Elevated & Second-Story Decks
Make the most of your home’s architecture with elevated decks that provide access from upper floors. These decks offer enhanced privacy, better views, and unique entertaining opportunities. We ensure all elevated structures meet stringent safety codes and structural requirements.
Features include reinforced structural support, code-compliant railing systems, and weatherproof under-deck drainage solutions to protect lower-level living spaces.
Ground-Level Decks
Sometimes called “floating decks,” ground-level decks provide an elegant alternative to traditional patios. Built just inches above the ground, these decks offer the beauty and comfort of composite decking with easier installation and lower costs compared to elevated structures. They’re perfect for level yards and can serve as beautiful transitions to landscaped areas.

What is your deck building process?
Our process begins with a home visit to assess the layout of your property and identify any potential challenges in the deck area. This step ensures we design a deck that complements your home and addresses any site-specific considerations. Once the contract is signed, Velero Decks will develop detailed plans tailored to your project and submit them to the county for approval. We’ll handle all interactions with the county to secure the necessary building permits, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Construction will commence only after all permits have been obtained, providing a smooth and efficient start to your project. A detailed understanding of our deck building process can be found in ‘Our Process’.

At Velero Deck Designs, we understand that composite and pure PVC decking have become the preferred materials for modern deck construction due to their numerous advantages.

How long will it take you build my deck?
The timeline for building a deck depends on several factors, including the deck’s size, complexity, and the design features selected. Additional elements, such as county inspections, material availability, and weather conditions, can also significantly impact the construction schedule.
As a general guideline, a deck approximately 300 square feet in size, featuring 14 steps leading to the backyard, typically takes about seven working days to complete under optimal conditions. However, this estimate may vary based on customization options, unforeseen challenges, or inspection schedules. At Velero Deck Designs, we prioritize quality, safety and efficiency, ensuring your project is completed to the highest standards within a reasonable timeframe.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Yes, virtually all deck projects in Northern Virginia require building permits. Requirements vary by county and deck specifications. The good news? We handle all permit applications, submissions, and county interactions on your behalf. We won’t begin construction until all necessary approvals are secured.
