Clifton remains a small town in a sea of suburbs, with its historic Main Street lined with white picket fences, rustic lanterns, and barrels full of flowers. Most of the homes in Clifton are over one hundred and twenty years old, and the town itself has no traffic lights or direct postal service. The U.S. Department of Interior declared it a National Historic District in 1985. Because of its quaint charm, but proximity to metro areas, the town draws in artistic types, like the writer Jeff Arch, who was said to be living in a house on Clifton’s Main Street when he wrote the screenplay for the hit movie, Sleepless in Seattle.
As small as it is, residents of Clifton still want the modern joys of an outdoor deck added to their homes. A deck built with Trex composite decking material will last as long as the historic homes, with low-maintenance throughout the year. With an average of 202 sunny days per year, a deck in Clifton offers plenty of time to enjoy the fresh Virginia air year round. Even in the cooler winters, snow and ice removal is a breeze on a Trex composite deck. With so many designs and styles to choose from, a custom built deck in Clifton adds to the historic charm.
