Arlington & Alexandria Restoration Services
Serving Arlington County and the City of Alexandria, Virginia
Built for Arlington & Alexandria's Unique Mix
Few corners of Northern Virginia combine as many architectural eras as Arlington and Alexandria. From Federal-era brick townhomes in Old Town, to 1920s–50s brick colonials in Del Ray and Arlington Ridge, to glass-and-steel high-rises in Rosslyn, Ballston, and Clarendon, every street presents a different restoration puzzle.
We work inside historic districts governed by the Alexandria Board of Architectural Review and the Arlington Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board, and we coordinate daily with the dense HOAs and condo associations that define most of Arlington's urban corridors. That means matching original mortar profiles, working around party walls on attached rowhomes, and navigating tight curbside parking without disrupting neighbors.
Whether it's a slate roof repair on a King Street rowhome or a TPO replacement on a Clarendon mid-rise, our crews deliver craftsmanship that respects the building and meets every Virginia code requirement.

What Arlington & Alexandria Homes Face
The Potomac corridor gets hit with summer derechos, tropical remnants riding up the Chesapeake, winter ice storms, and the wind-tunnel effect created by high-rise canyons along the Metro corridor.
Straight-line winds regularly exceed 70 mph, lifting shingles, tearing flashing, and toppling mature hardwoods onto rooflines.
Late-summer tropical systems dump 3–6" of rain in hours, overwhelming valley flashings and century-old gutter boxes on historic rowhomes.
Poorly insulated attic spaces in older Alexandria homes create ice dams that push water back under shingles and into plaster ceilings.
Quarter- to golf-ball-sized hail hits the region most years, damaging asphalt granules, metal roofs, siding, and window screens.
