Outdoor Living · Oakton

Why Oakton homeowners hire us.

Outdoor living in Oakton means a screened porch or a sunroom, and the Vienna line is a parcel question, not a Route 123 question. Route 123, Hunter Mill Road, and Jermantown Road are Oakton landmarks; verify the parcel and any town approval before filing. We confirm the parcel before we size the roof.

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 counts sunrooms and screen porches as a new addition that needs a permit. In PLUS, screened porches and sunrooms are filed as Additional Square Footage. A detached gazebo is on the detached-structures list. 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, the town approval is uploaded to the county PLUS record. The Oakton mailing name does not make that filing. The price is a free written estimate after a site walk.

For this area, see Permits in Fairfax County: what to expect.
