What makes Virginia Beach Patios different from other contractors?

Virginia Beach Patios is the original luxury outdoor living design-build firm in Hampton Roads. Our process is built around one principle: you see your finished space in photorealistic 3D before a single stone is placed. We hold authorized dealer relationships with premium manufacturers across motorized aluminum louvered systems, handcrafted wood and vinyl structures, modular outdoor kitchen cabinetry, composite decking, and landscape lighting. Contractors will show you our portfolio and offer a bargain version. What they cannot replicate is ten years of manufacturing partnerships and a design-build process that eliminates surprises.

How much does a custom outdoor living space cost in Virginia Beach?

A standalone paver patio typically starts around $15,000-$25,000. Full outdoor living environments with pools, kitchens, pergolas, and lighting typically range from $75,000 to $250,000 or more. Virginia Beach Patios provides a detailed investment range after a complimentary design consultation.

Do you offer 3D design visualization before construction begins?

Yes. Our design process includes photorealistic rendered images and interactive 3D visualization. This process was built here — it was not adopted from a trend. It locks in design decisions and protects against scope creep before a single stone is placed.

Are you licensed and insured in Virginia?

Yes. Virginia Beach Patios holds a Class A Contractor License from the Commonwealth of Virginia and is SWaM-certified. We carry full general liability and workers compensation insurance on all projects.

Do you build custom pools in Virginia Beach?

Yes. We design and build custom inground pools as part of complete outdoor living environments, typically paired with pool decks, pergola shade structures, outdoor kitchens, and landscape lighting.

What areas of Hampton Roads do you serve?

Does Virginia Beach Patios offer paver maintenance and sealing?

Yes. We offer a one-time Paver Clean, Fill and Seal package as well as Standard and Premier recurring annual maintenance programs. Services include pressure washing, polymeric joint sand restoration, and professional sealer application. Available to VBP clients and homeowners with hardscapes installed by other contractors throughout Hampton Roads.

What areas does Virginia Beach Patios serve?

Virginia Beach Patios serves the entire Hampton Roads region including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton, and Newport News. We also serve neighborhoods including Sandbridge, Great Neck, Kempsville, Shore Drive, Pungo, Harbour View, and Deep Creek, as well as select projects in Richmond and the Northern Neck.

Does Virginia Beach Patios offer financing?

Yes. Virginia Beach Patios offers flexible financing options for qualified projects. Visit virginiabeachpatios.com/financing to learn more and apply.

Our process begins with a discovery consultation and site evaluation, followed by a Design-Build Proposal with investment range, 3D design development with rendered images and AR walkthrough, formal design approval, and full construction management through completion.

Is Virginia Beach Patios licensed and insured?

Yes. Virginia Beach Patios holds a Class A Contractor License from the Commonwealth of Virginia and is SWaM-certified by the Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity. We are fully insured.
