A City Steeped in History and Full of Possibility
If you're considering a home renovation in Alexandria, VA, you're in good company. Known for its historic streetscapes, preserved architecture, and vibrant neighborhoods, Alexandria offers a unique blend of character and livability. From Old Town to Del Ray and beyond, it’s a place where thoughtful renovation can significantly improve how a home functions while maintaining its architectural integrity.
Landis has proudly served Alexandria and the greater DC area for 35 years. With deep local knowledge, award-winning design, and in-house construction expertise, we bring your vision to life through a seamless architect-led process tailored to your home and lifestyle.
Renovating in Alexandria requires a firm that understands both the opportunity and the responsibility that comes with working in a historically rich community. Many Alexandria homes, particularly in Old Town and the surrounding historic districts, are subject to Board of Architectural Review (BAR) guidelines that govern everything from exterior materials and window styles to roofline changes. Our team has navigated these approvals many times, and we know how to design renovations that satisfy review boards while delivering the modern functionality you're looking for.
Beyond historic districts, Alexandria is home to a wide range of architectural styles and renovation possibilities. Whether you're opening up a galley kitchen in a Del Ray bungalow, adding a second story to a mid-century ranch in Seminary Hill, or transforming a townhome in Cameron Station with a contemporary interior update, our architect-led design-build approach ensures every detail is considered from the start.
We also work extensively with Alexandria homeowners on projects that maximize livable space without sacrificing character. Basement finishing, rear additions, and reconfigured floorplans are common requests in a city where lot sizes can be modest but the desire for more room is real. Our architects excel at finding square footage you didn't know you had, and our builders know how to execute those designs with precision.
