We’re a locally owned and operated company that’s been proudly serving the region since 1981. Over the years, we’ve installed dozens of split rail fences in Aldie, VA, and we’d be happy to add one to your property.
The first thing we’ll do if you decide to work with us is come out and have a look at the property and the size of the area you want enclosed. That will enable us to provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate so you’ll have a firm understanding of what it will take to get the job done. Then, assuming you’re comfortable with our estimate, we’ll get started!
If you already have one on your property, but it’s been a while since it’s seen any maintenance or TLC, and it’s looking a little ragged these days, we can help with that too. In fact, in the vast majority of cases, we can restore the split rail fence on your Aldie, VA property to like-new condition for a fraction of what it would cost to have something new built in its place.
If you do have an older fence though, and you’d rather have it torn out and replace it with something custom, we can do that as well. Understand though, that a custom fencing job is a much bigger and more involved project than a simple repair, or even a fencing replacement job using stock materials.
In that case, the first thing we’ll want to do is sit down with you and capture your vision. If you know you want something custom, but you’re having trouble visualizing the particulars, be sure to spend some time browsing the photos we keep elsewhere on the site. Not only will doing that give you an opportunity to see the quality of the work our craftsmen do, but it’s also sure to give you all sorts of great ideas for your own custom fencing project.
Once we’ve captured your vision, we’ll use the notes we get from you to create a detailed project plan, then give it to you for your review, along with a free estimate, just like we described above when we were talking about adding a split rail fence on your Aldie, VA property. As before, assuming you’re comfortable with everything, we’ll send out one of our experienced build crews and start turning your custom fencing dreams into a reality.
Of course, we do a lot more than just install or repair split rail fences in Aldie, VA, and designing and building custom fencing solutions. Here are some of the other great services we provide:
Decks
Many homes in our area already have decks built onto them, and it’s easy to understand why. After all, the region is blessed with views that are both stunning and spectacular, and there’s no better way to enjoy them with friends and family than with a bit of outdoor entertaining on the family deck.
If your home doesn’t have one yet, but you’ve always wanted to add one, we’ve got you covered. There is no one size fits all solutions when it comes to adding a deck though. Each one is unique, and each is an expression of its owner.
Building a custom deck is a big, involved project, but we’ve simplified and streamlined the process over the years, so the clients we work with don’t feel overwhelmed.
The first thing we’ll want to do, of course, is to sit down with you to find out what you want in a custom deck. There are a lot of different things to consider, including details like:
- How big do you envision your dream deck being?
- What material or materials do you want it made out of?
- How does it connect to your house, and how do you access it from inside your home?
- Is it all on one level, or because of the lay of your land, do you need something that exists on multiple levels that gradually step down into your yard?
- Will you need steps? If so, what should they look like and what are they made of?
- Will you need safety rails? If so, what should those look like and what materials should we use in their construction?
- Do you just want one big, wide-open space, or do you envision a deck that’s broken into several functional areas: One for grilling, another for dining, maybe space for a hot tub and or a wet bar?
- What about the possibility of built-in seating?
- Hidden storage compartments?
Like we said, there are a lot of details to consider but don’t worry, we’ll step through the process of mapping out your dream deck with you, and when we’re done, you’ll have a firm, clear image of the finished product in your mind, and so will we. This step is crucial, because the more details like these we can capture in the beginning stages of the product, the happier you’ll be with what we ultimately build for you.
Once we’ve mapped out your vision completely and turned it into a viable project plan, we’ll hand it over to you for final review, along with an estimate as described above. Once you sign off on it, we’ll get started.Already have a deck? If you do, but it’s been a while since it’s seen any maintenance, we can assess it and make any repairs needed, restoring it to like-new condition for a fraction of what it would cost to have the old deck torn out and something new built in its place.
Once we’ve got it restored to its former glory, our recommendation where decking is concerned is to have it inspected once a year so that further repairs can be made as needed to keep it in top condition. If you have a deck built of pressure-treated lumber, we also recommend annual power washing, staining and sealing, though these steps can be skipped if you have a deck made of some type of composite material.
Porches
In addition to fences and decks, we can also build or restore porches. Our process for building a new custom porch is functionally similar to the one we described above for custom decking, although the questions we ask in the beginning stages of the process will differ. Where porches are concerned, we’ll be asking things like:
- Is this to be a front porch, side porch, or back porch? Or, do you want one that wraps at least partway around your house? If so, how far should it wrap?
- How will you access the porch from the house?
- How will you access the yard from the porch? One central set of steps leading up, or that plus steps to one or both sides?
- What materials would you prefer we use in the construction of the porch?
- If you need steps and/or safety rails, what should they look like and what materials should they be made of?
- Do you want an extra wide porch with plenty of room for a porch swing and other outdoor furnishings?
One other consideration where porches are concerned is this: Do you want it screened in? Screened porches are enormously popular in this area. They’re a great way of enjoying the great outdoors without having to contend with the bugs! In addition to that, a nice screened porch is perfect for outdoor entertaining.
Whatever your needs and desires are where your outdoor spaces are concerned, we’ve got you covered. Since the day we first opened our doors, we’ve built our reputation by exceeding the expectations of every customer we serve, and we’d love the opportunity to exceed yours.
If you’ve had a long list of improvements you’d like to make to the outdoor spaces around your family’s home, make a list and give us a call. Let’s talk about the possibilities and build something amazing together.
