Masonry & Hardscaping in Arlington, VA

Arlington is mostly older houses on compact lots: brick colonials, Cape Cods, and bungalows from the 1920s through the 1950s, with original chimneys, brick steps, and walks that have settled over decades. That is most of the work we do here, along with walls on the steeper streets in the north of the county.

In Arlington: Chimney Repair in Arlington

Building in Arlington

One county, no towns

Arlington is a county with no incorporated towns, so every address goes through the same county permit office. Some neighborhoods are local historic districts, where exterior changes are reviewed by the Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board.

Older masonry

Chimney crowns crack, flashing fails, and mortar on the weather side erodes. Front steps pull away from the house as the soil under them settles. These are repairs where matching the existing brick and mortar matters as much as the structure.

Slopes and small yards

North Arlington in particular has steep lots, where a retaining wall or a set of steps is what makes the yard usable. On small lots, access for equipment is planned at the site visit, not discovered on the first day.

Frequently asked

Do you repair chimneys on older Arlington houses?

Yes: crowns, flashing, repointing, and rebuilding above the roofline, matched to the existing brick. We do not sweep chimneys or inspect flues; a CSIA-certified sweep does that, and we do the masonry their report calls for.

Is my house in a historic district?

Arlington has a number of local historic districts. If yours is in one, exterior changes go through the county review board first. We check your address before quoting.

My front steps are pulling away from the house. Can they be fixed?

Usually by taking them down to a proper footing and rebuilding, rather than patching the gap. We look at what is under them before recommending either.
