Decks
Custom Deck Building in Northern Virginia
A custom deck means the layout, framing, decking material, railings, and stairs are planned and priced together — not as a string of separate decisions made mid-project. Deck Defenders scopes the whole project up front so you know what's included before work starts.

Before you start
- Many Northern Virginia neighborhoods have HOA or architectural-review rules for exterior changes. Check yours before choosing colors or materials.
- Permit requirements depend on the project scope and the local jurisdiction. The written scope should say who handles them.
- Exterior work depends on weather, so schedules can shift with conditions.
Custom Deck Building questions
How much does a deck project cost?▸
Typical Northern Virginia reference ranges: Basic $8,000–$18,000; Mid-Range $18,000–$35,000; High-End $35,000–$70,000+. Your price depends on scope, materials and site conditions. See the Deck Defenders cost guide for what each level includes, or request an estimate for a number specific to your project.
Who actually does the work?▸
Deck Defenders is a division of Kenney Construction — the same licensed, insured, and bonded company (VA DPOR #2705187519) handles the work, not a subcontracted third party.
What areas do you serve?▸
Herndon, Reston, Great Falls, McLean, Vienna, Ashburn, Sterling, Aldie, Oakton, Chantilly, Centreville, and South Riding, Virginia.
What are your hours?▸
Monday – Saturday, 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM.
Do you provide written estimates?▸
Yes — every project gets a written scope so you know what's included before work starts.
How do I know if my deck needs to be repaired or fully rebuilt?▸
It depends on the condition of the structure underneath, not just the surface. We start with a structural inspection — if the framing is sound, board replacement and resurfacing may be enough. If the structure itself is failing, a rebuild is the safer call.
Should I choose wood or composite decking?▸
Wood costs less upfront but needs more regular maintenance — staining and sealing. Composite costs more upfront but requires little maintenance and holds its color longer. Which makes sense depends on your budget and how much upkeep you want to do.
Can you add a screened-in porch to an existing deck or patio?▸
Yes — a screened enclosure can often be added to your home's existing outdoor space, coordinating framing and roofing with what's already there.
How do I request a deck estimate?▸
