Craftsman porch columns, tapered piers, exposed rafter tails, built-in cabinetry, window seats, wainscoting, and crown molding — we restore and paint every detail. Our guide to white trim paint colors helps you choose the perfect shade.
Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Farrow & Ball exclusively. Every project backed by our 2-year written warranty and 120 five-star Google reviews.
From Colonials built in the 1920s to contemporary condos along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, our painters in Arlington VA specialize in every style this diverse county offers — similar architectural variety to Chevy Chase and Cleveland Park.
Arlington's most prevalent style. Brick exteriors, symmetrical facades, formal dining rooms, crown molding, wainscoting, chair rails, and fireplaces. Typical project: 2,000–4,000 sq ft.
Low-pitched roofs, wide eaves, deep front porches with tapered columns on stone piers, exposed rafter tails, built-in cabinetry, window seats, and intricate woodwork. Typical project: 1,200–2,200 sq ft.
Steeply pitched roofs, dormer windows, clapboard or shingle siding, and cozy interiors. Many have been expanded with additions. Typical project: 1,200–2,500 sq ft.
Open floor plans, large windows, clean lines, and natural materials. Our painters in Arlington VA paint open-concept interiors, accent walls, and contemporary trim for a polished modern finish.
Pentagon City, Rosslyn, Ballston, and Crystal City feature modern condos and high-rises. We coordinate with building management for elevator access, parking, and work-hour compliance. Interior condo painting starts at $475/room.
Half-timbering, steeply pitched gables, brick chimneys, and ornamental details. We paint half-timbering panels, stucco, leaded glass casings, and decorative trim with period-appropriate precision — similar historic detailing found in Chevy Chase Tudor 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.
