How we rank deck builders in Arlington

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the deck builders category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Local conditions

Hiring deck builders in Arlington: what the local data says

  • 16% of the homes in Arlington were built in 2010 or later. Newer neighborhoods are more likely to have HOA rules on deck size, materials and color, so get approval before the build starts.
  • 39% of occupied homes in Arlington are owner-occupied, and 24% of homes are single-family detached houses. Much of the rest is rowhouses, townhouses and apartments, so check shared property lines, HOA or condo rules and any landlord approval before planning outdoor or roof work.
  • The typical last spring frost in Arlington is around March 31 and the first fall frost around November 18, roughly 232 frost-free days. Staining and sealing need dry, above-freezing weather, so finish work is best planned inside that window.

Common questions

Deck Builders in Arlington: quick answers

How are the deck builders in Arlington ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the deck builders category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best deck builder in Arlington?

Use this list to shortlist two or three deck builders, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.

How do I verify a deck builder's license in Virginia?

Licensing in Virginia runs through the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR). Before hiring anyone in Arlington, ask whether they hold a Class A, B, or C contractor license and verify the license number through DPOR's public license lookup. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.

Which deck builders serve Arlington?

This page lists DJ Fence, Loudoun Decks, HD Decks & Exteriors, Main Street Home Improvement, Paragon Home Remodeling Inc, Valer Deck & Patio, Blue Collar Scholars and DC Home Improvement, in ranked order. 5 of the 8 publish a phone number, so you can call those directly; the rest are easiest to reach through their websites.

When is the best time to book deck builders in Arlington?

Going by Arlington's own weather records (typical last spring frost around March 31, first fall frost around November 18), the usual windows are from about March 31 into early summer or early fall, before the first frost around November 18. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

What to look for when hiring a deck builder in Arlington

  • Ask for the DPOR Class A, B or C contractor license. In Virginia, deck builders need it from the Virginia Board for Contractors (DPOR). Verify it at the official Virginia license lookup before signing. Virginia requires a state contractor license for jobs over $1,000 (Class C up to $30,000, Class B up to $150,000, Class A above), and the license number should appear in your contract.
  • Written estimates. Any deck builder who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
  • Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
  • Local references. A deck builder who's done work in Clarendon or Ballston will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
