From our initial meeting to the completion of your project, our number one goal is to exceed your expectations. We install economical projects with great resell value along with large outdoor living staycations. When you choose to work with us, you get a project manager to communicate important information and oversee the installation of your project. Before we can begin construction, there are many tasks that must be completed. We do this efficiently by using project, customer service and communication tools and technologies along with a great staff that all share the same vision of excellence. Below are the steps we take to ensure you are 100% satisfied with your choice.
"From the initial planning to the final inspection, everything went smoothly and the work was done in a timely manner. The work crews were professional, and did a careful job on everything. I was surprised that there was more sealing and protection applied to the underlying structure than I anticipated, more than code requires, and the deck should last a long time."

Established in 1981, we have been providing quality products and services at a reasonable cost to customers for over a quarter of a century. At HAL CO FENCE we have installed quality fences, decks, and screen porches that have added value and beauty to thousands of commercial and residential customers in the Northern Virginia area. Our services include design and installation of all types of fences, decks and custom screen porches along with the specialty features that often accompany outdoor additions. We are a family owned and operated fence and deck contractor company with a hometown attitude. We have a long history of satisfied and happy customers and would like for you to be one as well. Our continued growth has been realized, not only through our customer satisfaction, but also through the addition of better designs and quality products. We are customer driven and have your best intentions in mind. Our crews are courteous and dependable from whom we require excellent workmanship. We offer standard, as well as custom designs and use the finest products available for decks, fences, porches and porticos. From wood to composite, to vinyl, steel or aluminum, we have what you are looking for. Demanding new designs and environmentally compatible materials is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing fences, decks, screened porches and porticos that will appeal and last through the ages.
"I didn't have a great experience with HAL Co. They take FOREVER to return calls/emails. The day they were scheduled to come replace my fence they no-showed and I had to call the office around 4 pm to find out they weren't coming because a job was running late. The rescheduled installation was a day I was in the office. The crew said the outlet in my back yard wasn't working, so they left without calling me or ringing the doorbell to ask about it (the circuit just needed to be reset, which my partner at home could have done). I didn't find out until several hours later when the office called to tell me the crew had left. The fence finally got installed, and a few days later a neighbor found nails in two of his tires. The crew claimed they performed a metal sweep of the area, but now the neighbor is trying to get me to replace his tires. Finally, the gate latch got damaged somehow, possibly in a storm that happened a few days after the fence install, and HAL wanted $130 to replace the latch. I bought a latch kit off Amazon for $30 and did it myself."

"We recently hired Deck Builders, Inc (DBI) to build a new screened porch with a replacement deck and stairs and are very pleased with the results. The owner, Ricardo Anturiano, and the work crew- led by Ronald — were professional, courteous, and hard working. Ricardo was frequently on site and available to answer questions in person, by phone or text. We interviewed 4 different builders in our area before ultimately choosing DBI for several reasons: First, DBI was able to provide the TimberTech composite boards and railings we preferred; second, they offered the most reasonable pricing for our project; and third, we were impressed with their level of expertise and decades of experience. DBI completed our project within budget and the quality of their workmanship is outstanding. If you are looking for an honest, skilled builder, we highly recommend Deck Builders, Inc!"

"We learned about AVEC through friends who have a beautiful screened-in porch, and we later contracted AVEC to build us a new deck and screened-in porch. The whole experience was fantastic, and AVEC was very attentive to our needs and worked closely with us at every step. We now have a deck and porch that exceed our expectations in every way and is so nice that we are already spending much of our time there just enjoying it. With all of the professional touches (skylights, recessed lights, wall-mount stainless steel heaters, tongue-in-groove wood on the house wall and ceiling, Trex decking and wrapped columns, etc.) it really looks much more like an addition to the house rather than a just a standard deck/porch. The deck and porch really transform the whole house. There are four individuals we worked with on a regular basis. Alex was the first person we met and we liked him from the get-go. He is extremely personable and knowledgeable, exactly the kind of person to best manage customer relations. There were never any big issues really but even the little concerns we had Alex always sorted out quickly and professionally. He always had time for us and took care of us. He is just an outstanding person. He was, for us, the face of the company, and we couldn't have been happier working with Alex and getting to know him as a person. Hernan was the on-site manager and got everything going (demolition, footers, and decking footprint) prior to taking some planned vacation. He was excellent. We remember him saying 'you can't see this yet in your minds but I can and it is really going to be a beautiful structure'. He was correct. Then there are Rudy and Melki, the two men who essentially built the entire thing. They were wonderful. Very courteous, very friendly, very helpful, very responsive. Rudy is a genius, and his years of experience working in this field really showed - there was nothing he could not do. Rudy was very good at explaining things. Melki was also incredible— soft-spoken and confident. These men are physically strong and extremely hard-working. There are often multiple ways to do something and Rudy always asked us which way we wanted it done. They never took shortcuts. They always took time before leaving to clean up the job site. If we wanted something a certain way, even if it was not really the standard way that they normally did things, they would accommodate us. For example, the stairs down off the deck are normally built a certain way but we had a faucet that we wanted to be on a landing so they re-engineered things and built some custom stairs that are just perfect. We talked with them every day and came to enjoy interacting with them so much that we actually missed that when the job was over. Thank you AVEC for transforming our house in such a beautiful way. We could not be happier with the outcome."

Your pool signals it needs resurfacing when you observe noticeable plaster flakes, peels, and surface stains on its finish. Identifying rough textures and visible cracks along the pool walls or steps provides clear evidence of severe deterioration. Diligent inspections and a proactive approach ensure that immediate resurfacing preserves the pool’s structural integrity and maintains its striking appearance. Plan on resurfacing every 10 years.
Yes—as long as the base coat is solid, you can add a fresh layer right on top. The surface needs a deep clean, minor crack repairs, and a good acid wash so the new plaster sticks. A seasoned pool professional will handle the preparation and application, providing you with a finish that looks sharp and withstands daily use.
A solid plaster job should hold up for five to 10 years. Maintain optimal water chemistry and adhere to a regular cleaning routine to maximize the lifespan of the surface. Annual inspections from a local pool pro help you catch and repair small issues early and keep the finish looking sharp.
