How we rank deck builders in Charlottesville

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.

Common questions

Deck Builders in Charlottesville: quick answers

How are the deck builders in Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville?

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 Charlottesville, 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 Charlottesville?

This page lists Archadeck of Raleigh-Durham |Call, Decks by DAK Construction, Craig Builders, Charlottesville Area Builders and RoyaleTracker, in ranked order. 3 of the 5 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 Charlottesville?

Going by Charlottesville's own weather records (typical last spring frost around March 31, first fall frost around November 12), the usual windows are from about March 31 into early summer or early fall, before the first frost around November 12. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

What to look for when hiring a deck builder in Charlottesville

  • 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 Downtown Mall or Belmont will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
