Historic Properties in Northern Virginia
Built by One Accountable Team
Northern Virginia holds some of the oldest homes in the country, from 18th-century Old Town Alexandria rowhouses to century-old colonials and farmhouses across Fairfax and Loudoun. Remodeling them well is a discipline of restraint: preserve what cannot be replaced, upgrade what must be, and never let the two fight.
With flooring roots dating to 1987, we know old houses from the joists up. We restore original hardwood and millwork, open layouts without erasing character, and weave modern systems, lighting, insulation, plumbing, into walls that have earned the right to stay.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
The Historic Properties Difference
Restoration, not replacement
We patch wide-plank pine and restore divided-light trim that no catalog sells anymore, and we know when replacement is genuinely kinder.
Modern comfort, invisible wiring
A modern kitchen and climate hidden in the walls of yesterday, executed so the house keeps its soul.
Old-house surprises, budgeted
We price realistically for what 200-year-old walls hide, and tell you before demolition, not after.
Historic-district fluency
Old Town Alexandria review boards and approval processes are paperwork we have run many times, so approvals do not stall the job.
Our Approach
The past, made livable
The best historic renovations are the ones you cannot quite identify: the kitchen feels modern, the floors feel original, and neither apologizes. We design with the era of the home as a collaborator, using appropriate profiles, honest materials, and craftsmanship details old builders would recognize and approve.
Our specialty is the intersection: original heart-pine floors refinished to a glow, meeting a crisp new kitchen that fits the bones of the home. From Del Ray bungalows to Mount Vernon-adjacent estates, the goal is the same, a home that serves a modern family while staying unmistakably itself.
