Why Painters Arlington VA
Painters Arlington VA

Arlington's Colonial, Craftsman & Cape Cod Painting Experts

Arlington, Virginia, just minutes from Georgetown and Foxhall, is one of the most architecturally diverse communities in the Washington DC metro area — a 26-square-mile county packed with over 20 National Register Historic Districts and neighborhoods spanning every major American residential style from the 1890s through today. Lyon Village and Ashton Heights anchor North Arlington with stately brick Colonials along Lee Highway and Highland Street. Cherrydale and Lyon Park offer iconic Craftsman bungalows with deep front porches, tapered columns, and intricate woodwork along Military Road and Quincy Street.

Westover and Aurora Highlands feature classic Cape Cods with dormer windows and steeply pitched roofs along Washington Boulevard. The Clarendon-Courthouse corridor, Ballston, Rosslyn, Pentagon City, and Crystal City add condos, townhomes, high-rises, and contemporary new construction. Colonial Village, one of Arlington's earliest planned communities, mixes Colonial and mid-century styles along Wilson Boulevard.

HomePro DMV Painters serves Arlington with the precision this architecturally rich community requires. Our owner, Francois “Francois”, brings Paris-trained craftsmanship to every project. Our painters in Arlington VA provide premium interior painting, exterior painting, crown molding and trim painting, wainscoting installation, cabinet refinishing, wallpaper installation, drywall repair, and color consultation for every Arlington home type.

Lead-Safe Painting

Lead-Safe Painting for Pre-1978 Arlington Homes

The vast majority of Arlington's historic homes were built before the 1978 federal ban on lead-based paint. Colonials, Craftsman bungalows, Cape Cods, and Tudor Revivals very likely contain lead paint on original trim, porches, window casings, built-in cabinetry, and staircase components.

Under the EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, any contractor disturbing paint in pre-1978 homes must follow lead-safe work practices. HomePro DMV Painters is EPA RRP certified. On every Arlington project involving original surfaces, our painters in Arlington VA follow full lead-safe protocols: containment barriers, wet methods, HEPA vacuuming, proper disposal, and clearance testing when required. Your family's safety is our priority, backed by our 2-year written warranty on all work.

What Arlington Homeowners Say About Our Painters

★★★★★

"HomePro DMV painted every room in our Lyon Village Colonial — living room, dining room with wainscoting, four bedrooms, and all the trim. The crew was meticulous, especially around the built-in bookcases and crown molding. Francois personally checked every detail. Beautiful results."

Margaret T.Lyon Village, Arlington VA
★★★★★

"We hired HomePro DMV to paint our Cherrydale Craftsman bungalow — interior walls, exposed beams, the front porch columns, and kitchen cabinets. They handled every Craftsman detail with care. The porch looks incredible. Best painters in Arlington VA."

David K.Cherrydale, Arlington VA
★★★★★

"Our Westover Cape Cod needed a complete exterior refresh — siding, dormers, shutters, and the front door. HomePro DMV did a phenomenal job. They prepped every surface and the Farrow & Ball colors look stunning. Our neighbors keep asking who our painters are."
