Custom Deck and Outdoor Living Services for Alexandria Properties
Custom Decks for Compact City Lots
We can design a custom deck specifically for your property. On a narrow Old Town or Del Ray lot, a well-planned deck layout makes the most of the space you have without expanding your home’s footprint, which matters when lot coverage is limited.
Trex Composite Decking
Prince William Home Improvement helps Alexandria homeowners choose Trex composite decking that fits both their home and the overall project design. We offer Trex Signature, Trex Transcend, Trex Transcend Lineage, Trex Enhance, and Trex Select, giving homeowners a range of colors and styles to consider during the design process. Explore composite decks or learn more about Trex decking.
Deck Railing and Lighting Material Options
Deck railing plays an important role in the appearance and function of a custom deck in Alexandria. Trex Signature, Trex Transcend, and Trex Select railing give homeowners a range of finishes to match either a historic streetscape or a more modern West End home, and low-voltage Trex deck lighting can be added for stairs and walkways.
Screen Rooms for Narrow City Lots
Del Ray and Old Town put homes close enough together that privacy, not just bugs, is often the reason a homeowner wants a screen room instead of an open deck. A screen room can create a more comfortable enclosed outdoor space, with pet-resistant screening available based on the project.
Paver Patios and Drainage
Alexandria’s freeze-thaw winters and, on some lots, limited natural drainage make a properly graded base worth getting right the first time for your Cambridge paver patio. Cambridge pavers hold up to that cycle without the cracking poured concrete can develop, and they can be reset if the ground shifts, which matters more on a compact urban lot than a large suburban one. Our patio contractors can design a Cambridge paver patio for you.
Pergolas, Lighting, and Other Add-Ons
Once your main deck design is set, a pergola or a lattice can round out the space, and low-voltage Trex lighting can be added for stairs. A screen room can include optional lighting or a ceiling fan within the same scope. On a Cambridge paver patio, a pergola or fire pit can be incorporated as an add-on to the design, whether that means providing shade over a smaller Old Town gathering area or creating a larger entertaining space farther from the historic core.
