A new deck gives your family more space outside while adding additional value to your home. We build custom wood decks from scratch. We can assist with building ground-level, raised, and multi-level designs sturdy enough to handle whatever Virginia weather throws at them.
We handle the entire deck building process from Pulaski County permitting, digging and pouring the footings, and then we build the whole structure ourselves. As a Class A General Contractor, we are fully licensed to build a deck that will stand the test of time. Call today for a free estimate!

Most homeowners in Pulaski don't think about permits until something goes wrong. Virginia Building codes are completely applicable in Pulaski County so you have to ensure that your deck design meets all of these standards before you start construction. Common reasons that permits are required would include if your deck attaches to the home, stretches more than 12 feet in any direction, or if it is higher than 30 inches off the ground. County inspectors will check the depth of the footers, proper connection to the house, and code compliant railing height. Each of those checkpoints is there to keep your deck standing safely for years. Skipping the permit process creates a paper trail problem. When Pulaski County assessors or a future title search turns up unpermitted work, it can delay closing, affect your home's appraised value, or require costly corrections before a sale can go through. We file the permit with Pulaski County for you and stay on top of every inspection date. You don't have to learn the code language or track down the right forms. We manage the process from submission to final inspection.
In Pulaski and the New River Valley, footings must go at least 24 inches into the ground to get below the frost line. That's the depth where the soil stays stable year-round. We check the exact requirement for your specific site before we start digging. The type of soil on your property matters just as much as depth. Clay-heavy ground, like what you find in areas such as Randolph Park in Pulaski, holds water and shifts more during freeze-thaw cycles. We size the footing diameter to match both the soil conditions and the weight your deck will carry. We pour concrete into tube forms sized for your build. A county inspector checks every footing before we set a single post. That inspection is what protects you if questions ever come up later.
Chase Draper started Draper Flooring & Renovation after more than a decade of hands-on construction work in this area. This isn't a company that sends out a salesperson and then hands your job to a crew you've never met. When you hire us, you get Chase and the same small team from the first day to the last. That matters more than most people realize. A small, consistent crew means no one is learning your project halfway through. Every decision about your deck, from footing placement to board spacing, is made by people who have been on the job since day one. Our Pulaski customers consistently leave us 5-star reviews, and most of them mention the same things: we were easy to reach, we kept them updated, and we left the property clean every evening.
