These guys did an awesome job on our new deck! Highly recommend! They’ve also done other flooring for our church and did a great job there as well. My favorite thing about them is they go the extra mile to make sure the clients are happy with the project. If you want quality work, at a reasonable price, with a company you can trust- this is it.

Chase and crew replaced the flooring in my whole house with LVP. Had a couple places that needed repair which he did flawlessly. He kept in contact and texted any repairs that needed extra work. He moved all furniture and put back in place. Very good job

We could not be happier with our experience working with Draper Flooring. Chase and Derek provided the perfect blend of professionalism and craftsmanship. Not only did they steer us toward a superior flooring product but they installed it quickly and with an attention to detail that is rare to see these days. We highly recommend DFR and hope to work with them again in the future! Dan Peets

They were very professional and efficient, caring about what they were doing. I work from home and they asked/let me know when they were going to use loud tools. I would recommend them to anyone.

Had several things that needed fixing at our cabin in rural Virginia and had been struggling to find someone that would do it. Contacted owner Chase Draper who promptly came out, gave me an estimate and then professionally handled everything we asked him to do. He could not do part of the job, so he contacted me as I was out of town, got another contractor out who could do the work to give me an estimate and reduced the original estimate to match the work done. I recommend Chase highly and will use him again whenever the need arises.

What It Takes to Build a Deck in Draper

Building a deck in Draper starts with a Pulaski County permit and a plan that fits your house. We check how your home is built, draw the deck, and schedule each county inspection.

Homes around the village date from the late 1800s to the 1960s. A deck on an 1890s farmhouse needs a different plan than one on a 1960s ranch. We help you navigate the process from design to final walkthrough which ensures our customers get a finished deck they love.

Older Draper Homes Need a Ledger and Footing Plan Before Framing Starts

Many homes near the 1911 Bank of Draper were built in the Gothic Revival and Queen Anne styles. If you own one, your deck plan starts at the wall where it will attach.

First, we check how your house is framed at that spot. The ledger board fastens to that framing and carries one side of your deck. Pulaski County’s deck details spell out how it goes on:

  • Siding comes off where the ledger meets the house
  • Continuous flashing goes in at the ledger to keep water out of the wall

Footings follow county rules too. Each one sits on solid ground at least 24 inches below grade, or deeper if needed. Any footing within 5 feet of your house must reach the same depth as the house footings.

Draper Deck Projects Range From Bungalow Back Decks to Trailside Seating

Greenbrier Road runs through the village past the Draper Mercantile, built around 1887. Craftsman bungalows and ranch homes sit along this road and the streets nearby. Each style calls for a different kind of deck.

  • Craftsman bungalows often suit a wide back deck with room for a table and chairs.
  • Ranch homes sit close to the ground, so a low step-down deck often fits best.

Some homes near Draper Access sit just off the New River Trail. If yours does, we can build seating into your deck that faces the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a county permit required for a Draper deck?

Yes, most decks in Draper VA need a Pulaski County permit. The county reviews your deck plan before work starts. It also inspects the work as the build moves along.

Can you attach a new deck to an older Draper home?

Yes, we can attach a new deck to an older home. County details call for removing the siding where the ledger board meets the house. Then we add flashing at the ledger to keep water out.

My new footings will sit close to the house. Does that change anything?

Yes, footings within 5 feet of your house wall must go deeper. They have to reach the same depth as your house footings. We plan for that before we dig.
