What specific carpentry services do you offer in Arlington and Alexandria?
Our Northern Virginia crews specialize in fixing or replacing exterior wood components compromised by standing water, pests, UV damage, or other issues unique to our climate. This includes fences, siding, columns, eaves, shutters, trim, balusters, and structural reinforcement of porches and decks. We can match existing profiles or create custom elements for seamless transitions between original and new sections.
How do you handle wood repairs in this region’s climate?
We start by fully assessing damage and determining whether replacement or repair is required. We replace irreparable sections with weather-resistant woods or comparative materials in the same profile. We apply the ideal protective finish on repaired areas to withstand Northern Virginia’s humidity, freezing rain, rapid temperature fluxes and other threats.
Can you match the ornamental wood details on old homes in Alexandria and Arlington?
Absolutely! We’ve refurbished countless row houses in Old Town and historic properties in Arlington, repairing original trim profiles, matching unusual textures, replicating custom details, etc. We’ll make your home’s new carpentry blend seamlessly with existing architectural elements.
What types of sealants do you use on regional carpentry jobs?
Our finish carpenters use high-grade, waterproofing sealants designed specifically to withstand Northern Virginia climate rigors like extreme rains, winter snow and ice, blistering summer sun, and quick weather changes. We’ll advise on the optimal protective coatings during our preliminary assessment.
How long does an average carpentry job take your Alexandria-Arlington crew?
