How We Install
Our Deck Installation Process
Click each step to see what happens at every phase of your deck installation.
Site Preparation & Footings
We excavate, set footing locations per the engineered plan, and install helical piers or concrete footings below the 18-inch-inch frost line required in Richmond City County. Proper footings prevent settling and heaving in Richmond’s clay soils.

Trex Composite Installation
We install the full Trex lineup: Transcend, Enhance, and Select. As Trex Pro Platinum installers, we follow factory installation specs including proper gapping for Richmond’s temperature swings, hidden fastener systems, and ventilation requirements. Your Trex warranty is only valid when installed by a certified Pro.
TimberTech by AZEK Installation
We install TimberTech AZEK PVC, TimberTech PRO composite, and TimberTech EDGE composite. As TimberTech Platinum certified, we are trained in AZEK’s specific fastening requirements, expansion joint spacing, and the unique installation methods required for PVC boards in Virginia’s climate.
Pressure Treated Wood Installation
For budget-conscious Richmond homeowners, we install premium #1 grade southern yellow pine with hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners. Proper installation of wood decking requires correct board spacing for expansion, pre-drilling to prevent splitting, and immediate sealing after installation.

Certified Installation
Why Certified Deck Installation Matters in Richmond
Anyone can screw boards to a frame. Certified deck installation is fundamentally different. When Stoneridge installs your deck, every fastener, every gap measurement, every joist connection follows the manufacturer’s exact specifications. This is not just about quality, it directly affects your warranty.
Trex and TimberTech both require certified installation for full warranty coverage. If your deck is installed by a non-certified contractor and a board warps, fades, or fails, the manufacturer can deny your warranty claim. Our Trex Pro Platinum and TimberTech Platinum certifications are your insurance that the warranty you are paying for actually protects you.
In Richmond specifically, certified installation means understanding how Richmond City County’s clay soils affect footing depth, how the Greater Richmond’s temperature extremes (teens in winter, 90s in summer) affect board gapping, and how local building codes differ between the City of Richmond and Richmond City County jurisdictions.
Structural Engineering
Engineered Deck Framing for Richmond Properties
The structure beneath your deck boards is more important than the boards themselves. Every deck we install in Richmond starts with an engineered framing plan that accounts for your specific property conditions. We calculate beam spans, joist spacing, post sizes, and footing loads based on your deck’s dimensions, elevation, and intended use.
For elevated decks (common in Richmond neighborhoods with walkout basements and sloped lots), we install lateral bracing to prevent racking. For decks attached to the house, we use code-compliant ledger board connections with proper flashing and lag bolts. Every connection point uses structural-rated hardware from Simpson Strong-Tie.
Richmond City County’s 18-inch-inch frost line depth requirement means our footings go deeper than many areas of Virginia. We use helical piers, Diamond Piers, or poured concrete footings depending on your soil conditions. For Richmond’s clay-heavy soils, we often recommend helical piers because they can be driven to the exact depth needed for stable bearing.
Timeline & Investment
Deck Installation Timeline and Cost in Richmond
Most deck installations in Richmond take 1 to 3 weeks from footing installation to final walkthrough. The timeline depends on deck size, elevation, complexity, and whether you are adding features like a covered section, integrated lighting, or a screen room.
A typical installation timeline looks like this: Day 1 to 2 for footings and posts. Day 3 to 5 for beams, joists, and framing. Day 6 to 8 for decking boards and hidden fasteners. Day 9 to 10 for railing, stairs, and trim. Day 11 for final inspection, cleanup, and walkthrough. Larger or more complex projects extend this timeline proportionally.
We offer financing through Buildertrend and Upgrade with low monthly payments and no-interest promotional periods. Most Richmond homeowners finance their deck installation, spreading the investment over time while enjoying their new deck immediately.
