whether separate town approval applies; verify the parcel before filing the Fairfax County building record. We measure the parcel before we order 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, and that includes decks. A deck is filed as Additional Square Footage, and the application goes through PLUS. 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. We do not treat the Route 123 name as the town line. The price for the deck is a free written estimate after a site walk.
