What exterior construction projects does Your Vision Roofing build?

Your Vision Roofing builds custom decks, screened porches, pergolas, patios, and privacy fencing across Northern Virginia and Maryland. Because we're already a roofing and siding contractor, these projects bundle naturally with the rest of the exterior — one contract, one crew, and one warranty instead of juggling separate trades.

Material choice drives both cost and upkeep. For low-maintenance decks we specify capped composite (TimberTech, Trex) with aluminum or cable railing — it shrugs off the Mid-Atlantic's humidity and freeze-thaw without warping. Pressure-treated pine is the budget route but needs refinishing every 2–3 years, and Ipe or mahogany are available for premium builds. We walk through the trade-offs on site rather than defaulting to one product.

Permits and engineering are handled in-house and built to Loudoun County code — footings, ledgers, and guardrails all get inspected. A typical 200–400 sq ft deck is framed and decked in about 5–10 working days after the permit issues; paver patios run 3–7 days. Most projects begin with a free on-site design consultation, with CAD layouts and material specs provided for decks and pergolas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exterior projects do you build beyond decks and patios?

We build custom decks, patios and hardscaping, pergolas and gazebos, privacy fencing, fire pits and outdoor fire features, and tie-in exterior carpentry. Most projects bundle naturally with roofing, siding, and gutter work, so scopes can be combined under one contract and one warranty.

Do I need a permit for a deck or fence in Northern Virginia or Maryland?

Decks typically require a building permit throughout Northern Virginia (Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William, Arlington, Fauquier, Clarke) and Maryland (Frederick, Montgomery) — footings, ledgers, and guardrails are inspected. Fences over 6 feet, any deck more than 30 inches off grade, and most pergolas attached to the home also need permits. We pull permits and schedule inspections for every jurisdiction as part of the project.

What decking materials do you recommend for Northern Virginia?

For low maintenance we specify capped composite (TimberTech, Trex) with aluminum or cable railing — it handles humidity and freeze-thaw without warping. Pressure-treated pine remains the budget option but needs refinishing every 2–3 years. Ipe and mahogany are options for premium builds.

How long does a typical deck or hardscape project take?

A 200–400 sq ft deck is typically framed and decked in 5–10 working days after permit issuance. Paver patios run 3–7 days. Full outdoor living projects with multiple elements (deck + patio + pergola) are usually scoped at 3–6 weeks, weather permitting.

Do you provide design services, or do I need my own plans?

Most projects start with a free on-site design consultation. For decks and pergolas we provide CAD layouts and material specs. For larger hardscape or multi-element builds we work with homeowner-supplied plans or provide a design-build service — the design fee credits back against the project contract.
