Chantilly is home for JK General Contractor. Our shop is on Gum Spring Road, so most Chantilly projects are a short drive for our crews and trucks.
Two Counties, Two Permit Offices
Chantilly sits on the line between Fairfax and Loudoun counties. Most addresses in ZIP code 20151 are in Fairfax County, while much of 20152, including South Riding, is in Loudoun County. Each county has its own permit process, and we work with both.
That line matters more than most homeowners expect. Two houses a mile apart, both with a Chantilly address, can go to different permit offices with different forms and review times. We check the county for your street before we draw anything, so the plans are made for the office that will review them.
Common Projects for Chantilly Homes
Most Chantilly subdivisions went up between the late 1980s and the 2000s, so their original decks and patios are wearing out now. Common projects here include:
- Replacement decks in composite, on new footings and framing
- Screened porches and three-season rooms added off the back of the house
- Paver patios and fire pits under and beside decks
- Porticos and new front walks
Why hire a builder based in Chantilly?
Because being nearby changes how the job runs. Our crews start their day at your house instead of on the road, the trucks and equipment come from a few miles away, and the concrete for footings comes from our sister company in Sterling, just up the road. And if anything needs attention after the job, it is a quick trip back.
HOA Review
Most Chantilly and South Riding neighborhoods have an HOA with an architectural review step. We prepare the plans and material information the board needs and build once the approval is in hand.
What should I ask before replacing an old deck in Chantilly?
Ask what is under it. On a deck from the 1990s, the question is rarely the boards; it is whether the footings are deep enough, whether the ledger is still sound and flashed, and whether the framing can carry what you want to add, such as a roof. We look at all three at the estimate. If the structure is worn, we price a full replacement. If part of it can carry a screened room, we tell you that too.
What does a Chantilly estimate look like?
A visit to the house. After you call or send the form, we phone you back the same or next business day to pick a time. We walk the yard or the front of the house with you, measure, look at the grade and the old structure, and talk through materials with samples in hand. Then you get a firm written price for the scope we agreed on, with the county and HOA steps listed, so you know what happens next and in what order.
