Working in Vienna
Summit Home Improvements is based in Vienna, so jobs in town are close to home for us. Most calls here are about a cracked or sunken driveway, front steps that have pulled away from the house, or a patio for a backyard that never had one. Joseph Cash gives every estimate himself and checks on the job while our own crew does the work.
Vienna streets mix original mid-century houses with newer homes built on the same lots, and both end up needing hardscape work. We plan layout, drainage, and Town approvals before we price anything, so there are no surprises once the old surface comes out. Every job carries our 5-year workmanship warranty, and paver installs add a 15-year no-settlement warranty.
Building in Vienna: what to know
Town permit plus county building code
Vienna is an incorporated town inside Fairfax County. The Town's Planning and Zoning department requires a zoning permit for patios and for new or modified driveways, while Fairfax County serves as the building official for structural and code review. When a county permit is also needed, that application goes in first. We confirm with the Town which approvals your project needs before we quote.
Windover Heights Historic District
Northwest Vienna includes the Windover Heights Historic District. There, new construction and major exterior changes visible from the street go before the Windover Heights Board of Review, which issues a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Town's interactive zoning map shows whether a lot falls inside the district. If yours does, we choose materials with that review in mind.
Utility marking comes first
Driveway, patio, and wall work all involve digging, and Virginia law requires a request to Virginia 811 at least three working days before excavation so utilities can mark their lines. As the contractor, we place that request. Private lines the utilities do not mark, such as landscape lighting, irrigation, or a buried downspout pipe, are worth pointing out to us at the estimate.

Vienna: common questions
Do I need a permit for a new patio in Vienna?
Yes. The Town of Vienna says all patios require review and approval by its Department of Planning and Zoning. Some projects also need Fairfax County review. We find out which approvals apply and help with the drawings before any work starts.

Yes. Summit Home Improvements is a family-owned company based in Vienna and in business since 2009. Owner Joseph Cash comes out for every estimate and checks on the job, and our own crew, not subcontractors, does the work.
My house is in Windover Heights. Can I still replace my walk or driveway?
Usually, yes. Exterior changes visible from the street may need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Windover Heights Board of Review first. We check with the Town about what applies and suggest materials that suit the house before we quote.
