What Makes Our Swimming Pools Stand Out in Northern Virginia

Climate-Conscious Construction

Northern Virginia has its quirks—humid summers, unpredictable winters. Our builds take all of that into account, with materials and systems designed for durability and seasonal efficiency.

Fully Customized Layouts

We don’t offer cookie-cutter templates. Instead, we collaborate with you to design a pool that reflects your space, lifestyle, and taste—whether it’s a sleek lap pool or a naturalistic lagoon.

Integrated Features & Upgrades

Want a spillover spa? LED lighting? Maybe a baja shelf or tanning ledge? We integrate modern features that elevate both function and experience without compromising the flow of the design.

Expertise in Local Permitting & Grading

ool installation in Northern Virginia isn’t just about digging and pouring concrete. We handle all code compliance, soil analysis, and drainage planning, so the process is smooth and stress-free.

Unmatched Attention to Detail

From excavation to the final water test, we approach every stage of construction with intention. No shortcuts, no guesswork—just quality craftsmanship that holds up long after the first swim.

Why Choose Valer Deck & Patio?

Local Knowledge, Personalized Service

We’re not just contractors who work in Northern Virginia—we’re part of the community. That means we understand the nuances of building here: from clay-heavy soils in some areas to strict permitting in others. More importantly, we tailor each project to fit the realities of your property and your lifestyle. You’re not just getting a pool—you’re getting a team that knows how to build it right the first time.

Design-First Approach

We believe the best pools are more than just functional—they’re beautiful, intuitive, and seamlessly integrated into your space. Every project starts with a conversation: What do you want your space to feel like? Who will use it most? From there, we craft a layout that blends aesthetics with purpose, ensuring your pool enhances—not overwhelms—your backyard.

Transparent Process

Building a pool shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. That’s why we keep things clear from the outset. We walk you through the design, permitting, excavation, and construction phases so you always know what’s coming next. If weather delays something, you’ll hear it from us. If there’s a choice to be made, you’ll be involved. No vague updates. No fine print. Just a straightforward process that respects your time and trust.

Built for Longevity

Pools are a big investment—and we treat them that way. We use high-performance materials, proven construction methods, and durable finishes designed to handle Northern Virginia’s seasonal swings. From the strength of the concrete shell to the reliability of your filtration system, we make choices that prioritize durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance for years to come.

Real Projects. Real People.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled some of the most common ones to help you get quick answers. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out!

How long does it take to build a swimming pool?

On average, a standard pool project takes 6–10 weeks, depending on design complexity, weather, and permit timing. We’ll walk you through a realistic timeline upfront.

Do I need a permit to install a pool in Northern Virginia?

Yes. Pool construction requires county permits, zoning review, and sometimes HOA approval. Don’t worry—we handle the paperwork and submission process for you.

What types of pools do you offer?

We design and build inground concrete (gunite) pools, which allow for maximum customization in shape, depth, and features. We do not currently install vinyl or fiberglass pools.

Can I include additional features like a spa or waterfall?

Absolutely. We specialize in integrated features—from spas and sun shelves to lighting, automation systems, and natural stone waterfalls.

Dan, Jessica and their team were excellent. The deck remodel was professional every step of the way. We evaluated five different proposals and theirs was the best. Our one concern was lack of a long history with decks, but they addressed that concern and delivered. It was also helpful that they posted photos of ongoing progress for our benefit as we were out of the area. We think it was also beneficial that the firm’s ownership was personally involved every step of the way.

We recently hired Valer Builders to completely transform our outdoor spaces, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They replaced a retaining wall, removed and rebuilt our deck, and added a beautiful concrete patio in the backyard. On top of that, they gave our front porch a major upgrade—replacing the fascia on six columns, lowering the ceiling, and installing new lighting that looks fantastic.

From start to finish, the Valer team was friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Their communication was excellent, and the quality of their work really shows. Best of all, the project stayed on budget with no surprise costs, which gave us peace of mind throughout the process.

There was a delay on the porch remodel due to an issue with the supplier/manufacturer that was outside of Valer’s control. While it pushed the timeline back by months, Dan and his team handled it with professionalism and patience. They kept us updated, were always responsive, and worked diligently to get everything resolved the right way.

We’re thrilled with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Valer Builders to anyone looking for a contractor that delivers great work, honest pricing, and a team you actually enjoy having around your home.

We were first introduced to Dan Stendeback from Valer Builders when researching bids for repairing/replacing our front porch. After our initial meeting, we knew Dan was the best fit for our project as he displayed a high level of knowledge and professionalism. He was extremely quick in communicating with us regarding materials and costs for the job. Dan offered advice and recommendations throughout the initial planning stages, and always took the time to answer all our questions. Once the project began, his team was punctual and worked through some harsh weather conditions. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are first rate. Our stunningly rebuilt porch has transformed our house in countless ways and completely exceeded our expectations. We are already researching our next project and will be reaching out to Dan in the near future. We highly recommend Dan and his team at Valer.

We hired Valer Deck and Patio to install an EZE- Breeze enclosure on our back patio. The team worked tirelessly until the project was completed and we are very pleased to have a nice and relaxing area to hang out, without the bugs. From estimate to final completion, we were very impressed with the level of communication from the President of Valer, Dan. Smooth process, highly recommend the EZE-Breeze product and the install team. Looking forward to having them do our outdoor patio space!!

Dan and the team busted their ass for us and will always go the extra mile for their clients. The construction crew did an amazing job of quickly and carefully leveling off our deck. Would recommend!

Highly recommend Valer Builders. We recently redid our sun room and deck because it was not up to code. The original contractor could not finish the job, and Valer Builders stepped in and finished the project at a reasonable price. We honestly expected a complete redo, but Valer Builders was able to salvage most of the work and saved us a lot of money. Thank you Dan!

Dan and his crew completed a 400 ft.² deck for me. They did an outstanding job on the deck itself, but what really mattered to me was the communication about what iwas going on.The boatload of pictures of the progress was a plus.I would highly suggest Valer deck & patio. They are very professional and great to work with. The customer service from Dan and the crew was great. I have included a picture To show you what a wonderful job that he did. I would definitely recommend him.

During a weekend storm, one of our fence panels came down. Dan was very responsive and was able to get to our house and put the panel back up within 48 hours as well as provide a quote for additional work. I appreciate that he’s also been very transparent in recommending various levels of scope based on our situation as opposed to simply recommending a wholesale replacement. Hoping to use Valer again soon to replace a portion of our fence and make some deck repairs!

I cannot be happier! Valer Builders came out, gave us a quote, showed up when they said they would and did an amazing job building our new deck! I expect to have many treasured family memories in the summers to come. Thanks, Dan!! Great job!

I absolutely love working with Dan. He is a great craftsman with tremendous vision. The projects that he has done belong in a magazine and should be the template on how to demonstrate fine craftsmanship.

If you would like a quality outdoor living space for your home, don't hesitate to give Dan and his team a call.

Dan and his team did an amazing job installing an exterior back door with a small landing and steps down to our back patio. Like most things in life, there were a few bumps in the road; some material delivery delays and then a weather delay, but Dan was very communicative every step of the way, something we really appreciated. They took care of everything from scheduling the survey that needed done in order to get the building permit, to the removal of every bit of debris possible and the quality of their work and the materials they use is top of the line. I would recommend them to anyone and would absolutely use them again!

“We had 3 estimates that fluctuated in cost so it was really hard to determine what we were paying for! Not only to Dan come in and give a very honest assessment of the condition of our deck, he also suggested idea ideas that would help boost the functionality of our outdoor space, and an itemize proposal so we knew what things cost and could make adjustments. The job site was kept clean, the crews were professional and very kind. Any loose ends we had Dan addressed immediately. We cannot express how happy we are with choosing Dan to help us with this project! Highly recommend!”

Valer Builders created a beautiful, custom door for our back bricked-in patio area. We had a design in mind, including a keypad lock, which required a thicker door to accommodate that request.

Dan exceeded our expectations through his communications, including working with us on a durable outdoor keypad/lock. He visited on the last day to review the quality of work his amazing team, Jody and Nick, had completed.

Overall, we are incredibly pleased with the results and would recommend Valer Builders to others.
