Federal Contracting in Alexandria, VA
From Old Town rowhouses to Eisenhower Valley offices, work here runs through historic review and river humidity alike.
Get a free quoteAlexandria's building stock splits sharply between Old Town's federal-era brick rowhouses, many dating to the late 1700s and 1800s, and the postwar brick and frame construction that fills the West End and Eisenhower Valley. Work in the historic district almost always runs through the Board of Architectural Review, which shapes how additions and roofing repairs get planned long before a crew shows up.
Rowhouse lots are narrow and deep, so additions here usually mean building up or back rather than out, and kitchens in these older homes often need plumbing and wiring pulled up to current code before any cabinet goes in. Commercial work concentrates along the Eisenhower Avenue corridor and Route 1, where office and retail buildings need low-slope roof systems built for the humidity and river proximity that Old Town's slate and standing seam roofs don't have to deal with.

What Alexandria calls us for
Commercial
Office and retail buildouts along the Eisenhower Avenue corridor need low-slope roofing built for river area humidity.
Additions
Narrow, deep rowhouse lots in Old Town mean additions get planned around Board of Architectural Review approval before anything else.
Kitchens
Older brick homes often need plumbing and wiring updated to current code before a kitchen renovation can move forward.
Roofing
Historic slate and standing seam roofs in Old Town require a different approach than the flat commercial roofs out in the West End.
