About Just Right Exteriors Co.

Just Right Exteriors Co. was built on a simple belief: exterior systems should be installed the right way, with careful planning, clear communication, and workmanship that holds up long after the job is finished. That philosophy guides everything we do—from deck construction and repair to roofing, siding, gutters, and fencing—because every exterior component plays a role in protecting your home.

Based in Virginia Beach, we provide professional gutter installation, replacement, and repair services throughout Hampton Roads, Suffolk, Coastal Virginia, and nearby Coastal North Carolina. Living and working in this coastal region gives us firsthand experience with the challenges local homes face, including heavy rainfall, wind-driven storms, saturated soil, and rapid weather changes. In this environment, properly designed gutter systems are not optional—they are essential for protecting roofs, siding, foundations, and landscaping from long-term water damage.

Deck projects are often more complex than they appear. Proper footings, framing, drainage, and material selection all matter—especially when a deck connects to roofing systems, siding, or gutter drainage. That’s why we take the time to evaluate your home’s layout, elevation, usage needs, and surrounding exterior systems before recommending a design or material. We explain your options clearly and honestly, without pressure, so you can make confident decisions that fit both your lifestyle and your long-term investment.

Whether you’re planning a custom deck, replacing an aging structure, upgrading railings or stairs, or repairing storm-related damage, we focus on durable, low-maintenance solutions built for coastal conditions. Our experience across all exterior services allows us to build decks that integrate properly with your home—not just visually, but structurally and functionally as well.

When the project is complete, you can feel confident knowing your deck was built properly, safely, and with the same level of care we bring to every exterior project we take on.

When it comes to protecting your home from water damage, close enough is not good enough. It has to be just right.

Common Questions

Deck Building FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about deck construction in Hampton Roads, VA

Deck costs vary based on size, material, and design complexity. For Hampton Roads homes:

  • Pressure-treated wood deck (12x16): $5,000-$8,000
  • Composite deck (12x16): $8,000-$14,000
  • PVC deck (12x16): $12,000-$18,000
  • Multi-level or complex designs: Add 25-50%

Price includes materials, labor, permits, and cleanup. Every deck is unique—call us at 757-720-7526 for your custom estimate.

For Hampton Roads' coastal climate, we recommend:

  • Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech): Best overall. No maintenance, resists moisture, salt, and mold. 25-50 year lifespan.
  • PVC decking (Azek): Ultimate durability for waterfront homes. 100% waterproof, 50+ year lifespan.
  • Pressure-treated wood: Budget-friendly but requires annual staining/sealing. 15-25 years with maintenance.

Avoid: Untreated wood, cedar (rots quickly in coastal humidity), and low-grade composites (fade and warp).

Most residential decks take 5-10 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity:

  • Simple single-level deck (12x16): 3-5 days
  • Medium deck with stairs (16x20): 5-7 days
  • Large or multi-level deck: 7-14 days

Add 1-2 weeks for permits and material delivery. Weather can also affect timelines. We'll give you a clear schedule before we start.

Yes, almost always. Most cities in Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk) require building permits for decks over 30 inches high or attached to the house.

We handle all permits for you:

  • Submit plans and engineering drawings
  • Schedule inspections (footing, framing, final)
  • Ensure compliance with local building codes
  • Work with your HOA if required

Permit fees typically run $150-$400 depending on your city and deck size—included in our estimate.

Premium composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Azek) lasts 25-50 years in coastal Virginia with virtually zero maintenance.

What affects lifespan:

  • Material quality: Premium composites outlast budget brands by 15-20 years
  • Installation: Proper framing, spacing, and drainage are critical
  • Location: Shaded decks last longer than full-sun decks
  • Maintenance: Occasional cleaning extends life even further

Most manufacturers offer 25-50 year warranties on materials.

Yes. We build decks on sloped, uneven, and challenging terrain all the time. Solutions include:

  • Elevated decks: Taller posts and deeper footings for stability
  • Multi-level designs: Split-level decks that follow natural grade
  • Reinforced framing: Extra beams and joists for uneven support
  • Retaining walls: Level the area before deck construction if needed

Uneven ground often requires more engineering but results in stunning, functional deck designs.

Pressure-treated wood decks require annual maintenance to protect against moisture, UV damage, and mold in coastal climates:

  • Year 1: Let wood dry 6-12 months, then apply stain/sealant
  • Every year: Clean with deck cleaner and re-stain/seal
  • Ongoing: Check for loose boards, nails, and rot; repair as needed

Annual cost: $300-$800 for cleaning and staining (or DIY for $100-$200 in materials). Skip maintenance? Wood decks can rot, splinter, and fail in 5-10 years.

Want zero maintenance? Upgrade to composite or PVC decking.

Every deck we build comes with:

  • 10-Year Workmanship Warranty on our labor and installation
  • Manufacturer's Material Warranty:
    • Pressure-treated wood: 15-25 years (varies by brand)
    • Composite (Trex/TimberTech): 25-50 years on materials, 25 years on fade/stain
    • PVC (Azek): 50 years on materials, lifetime on fade/stain

If something goes wrong due to our work, we fix it—no questions asked. Your deck is our reputation.

"Our 15-year-old wood deck was rotting and unsafe. Just Right replaced it with a beautiful multi-level composite deck with built-in lighting and a pergola. The design perfectly matched our home, and the crew was professional, clean, and respectful. We now have an outdoor space we actually use. Highly recommend!"
