Why Leesburg homeowners hire us.
Outdoor living in Leesburg, VA starts with the parcel, not the mailing address. Lansdowne and River Creek often use a Leesburg address and sit in unincorporated Loudoun. Inside Town limits the house is a different filing. We check the parcel before we describe a screened porch, a patio roof, or a pergola.
Inside Town limits the order is fixed. The Town of Leesburg issues the zoning permit first. Decks, balconies, and exterior stairs need that Town zoning, and the county will not release the building permit until it is approved. A roof or a screen needs full plans, not the Typical Deck Detail. Outside Town, building and zoning run through LandMARC.
If the parcel is in the H-1 Old and Historic District, every exterior construction project needs a Certificate of Appropriateness. Some are staff-approved. Others go to the Board of Architectural Review. A National Register listing is honorary and is not the Town H-1 overlay. Any HOA review is a separate track from Town zoning and the county building permit.
Gas and electrical for an outdoor kitchen or a fire feature are licensed trades. Real Elite does not take electrical work. Lighting is solar post-cap and step lights. Every Leesburg outdoor living project is a free written estimate after a site walk.
