2. Permits in Gainesville
Gainesville is not an incorporated town. It is part of Prince William County, so building permits come from the county. For a deck or porch, the county asks for zoning approval and then a building permit, and a deck with a roof is treated as an addition, not a deck.
A driveway apron on a state-maintained road in Gainesville needs a VDOT Land Use Permit through the VDOT Manassas Residency. We prepare the drawings and file the application as your authorized agent; see our Prince William County apron page.
3. Concrete Porches, Patios and Walkways
Concrete porches. A front porch close to the ground can be built on a structural concrete base on footings and finished in natural stone, brick or pavers, with the roof tied into the house. Every porch we build is engineered and permitted. See covered porches.
Patios. Our standard stone and paver patio is set in mortar on a concrete slab, not on a bed of sand. See paver patios and flagstone patios.
Walkways and driveways. We replace cracked concrete front walks with stone and brick walkways, and rebuild concrete driveways with the apron at the street.
