Sunburst Construction

What Sunburst Construction does

Sunburst Construction, Inc. is a family-owned residential contracting firm headquartered in Sterling, Virginia, that has operated continuously since 1994 under The Small Family (Fred Small, Aliya Small, and Mason Small). The company specializes in outdoor living construction — primarily custom decks, patios, porches, pool surrounds, and related outdoor features — and has expanded its offering into interior home renovations including bathrooms, basements, and home additions. It holds a Virginia Class A contractor license and maintains elite-tier dealer credentials with two major composite decking manufacturers: Trex (TrexPro Platinum Dealer) and TimberTech AZEK (Gold Registered Contractor), along with a partnership with Porch Conversions for FlexiGlaze window systems.

The firm serves individual homeowners across Northern Virginia, with a stated service area spanning Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William, and Arlington counties plus adjacent jurisdictions. Its business model is project-based residential design-build: revenue is generated per project via a mix of labor and materials (the latter sourced through its manufacturer partnerships), with no subscription, recurring-contract, or commercial-account layer. Demand generation runs through manufacturer co-marketing, a content/blog presence, social media, and an interactive online pricing calculator that provides self-serve project estimates.

Operationally, Sunburst runs with a small team of 11–50 employees, leaning on family leadership and licensed subcontractor networks typical of regional residential builders. It is a private, self-funded business with no disclosed institutional capital, no public revenue figures, and no acquisitions or M&A activity on record.
