1. The Conversation Starts at Your Kitchen Table (Or Maybe Over Coffee)
Before any tools come out or drawings hit paper, the journey to build a deck begins with a simple conversation. We start where every great home project should: by getting to know you and understanding your vision in depth. Build a Deck
Understanding your “why”: We want to know why you want to build a deck in the first place. Is it for hosting lively summer cookouts with neighbors and friends? A quiet spot to sip your morning coffee and read the paper? A safe outdoor play area for your kids or a place for your dog to lounge in the sun? By understanding how you plan to use your new deck, we can tailor the design and features to match your lifestyle.
Listening to your vision: You talk, we listen. This initial consultation (often around your kitchen table or over a cup of coffee) is all about you sharing your ideas and dreams. Feel free to bring up any inspiration you have, photos from the internet, sketches, or simply ideas you’ve been imagining. As you describe what you have in mind, we’re already brainstorming ways to make it happen. Every detail you mention, from wanting built-in bench seating to needing space for a hot tub, helps us picture the deck that you want. When you build a deck with MGS, it’s designed around your vision, not a one-size-fits-all template. Build a Deck
Educating you on what’s possible: We’ve built many decks across Loudoun and Fairfax counties, so we bring a lot of experience to this conversation. Once we understand your goals, we’ll share insights and suggestions to enhance your ideas. Maybe you didn’t know that adding a partial privacy screen could block those late afternoon winds, or that a particular composite material would save you time on maintenance. Perhaps you’re unsure about whether you can add a fire pit or if you need a permit for a certain deck height. This is where our expertise comes in. We’ll discuss what’s feasible given your budget, your yard’s layout, and local regulations. The goal is that by the end of this chat, you feel informed and excited about the path forward. Build a Deck
At this stage, we’re also happy to answer all your questions, no matter how basic or detailed. Wondering about how long it takes to build a deck, or what kind of disruptions to expect during construction? Ask away. Clear, honest communication is the foundation of our relationship with our clients. Build a Deck
“We don’t just build decks, we craft extensions of your home that make life better.”, Chris Chapman, Owner of MGS Contracting Services Build a Deck
Our conversation is really the foundation for everything that follows. By the time we pack up our notes and finish that cup of coffee, we want you to feel confident that we understand your dream and have the know-how to make it happen. This personal connection and understanding of your “why” set the tone for a successful project. When you’re ready to build a deck with us, we’re already as invested in it as you are. For us, understanding you from the outset is key to ensuring that when we build a deck, it’s the perfect addition to your home. Build a Deck
2. We Check the Red Tape, So You Don’t Have To Build a Deck
Once we know what you’re looking for, MGS Contracting Services takes on the behind-the-scenes legwork that comes before any construction. One big reason homeowners choose us to build a deck is so they don’t have to worry about paperwork, permits, or technical hurdles. We handle all of that for you, making sure everything is in order before a single post goes in the ground. Build a Deck
Permits and building codes: In Virginia (and specifically here in Northern Virginia), building codes and permit requirements for decks are strict, and for good reason. They exist to ensure that when you build a deck, it’s safe and up to the standards that protect your family and property. Our team is very familiar with the local county permit processes, whether you’re in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, or any of the surrounding areas. We’ll prepare any needed architectural drawings or plans and submit the building permit application on your behalf. This includes detailing the deck’s dimensions, structure, and materials to meet the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Because we do this routinely, we know exactly what the county reviewers are looking for (like the right spacing of railings or the correct depth of footings). You won’t have to lift a finger or fill out a single form. We also schedule the required inspections at various stages of the build. By handling permits properly from the start, we prevent delays and ensure your new deck will pass final inspection with flying colors.
HOA approvals: If you live in a community with a Homeowners Association, you might be worried about HOA rules and approvals. Many HOA-governed neighborhoods have specific guidelines about adding or modifying structures like decks, they might regulate the deck’s placement, size, or even the color of the materials. Don’t worry: we help with this too. We’ll review your HOA’s requirements with you and provide any plans or descriptions needed for their approval process. Since we’ve likely built a deck in communities similar to yours, we have a good sense of what HOAs typically look for. Our goal is to streamline this so that getting the green light from your HOA is quick and easy. We make sure the deck design we propose not only makes you happy but also checks the boxes for the community standards, avoiding any conflict down the road.
Site evaluation: Another crucial preparatory step is evaluating the build site itself. Before we start to build a deck in your yard, we thoroughly assess the area. We examine the grading and slope of your yard to plan for proper water drainage (nobody wants water pooling under their deck or flooding the patio). We take note of existing structures or landscaping, for instance, if there’s an AC unit, a basement egress window, or large trees near where the deck will go, we factor those in. We’ll locate utility lines (we always call Miss Utility before digging, to mark gas, water, or electrical lines) so we know where it’s safe to put footings. We also consider sun exposure: if your back yard gets intense afternoon sun, we might suggest integrating shade solutions or orienting the deck in a way that’s more comfortable. All these details ensure that when we build a deck on your property, it fits like a glove with your home and terrain, and there are no surprises (like hitting a hidden rock or cable) when we break ground.
Did you know? In Virginia, deck footings need to extend below the frost line, typically 24 to 30 inches deep, depending on the county. This is required so that when the ground freezes and thaws, your deck’s foundation isn’t heaved up or shifted. Miss this step, and you risk your structure moving or becoming unstable over time. Rest assured, we calculate and dig footing holes to the proper depth (and even a bit beyond when needed) to ensure your deck’s foundation is rock-solid.
By handling the “red tape” early, permits, HOA, site planning, we set the stage for a smooth construction phase. You won’t have to worry about whether it’s okay to build a deck in your yard or if the paperwork is done right; we’ve got it all covered. This means you can focus on the fun part: the excitement of seeing your deck take shape, knowing that all the boring (but critical) stuff is taken care of by professionals. Taking care of these steps early means that by the time we actually start to build a deck on your property, everything is in place for a smooth project.
3. Design Time, Where Function Meets Form
Now for one of the most exciting parts of the journey: designing your deck. This is where your vision starts to take a tangible form. We take everything we learned from our initial conversation and the site evaluation, and we start crafting a plan. When you build a deck with MGS, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter structure, you’re getting a custom design that balances beauty, function, and durability.
Custom drawings and renderings: Our design team will produce detailed drawings of your proposed deck. Depending on the project, we may even create 3D renderings so you can literally see what your future deck will look like attached to your home. This is the stage where decisions about shape, size, and layout are solidified. Want a wraparound design that gives you multiple areas (say, one for grilling and one for lounging)? Or maybe a simple 12’ x 16’ platform that maximizes usable space with clean lines? We’ll map it out. The drawings will indicate where the stairs will go, how the deck connects to your house, and any built-in features you requested. Seeing a visual plan helps ensure that what we’re about to build is exactly what you have in mind. We’ll walk you through the design to get your feedback, maybe you want the stairs rotated to a different side, or you decide you’d like that bench we discussed to be a tad longer. We fine-tune the plans until you’re completely happy.
Material selection: A big part of how your deck looks and how much maintenance it will need comes down to materials. During design, we guide you through choosing the right materials for your needs and budget. You might opt for the classic warmth and natural beauty of pressure-treated wood or cedar. Alternatively, you might choose low-maintenance composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) that comes in a variety of colors and won’t splinter or need re-staining. When we help you build a deck, we explain the pros and cons of each material: wood can be more affordable and has a timeless appeal but requires periodic sealing or staining; composite can be a bigger investment up front but is extremely durable and easy to care for. We’ll also discuss railing options (from wooden pickets to modern cable railings or durable aluminum balusters) and even options for the decking pattern (do you prefer a traditional horizontal plank layout, or something like a diagonal or herringbone pattern for visual interest?). All these choices are about striking the right balance between form and function, and we make sure you feel empowered to choose, with our recommendations to guide you.
Finalizing the scope and plan: Once the design and materials are chosen, we’ll finalize the project scope. This means we compile everything into a clear proposal or contract. It will outline exactly what we’re going to build, the timeline for the project, and the cost breakdown. We believe in transparency, so there are no surprises. If you’ve decided to include extras like integrated lighting, built-in planters, or a pergola, those will be noted too. We’ll go over this plan with you item by item. This is where we make sure all your expectations are aligned with what we’ll deliver. If you have any last-minute changes or requests, we address them now. By the end of this design phase, you’ll have in your hands (or inbox) a complete deck plan that shows how we’ll build a deck that’s uniquely yours, along with a schedule and price that you’ve agreed upon. You’ll know what to expect at each step of the build and when we anticipate finishing.
We don’t do cookie-cutter decks. Every single deck we design is tailor-made for your home, your needs, and your aesthetic preferences. The design phase is really where the custom nature of our work shines. Our philosophy is that a deck should look like a natural extension of your home, as if it was always meant to be there. So if you’ve ever seen those generic pre-fab decks and worried yours might look like that, rest assured: that’s not how we operate. We take pride in thoughtful design because when we build a deck, we want it to feel like your favorite room of the house, just outdoors.
In short, the design is where your dream becomes a detailed plan, and that plan guides how we build a deck that matches your vision in every way.
4. Breaking Ground, The Real Work Begins
With permits in hand and a solid design in place, it’s finally time to get the boots on the ground and start building. This is the part where your backyard starts to transform day by day. For our team, every project is a mission, and we’re ready to build a deck that not only meets the plans on paper but exceeds your expectations in real life.
Site prep: On the first day of actual construction, we focus on preparation. You’d be surprised how important the prep is when you build a deck, a well-prepared site makes the whole construction process smoother and prevents issues later. We begin by clearing the area where the deck will go. That might mean removing any sod, rocks, or old pavers, and safely relocating any plants that you want to save. We make sure the site is clean and level. We’ll mark out the deck’s footprint with string lines or spray paint according to the design. This gives a clear visual of where we will build the deck in your yard. If there was an existing structure (like an old deck or patio) that needs demolition, we handle that now as well. We also take steps to protect the rest of your property: for example, we might lay down boards or tarps on the lawn to minimize damage from foot traffic or wheelbarrows, and we set up a designated area for materials and tools. We respect that we’re working at your home, so we keep things as orderly as possible from Day One.
Foundation and footings: Every strong structure starts with a strong foundation. When you build a deck that’s going to last for decades, you can’t cut corners here. We begin by digging the footing holes at the locations specified in the plans (usually at the corners of the deck and at intervals along the perimeter, as well as anywhere a support post is needed in the middle span). As mentioned earlier, these holes are deep enough to get below the frost line. We typically dig down 24–30 inches or more, then bell out the bottom of the hole a bit for extra support (kind of like the shape of a wine glass or bell, which helps resist uplift). Next, we pour concrete to create solid footings. Sometimes we set heavy-duty cardboard forms (called Sonotubes) in the holes to mold the concrete and keep it neat. The concrete is mixed to the right consistency and poured, and we may insert a metal anchor or bracket in it that will later hold the support posts. We let the concrete cure properly because it will literally hold up everything else we build. Once the concrete footings are set, we install vertical support posts (usually 6×6 pressure-treated lumber for a typical deck) on those anchors. If the design is for a ground-level deck, the posts might be shorter; if it’s an elevated deck or second-story deck, these posts can be quite tall. In every case, we ensure they are absolutely plumb (perfectly vertical) and secure. This sturdy foundation is what ensures the deck remains stable and safe, no matter how many people are at your next BBQ or how heavy that new hot tub is.
Framing and beams: With the footings and posts in place, we move on to the framing, essentially the skeleton of the deck. If your deck attaches to your house, we start by installing the ledger board. This is a critical piece that gets bolted to your home’s exterior wall framing and supports one side of the deck. We flash it with waterproof material so no water sneaks behind and causes rot to your home (a detail some DIYers or less experienced builders can miss, but we never overlook because when we build a deck, we build it right). Next come the beams and joists. The beams are the heavy horizontal boards that span from post to post, carrying the deck’s load. Depending on the span, we might use double 2x10s or 2x12s for beams, we often over-engineer just to give extra strength. The joists are like the ribs, running across the whole area of the deck, typically spaced 16” on center (or sometimes 12” for composite decking to prevent any flex). We attach the joists to the ledger and beams using metal joist hangers and structural screws, not just nails, because we want a connection that won’t weaken. As we frame, we continually check that everything is level and square. A deck that’s framed correctly is sturdy and makes the later steps (like laying decking boards) go smoothly. We also frame out any special features at this stage, such as the supports for stairs, openings for features (e.g. an access gate or a planter), or blocking between joists where railings will be mounted. By the end of framing, the outline of your deck is visible and you can really see the size and shape come to life. This is the literal framework upon which we’ll soon build a deck surface you can enjoy.
This is where our Marine-grade precision kicks in. Chris Chapman’s background in the military shows through in our attention to detail, cleanliness, and discipline on every jobsite. When we build a deck, our team operates with a mix of craftsmanship and efficiency. We keep a tidy work area (we even use a magnetic tool to pick up stray nails or screws each day) and we work with as little disruption to your daily life as possible. You’ll notice our crew’s professionalism in everything from the way we line up every board accurately, to how we communicate with you about progress. Building a deck isn’t just about manual labor, it’s about executing a plan with precision and care. And for us, that’s non-negotiable.
5. Bringing the Deck to Life, Board by Board
With the sturdy frame in place, now we get to the part everyone loves, actually seeing the deck take shape in real wood (or composite) as we start laying down the surface and all the details. This is the stage of the project where each day’s progress is very visible. It’s also where the deck’s personality comes out through the choice of materials and finishing touches. We often say this is when we “bring the deck to life” because what was once just a blueprint or a frame of lumber transforms into a real, usable space. Our team is meticulous during this phase; after all, this is what you’ll see and touch every day when you step outside. We don’t just build a deck to code, we build it to be beautiful and enjoyable.
Decking installation: Now it’s time to lay down the deck boards, the surface you’ll walk on and see. Whether we’re working with quality pressure-treated wood boards or high-end composite planks, our focus is on a flawless installation. We install the decking boards usually starting at the house and working our way outwards. Each board is measured and cut precisely to fit. If your design includes any unique inlays or patterns (for example, a picture-frame border around the edges of the deck or boards set at a diagonal for style), we tackle those with care to ensure symmetry and a clean finish. We use spacers to ensure consistent gaps between boards, which is important for drainage and wood expansion. When we build a deck, we pay attention to those small details like lining up the board ends and making sure seams (where two boards meet on a joist) are staggered for both strength and appearance. For wooden decks, we typically use high-quality deck screws, driving them in carefully so they’re flush (no snagging feet on a proud screw head!). For composite decks, often a hidden fastening system is used, clips that attach to the joists, so you won’t see any screws at all on the surface, giving it a sleek look. Throughout this process, we’re not just slapping down boards; we’re ensuring that the surface is smooth, safe, and built to last. As we install, we periodically step back and take a look (and yes, we walk on it ourselves) to ensure it feels solid and looks great. By the end of this sub-phase, your deck floor is in place, and you can really imagine yourself using it. This is a major milestone when you set out to build a deck, because now it truly resembles a deck!
Railings and extras: Once the deck flooring is down, the next critical pieces are the railings and any built-in features essential for functionality. Railings are not only required by code (for any deck above a certain height, usually 30 inches in Virginia) but also an opportunity to add style. We install the railing system you selected during the design phase. If you chose a classic wood railing, we’ll have pre-cut the wooden balusters (the vertical pickets) and we’ll attach them to sturdy rail posts that were integrated into the framing. If you opted for something like aluminum or wrought iron balusters, we attach those according to the manufacturer’s specs, ensuring they’re all evenly spaced and secure. Modern options like cable railings or glass panels are also something we can do, these offer a more open view and a contemporary vibe. No matter what style, our team makes sure every post and baluster is rock solid (we give them a good tug test because when you build a deck, safety comes first). Along with railings, this is when we add stairs if your deck needs them (most do, unless it’s ground-level). We frame out and deck the steps with the same attention to detail as the main deck, making sure the rise and run of each step are even and comfortable. We also tend to little finishing touches, like installing trim pieces or fascia boards to cover the sides of the framing for a polished look. If your project includes built-in seating, a planter box, or a partition for privacy, we construct those elements at this stage too, integrating them seamlessly. By now, the deck has all its fundamental parts in place; it’s not just a platform, but a fully functional structure with railings and entries and whatever extras you envisioned.
Upgrades and accents: Here’s where we implement those bonus features that truly make your deck unique and enjoyable. Many homeowners adding a new deck have a wish list of “extras” that turn a standard deck into a personalized outdoor living space. Because we plan for these in the design, our team incorporates them smoothly into the build. This could include installing low-voltage lighting such as LED post-cap lights on the railings or recessed lights on the stair risers so you can safely use the deck at night and create a great ambiance. If you wanted a pergola overhead for shade, we’ll build that now too, adding the vertical posts and overhead beams, tied securely into the deck’s structure. Maybe you opted for a lattice skirting around the bottom of the deck to keep pests out and give it a finished look; we measure and attach that, including a door if you wanted a little storage access under the deck. Speaking of storage, if under-deck space allows, we can create dry storage or even a dry patio area using under-deck drainage systems (so rainwater doesn’t drip through). We also handle any custom requests like a built-in cooler, a gate at the top of the stairs (useful for keeping kids or pets corralled), or mounting hardware for a future porch swing. These upgrades and accents are what truly tailor the deck to how you want to use it. We love this part of the project because it’s where a project goes from just “build a deck” to build a deck your way. Seeing your eyes light up when the pergola goes up or when the lights first turn on is incredibly rewarding for us as craftsmen.
Want LED post lights or a pergola for shade? You got it. Your deck should feel finished, not just functional. When we build a deck at MGS, we include those extra touches that elevate it from a simple structure to your favorite hangout spot. We never lose sight of the fact that the little details, a smooth sanded handrail, a nicely mitered trim corner, a cleverly placed light, make a huge difference in how a deck feels. This is the stage where all those details come together.
By the end of this phase, the vision you had when you decided to build a deck has fully come to life in your backyard.
6. Final Walkthrough, and Our Promise
The last day of construction has arrived, but our work isn’t quite finished until we tie up every loose end. At this point, you can see your completed deck in all its glory. However, finishing a project properly is just as important as starting it properly. When we build a deck, we don’t just pack up our tools and disappear as soon as the last board is in place. We take pride in our craftsmanship and we stand by our work, so we go the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect and that you are thrilled with the result. The final walkthrough and wrap-up phase is about quality control, cleanliness, and making sure you’re equipped to enjoy your deck for years to come.
Detailed cleanup: Construction can be messy, but we believe a good contractor leaves a job site cleaner than they found it. After all, what good is it to build a deck if the new space and your yard are cluttered with debris? So the first order of business at the end is a thorough cleanup. We remove all leftover materials, like that stack of cut-offs or extra lumber. We pick up every last nail, screw, and scrap (that magnetic sweeper gets another workout across the yard to catch any hidden metal bits). We’ll dispose of waste properly, leaving nothing behind but your beautiful new deck. If building the deck caused any incidental damage to your grass or landscaping (we try to avoid it, but heavy foot traffic or materials can sometimes scuff things), we’ll do our best to make it right, whether that’s raking flat a disturbed area or replacing a turf patch. We even hose down or sweep the deck surface so it’s nice and clean for your first use. By the time we’re done, your property will look like we were never even there, except, of course, for the brand-new deck we left behind.
Quality inspection: Next, we perform a detailed quality check. This is an important step because we’re not just looking to finish the job; we’re aiming for top-notch results. Our project lead (often Chris himself, given his personal commitment to every project) will go over the entire structure, checking that everything was built exactly as it should be. We double-check that all bolts, screws, and connections are tight and secure. If something doesn’t meet our standards, we address it, period. We walk every inch of the deck, quite literally feeling for any imperfections, is there a screw that didn’t sink flush, a spot that needs a bit more sanding, or a board that isn’t perfectly seated? Now is the time we catch and fix it. We also verify that everything is level, sturdy, and ready to handle the fun times ahead. Additionally, if the county requires a final inspection to officially close out the permit (which is usually the case when you build a deck legally), we make sure an inspector comes out and signs off on the work. We’ve never had issues passing inspections because we’ve followed code to the letter from the get-go. Still, it’s satisfying to get that official thumbs-up. This quality inspection is about ensuring that when we hand it over to you, the deck is truly finished in every sense of the word.
Education: A deck is a significant addition to your home, and like anything worthwhile, it will need a bit of care over the years. We don’t just build a deck and vanish; we take time to educate you on how to maintain and get the most out of it. After the construction dust settles, we’ll walk you through the basic maintenance your deck might need. For a wooden deck, we’ll talk about sealing or staining (for example, many experts suggest waiting a few weeks or months for pressure-treated wood to dry out before applying a sealant, we’ll advise you on the timing). We’ll show you how to clean the deck properly, simple tips like using a gentle soap for routine cleaning or how to safely remove any mildew. If your deck has composite boards, we’ll explain how they’re low-maintenance but still benefit from occasional washing to keep them looking great. We’ll point out any features like lighting: how to operate or adjust the deck lights, and whether there are any transformers or timers to be aware of. Essentially, we give you a “user manual” for your new outdoor space. Our goal is that even if you’ve never had a deck before, you’ll feel confident in taking care of the one we built for you. And of course, we always remind our clients that if questions arise later, you can call us, we’re here to help even after we finish building.
Warranty and follow-up: We’re not done with our commitment to you just because the project construction is complete. MGS Contracting Services stands behind our work with a solid warranty on our craftsmanship. We’ll provide you with all the warranty details in writing, so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long. (For instance, if down the road a board we installed were to loosen or something minor comes up, we’ll typically come out and fix it as part of our promise, that’s the kind of peace of mind you should expect when you have professionals build a deck for you.) We also take care to register any product warranties, like if you have composite materials that come with a manufacturer’s warranty, so that you’re covered there too. Beyond formal warranties, we genuinely care that you’re happy not just on day one, but for the long haul. That means we might check in with you after some time to ensure everything is still great. We love seeing decks we built a year or two later, hearing that they became the favorite spot of the house. And if there’s ever anything you’re concerned about, we’ll make it right. Our reputation is built on quality and trust, and we intend to keep it that way.
“We treat your home like it’s our own. That doesn’t stop when the sawdust settles.” This isn’t just a saying for us, it’s truly how we approach every project. When you let us build a deck for you, you become part of the MGS family. That means even after we finish and pack up our gear, we’re still just a phone call away. We’re proud of the work we do, and we want you to be just as proud every time you see and use your deck.
This level of dedication is what you can expect when you trust us to build a deck for you and your family.
7. Enjoy the Space That Brings People Together
You’ve invested in more than just lumber and nails by choosing to build a deck, you’ve invested in a lifestyle upgrade, a new gathering place, and a new way to enjoy your home. The final result isn’t just an addition to your house, it’s a space where life will happen. Now comes the best part: enjoying it. The project is complete, the inspections are done, and your deck is officially open for making memories.

Watch your kids run barefoot across it.
Or just sit out there in peace, knowing it was built right.
When we build a deck for you, we’re acutely aware that we’re creating the backdrop for some of your best times, from quiet moments of solitude to loud celebrations. Your new outdoor space is an extension of your home, and of your personality. Dress it up with comfy furniture, add that grill or chiminea, decorate it with string lights or seasonal décor. It’s a blank canvas for you now. And because it was built by MGS Contracting Services, you know it’s a canvas built on quality. So go ahead and enjoy it to the fullest, without worry. Rain or shine, weekday or weekend, this deck is ready to be enjoyed at any moment.
Every time you step onto that deck, you’ll know the job was done right. You’ll feel the sturdiness in every step and see the craftsmanship in every detail. That peace of mind, knowing that your deck was built correctly and built for you, makes relaxation even sweeter. At the end of the day, this is why we do what we do. We don’t just build a deck and move on to the next job; we build outdoor spaces that enrich your life. Seeing you enjoy the deck, hearing that it’s become your family’s favorite hangout, or that you’re volunteering to host the next neighborhood cookout because you’re proud of your deck, that’s the biggest compliment to us.
