Radford homes sit on all kinds of ground, from river lots near Bisset Park to steep yards up the hill. We offer deck building services in Radford VA for homes across town. We are dedicated to providing our customers with an excellent experience and an outdoor space they will love.
Deck building in Radford starts with your lot, not a stock plan. We look at how close you sit to the New River. We also check your slope and your home’s style. Then we design a deck that fits all three.
Bisset Park sits on Berkley Williams Drive, right on the riverbank. Homes on the low ground nearby sit close to the water, and some fall in the city flood zone. Older in-town homes stand a few blocks up the hill. A deck built for one would not suit the other.
The New River runs past more of Radford than Bisset Park alone. Homes near the Riverway trail and Riverview Park share the same riverbank. If your yard backs up to the water, your deck needs a plan built for high water.
Before we draw your deck, we check the flood map for your lot. It shows whether your yard falls in the city flood zone. That answer shapes every choice that follows.
Next, we plan the parts of your deck that meet the ground:
Flood-zone lots need one more step. Radford requires a zoning permit for any work in a floodplain district. We tell you at the start if your lot needs one.
On September 28, 2024, the New River crested at just over 31 feet in Radford. That was its second-highest mark on record. Floodwater covered parts of Riverview Park and the Riverway that week. We ensure your deck has things like this in mind so it can stand the test of time.
We are readily available to thoroughly inspect an existing deck if you’re unsure whether to repair or replace it. We also provide complimentary deck design services to help you end up with a deck that fits your home, lot, and vision. Schedule a meeting today!
Radford has kept many of its older homes. Glencoe Mansion on First Street was finished by 1876 and still shows the city’s Victorian roots. Across town, the East Radford Historic District covers Norwood, Stockton, and Downey Streets and Grove Avenue. Many homes there were built between 1866 and 1916.
A plain box deck can look out of place on a house like that. We match your rails, posts, and trim to the lines of your home. The goal is a deck that looks like it was always there.
Yards near Wildwood Park call for a different plan. The park’s wooded trails and rock cliffs sit tucked among homes, and some yards nearby slope hard. On ground that steep, your deck may need taller posts or a two-level layout.
Yes, most decks in Radford need a city building permit. If your lot sits in a floodplain district, you also need a zoning permit. We check which ones your project needs before we build.
