Arlington's Pre-War Heritage
Arlington, Virginia, is unique among NoVA communities because of its density of pre-war neighborhoods. Clarendon, Lyon Village, Waverly Hills, Rosemont, and other Arlington communities feature homes built between 1900 and 1940 with wood joist and diagonal plank subfloors, floored with solid 3/4" hardwood. These neighborhoods are where the refinish-first discipline is most valuable — original solid oak in a 1925 Clarendon colonial is denser and more dimensionally stable than almost any replacement product available today.
Many Arlington homes were carpeted in the 1970s or 1980s, and the original hardwood beneath is frequently intact. Floors and Beyond VA has pulled up carpet in dozens of Arlington homes to find material that no one in the household knew existed. Restoration preserves the historical character that gives Arlington neighborhoods their value, and buyers in Clarendon and Lyon Village specifically reward original hardwood.
Arlington Neighborhoods Served
Floors and Beyond VA serves all of Arlington's neighborhoods, including Clarendon, Ballston, Rosslyn, Crystal City, Lyon Village, Waverly Hills, Rosemont, Courthouse, Virginia Square, and Aurora Hills. The company also serves nearby Alexandria and Falls Church. Each Arlington neighborhood has its own construction era and subfloor pattern, and the subfloor assessment is the first step in every Arlington project.
The Arlington Climate Factor
Arlington's location in the urban core of the DC metro means the climate factors are slightly different from the outer suburbs. The urban heat island effect can raise summer temperatures slightly, which affects the humidity in Arlington homes. The HVAC system must be operating to maintain 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 to 50 percent relative humidity for hardwood acclimation and finish curing. Spring pollen from oak, grass, and ragweed is a factor in Arlington homes with large trees — common in the pre-war neighborhoods.
Why In-House Crews for Arlington
Floors and Beyond VA does not use subcontractors. Every Arlington installation — whether it is hardwood restoration in a Clarendon colonial, SPC LVP in a Ballston condo, or tile in a Crystal City bathroom — is performed by an in-house employee supervised on-site. The company's reputation in Arlington is built on decades of consistent quality, direct accountability, and the subfloor-first discipline that has defined the company since 1987.
