"I contracted with Quality Improvements to build a large deck. The build site is on rough sloping terrain. Mr Mariano Siles oversaw the project and in fact did most of the work. He was very personable and patient in explaining to me the challenges and his proposed solutions. His exceptional attention to detail resulted in a beautiful 400sf deck built to code and absolutely level. I would enthusiastically recommend Quality Improvements to anyone."

"MC Fence & Deck did an amazing job on our new vinyl fence! We wanted something low maintenance but stylish, and they delivered exactly what we asked for. John was super helpful from the start, walking us through our options and giving honest recommendations. The crew worked fast and left the yard clean when they finished. We highly recommend them if you need a fence. Great service and fair pricing!"

"The provider was knowledgeable on how to pressure wash a deck constructed with pressure treated wood that had no previous stain applied and what stain products to use for most durable results.  The provider was punctual and noted all the landscaping and house walls that needed to be protected from the spray-applied stain.  The provider knew he was restricted in which lo-voc stains he could use in our region, but did not understand that these restrictions were likely dictated by regulations to protect Chesapeake watershed. 
We were not at home at the time of the work - 1 day of cleaning, several days to dry, and 1 day of stain application.  We returned home each time to find the wood cleaning and stain application went well and the landscaping and house was protected as promised.  At the end of the stain application, the upward facing surfaces of the deck were evenly coated and looked great.  The undersides of the staircase and other posts which are visible from underneath had inconsistent application - some were covered in stain completely, some partially, some not at all - which was likely due to spray application. The deck lighting and driveway were not protected as well and had stain on the plastic surfaces (in the case of the lights) and in various places on the asphalt.  We cleaned the drips on the lights, but the stain could not be lifted from the asphalt.  The stain on the asphalt has not contributed to any long term issues with the driveway surface in the last 1.5 years.
Overall, this company did what we needed to have done at a fair price. The quote was right in the middle of the three we requested and we are likely to use this provider for a deck care needs in the future.  With a little more attention to detail, finish and full protection to the entire ground area, and this company would rate all As.

"Our experience went well, Mike was on time and his team remodeled our bathroom in a little over a week. We were able to reuse the claw foot tub that was in our home when we bought it and now it's in a bathroom design that looks great"

"Very pleasant experience. I was referred to them by a neighbor who had a fireplace and patio done by them. They were all friendly and worked very hard. They kept the area clean everyday. Throughout the job the project manager made sure I was happy with each phase of job and was lenient about changes. Very customer service oriented company. Would recommend them and will continue to add to my beautiful patio."

"Alex, Svetlana, and their crew understood the vision I had for my bathroom and they made it a reality in a quick timeframe without sacrificing quality.

Alex stopped by frequently to check in on progress and was quick to reply to any questions or scheduling changes (needed on my end) which was very appreciated.

FAQs for water dock building service projects in Fairfax, VA

With the right design and maintenance, a vinyl sea wall capped with concrete can serve you for 50 to 70 years, while poured-concrete walls last 50 to 60 years. Steel or aluminum options last 30 to 40 years, and treated wood holds up for 10 to 25 years. Plan on regular inspections and prompt repairs to keep any sea wall performing at its best for decades.

A bulkhead holds back soil in calm, inland waters, while a sea wall is built for pounding coastal waves. The sea wall’s job is to absorb and deflect wave energy, offering stronger erosion control. A bulkhead mainly keeps soil in place but isn’t designed to stand up to heavy surf.

A sea wall needs a deep footing—four to 10 feet or more—so it can resist shifting soils and constant wave pressure. The exact depth depends on your soil conditions, water depth, chosen material, and local building codes. Your marine contractor may dig even deeper to secure the wall in place and meet the structural specifications.

Plan on a quick visual check every season. Look for cracks, loose panels, or washed-out soil, clear weep holes so water can drain, and trim plants that push against the wall. Catching small issues early helps maintain the structure's soundness and prevents major repair bills later. Your sea wall builder can make recommendations for an ongoing maintenance plan that will help keep your sea wall in optimal condition.

Most residential sea walls are completed in an average of one to three weeks, covering preparation work, sheet piling, and cleanup. Larger commercial walls require additional engineering and can extend well beyond that window. Your crew drives steel or vinyl sheets into the soil, then finishes caps, tie-backs, and grading before final inspection.

The “best” wall is the one engineered for your site, but concrete often tops the list for pure strength and longevity. It anchors soil, blocks water, and handles repeated wave hits better than wood or light-gauge steel. Collaborate with a marine contractor to determine the ideal material for your shoreline and budget.
