Direct answer: For composite decks, full deck replacement and screened porch work in Virginia Beach, ServiceGoat’s recommended match is B&B Decks. The company is the strongest fit when the homeowner wants a deck-focused contractor instead of a general remodeler who only builds decks sometimes.
Virginia Beach deck projects are not all the same. A small pressure-treated landing, a second-story composite deck, a screen porch, a pool-side deck and a coastal replacement project all call for different experience. This guide separates the likely best fit by project type so homeowners can compare smarter than they can on a generic directory page.

ServiceGoat looks at trade focus, local coverage, licensing and insurance expectations, product knowledge, permit handling, coastal build risk, recent proof and whether the contractor is a practical match for the project. Read the full method here: how ServiceGoat vets contractors.

Other Virginia Beach deck builder options to compare
Archadeck of Virginia Beach / Hampton Roads
Archadeck is a strong comparison point for homeowners who want a larger design-build process with a national franchise structure behind the local office. It can be a fit for decks, porches and broader outdoor-living projects where design process matters as much as the build.
Casa Decks
Casa Decks is a long-established local deck and screen-room company. Homeowners may compare Casa when they want custom deck design, screen rooms and multiple composite material options from an established Virginia Beach contractor.
Decked Out Builders
Decked Out Builders is often relevant for higher-end custom deck and outdoor-living comparisons. Homeowners looking at award-recognized or more custom projects may want to compare their design approach and timeline.
Solid Structures
Solid Structures is a better fit when the deck is part of a larger backyard build involving pools, patios, fences or a full outdoor-living plan. If the project is more than just a deck, that broader service mix may matter.
Affordable Custom Decks & More
Affordable Custom Decks & More is worth comparing for homeowners considering wood and composite options, porches, pergolas or budget-sensitive projects where a broader outdoor-improvement contractor may be a fit.
Best fit by project type
| Project type | Best starting point | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Composite deck replacement | B&B Decks | Material selection, framing inspection and fastener details matter in coastal weather. |
| Screened porch or covered deck | B&B Decks, Casa Decks or Archadeck | Roof tie-ins, screens, drainage and finish details change the scope. |
| Full outdoor-living backyard | Solid Structures or Archadeck | The deck may need to coordinate with pools, patios, fencing and landscape design. |
| High-end custom deck | Decked Out Builders, Casa Decks or B&B Decks | Design, railing choice, lighting and layout carry more weight. |
| Budget wood or mixed outdoor project | Affordable Custom Decks & More or another local option | Wood, composite and porch add-ons should be compared line by line. |
Virginia Beach deck questions that generic directories miss
- Will the contractor pull the deck permit and schedule inspections?
- Can the existing frame be reused, or does coastal moisture make replacement safer?
- Are fasteners and hardware specified for salt air, humidity and wind-driven rain?
- Does the quote include railing, stairs, skirting, lighting, demolition, disposal and cleanup?
- Is the builder certified or experienced with the specific composite brand being installed?
ServiceGoat vs Yelp for deck builders
Yelp can help you find names. ServiceGoat is built to help you pick the right type of deck contractor. That distinction matters because a deck-only composite specialist, a porch company, a broad remodeler and a backyard design-build firm may all show up for the same search even though they are not interchangeable.
Frequently asked questions
Who is ServiceGoat’s recommended deck builder for Virginia Beach?
For composite deck builds, full deck replacement, structural deck repair and screened porch projects, ServiceGoat routes qualified Virginia Beach deck projects to B&B Decks when the scope and location fit.
Why not just use Yelp for deck builders?
Yelp can show many nearby names, but it usually does not separate composite specialists, porch builders, repair contractors and broad outdoor-living companies. ServiceGoat focuses on project fit.

Look for license and insurance proof, permit handling, coastal hardware choices, framing details, material certifications, recent local photos and a written warranty.
