New To The Lake, Not To Decks! JV Custom Decks Expands From Utah

Lake of the Ozarks is built around outdoor living. From days on the water to evenings spent cooking, entertaining, and relaxing outside, a home's deck can become one of its most-used spaces.

That focus on outdoor living is exactly what’s bringing an established Utah deck builder to Lake of the Ozarks.

JV Custom Decks, founded by Jacob Virga, has expanded to the Lake, bringing experienced crews, established building systems, and years of experience with composite decking and outdoor living spaces.

For Virga, however, the move isn't simply about expanding into another market. His family has connections to the area, including family members who are part of the company.

That connection initially brought Lake of the Ozarks onto the company's radar. The area's emphasis on outdoor living made it a natural fit.

Built Around Decks

JV Custom Decks has grown from a Utah deck company into an operation with more than 10 deck-building crews.

Rather than offering decks as one service among many, the company specializes in decks and outdoor living spaces. That focus has helped its team develop experience with composite decking, railing systems, stairs, structural framing, elevated decks, and challenging terrain.

The company has also developed a strong relationship with Trex, achieving TrexPro Platinum status and completing and registering numerous Trex projects.

As the business grew, Virga expanded beyond JV Custom Decks by opening a second company, Prestige Custom Decks.

He also helped establish the Deck Builders Association of Utah, an organization created to bring professional deck builders together around craftsmanship, education, ethics, and improving standards within the industry.

Bringing An Established Operation To The Lake

While JV Custom Decks is new to Lake of the Ozarks, Virga says the company itself isn't starting from scratch.

Its experienced crews are coming to the Ozarks as the company develops its local Missouri operation, allowing it to bring the construction systems and standards it has established in Utah to projects at the Lake.

That's especially important in a market where decks can be a major part of a home.

Lake properties can present their own challenges, from elevated outdoor spaces to steep terrain. JV Custom Decks' experience includes the structural framing, stairs, railing systems, and composite materials that go into those projects.

And for homeowners considering composite decking, the company's extensive experience with Trex can help them navigate the different options available and determine what works for their home and outdoor space.

A Long-Term Investment

JV Custom Decks says its expansion into Missouri isn't intended to be temporary.

The company plans to establish a permanent Lake-area operation, bringing members of its existing team to the area while developing Missouri crews and creating local opportunities.

That also means building relationships with area suppliers, businesses, and homeowners as JV Custom Decks establishes its reputation at the Lake. The goal is to take the foundation that helped the company grow in Utah and build on it here — one project and one customer at a time.

For Lake homeowners, that brings another specialized option for creating or updating the outdoor spaces where so much of the Lake lifestyle happens.
