Northern Virginia
Home repair in Arlington County, VA
Arlington is small lots, brick colonials and cape cods from the 1940s, and a line of high rise condos along the Metro. The older homes have plaster, radiators and doors that have been planed a few too many times. The condos have the usual list and a front desk that wants paperwork before anyone comes up.
Or call or text (240) 858-0149. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
1940s colonials and condo access
Parking decides the day in Arlington the same way it does in DC. We ask about it when you book. Virginia licensed contractors do the work, and the license number is on your estimate.
Cherrydale, Westover and the north Arlington neighborhoods have a lot of 1940s doors that were cut down for carpet that is long gone. The gap under the door is the giveaway. We fix that with a new door or a bottom sweep depending on the gap, and tell you which on site.

Arlington questions
- Do you work in Arlington high rise condos?
- Yes. We need the building and management contact at booking so the certificate of insurance and work hours are arranged ahead of the visit.
- Does Arlington need a permit for small repairs?
- Not for drywall, doors, trim or paint. Anything that moves plumbing or electrical does, and the licensed trade pulls it through Permit Arlington.
- Where do you park?
- Where you tell us. If the block has no option we plan a drop off and move the truck, or build a garage fee into the estimate so there is no surprise.
