Building in Alexandria

City or county?

Alexandria is an independent city, but many homes with an Alexandria mailing address south and west of the city line are in Fairfax County. The two have different permit offices and different rules, so we confirm which one your lot is in before we design anything.

Historic districts

In the Old Town and Parker-Gray historic districts, exterior work that can be seen from a public street generally goes through the Board of Architectural Review. Front steps and walks are the usual case. We tell you at the site visit whether a design is likely to need review.

Brick and tight lots

On an older Alexandria house the right material is usually clay brick, or a paver chosen to sit with the brick of the house. On a small lot every patio is pitched away from the foundation and the runoff is planned before the surface is chosen.

Most requested in Alexandria

Frequently asked

Do you work in Old Town?

Yes. Projects there often need Board of Architectural Review approval when they can be seen from the street, and access is tighter, so we plan deliveries and staging around the block before work starts.

My address says Alexandria. Which rules apply?

Check your real-estate tax bill: it comes from either the City of Alexandria or Fairfax County, and that decides which permit office and rules apply. We confirm it at the site visit.

Can you match the brick on my house?

Usually closely. We match size, color, and texture, and the mortar color and joint profile, which matter as much as the brick itself. Samples are brought to the site so you can judge them against your walls.
