Charlottesville Deck Builder Reviews
“DAK Construction demolished my old deck and re-built it with unmatched workmanship and detail-oriented carpentry. I am beyond thrilled with the new deck and would highly recommend DAK Construction to anyone in Charlottesville looking to build a new deck or to replace an aging existing deck.”
— Rich F. — 2025 Google Review
“DAK Construction replaced our open deck in Charlottesville recently, and I am so impressed that I just have to tell you about it. It looks BEAUTIFUL! Dennis Kidd, the owner, provided us with two estimates based on our interests and budget. Bryan Harrington, our project manager, was fantastic — fast to respond and proposed good ideas within our budget.”

FAQs — Decks in Charlottesville, VA
How much does it cost to build a deck in Charlottesville, VA?
Deck pricing depends on size, materials, elevation, railings, lighting, and add-ons. Composite decks have a higher upfront cost but lower maintenance and longer lifespan. We provide a clear, written estimate before you commit.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Charlottesville?
Yes. The City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County both require building permits for new decks. We pull the permit and handle inspection scheduling for you.
Do you build Trex decks in Charlottesville?
Yes. We're a TrexPro Platinum Partner and install the full Trex line — Lineage, Transcend, Enhance, and Select — as well as TimberTech and other premium composites.
Do you replace old decks in Charlottesville?
Yes. We handle full deck tear-outs and rebuilds, including framing, boards, stairs, and railings. We'll inspect your existing structure and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Can you build a covered porch or screened porch?
Yes. Covered porches, screened porches, and sunrooms are some of the best outdoor upgrades for Virginia homes. We design and build all three.
