Working in Alexandria
Alexandria takes in two very different kinds of homes: older brick houses in the city, many with small yards and street-facing steps, and suburban houses in the Fairfax County areas that share the Alexandria mailing address. Brick repair and front entries are common in the first group. Driveways, patios, and drainage fixes are common in the second.
Whichever side of the line you are on, Joseph Cash comes out for the estimate and explains what the job involves and which office will review it. Our own crew does the work, never subcontractors. Every job carries a 5-year workmanship warranty, and paver installs add a 15-year no-settlement warranty. Estimates are free.
Building in Alexandria: what to know
City of Alexandria or Fairfax County
The City of Alexandria is an independent city, and Cameron Run forms much of its southern boundary with Fairfax County. Many homes beyond it have Alexandria mailing addresses but are in Fairfax County, with different permit offices and rules. Your tax bill shows which applies. We confirm it before we design or price anything.
Two historic districts in the city
The City of Alexandria has two locally regulated historic districts, the Old and Historic Alexandria District and the Parker-Gray District, each with its own Board of Architectural Review. Exterior changes visible from a public street generally need approval, either by staff or at a public hearing. We tell you at the estimate whether review is likely.
Marine clay on the county side
Fairfax County identifies marine clay as a problem soil in the southeast part of the county, east of I-95 and I-395, with Franconia and Hybla Valley among the hotspots. Many of those homes have Alexandria addresses. The clay shrinks, swells, and holds water, so we plan base depth and drainage with it in mind.

Alexandria: common questions
My address says Alexandria. Which rules apply?
It depends on whether the property is in the City of Alexandria or Fairfax County, and your real estate tax bill shows which. The two have separate permit offices and rules. We confirm your jurisdiction before quoting.
Do you work in Old Town?
Yes. In the Old and Historic Alexandria District, exterior work visible from a public street usually needs Board of Architectural Review or staff approval first. We plan the design and materials around that review and confirm requirements with City staff.
Does marine clay affect a new driveway or patio?
It can. Marine clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which can move a surface built on a thin base. Where it is present, we plan a deeper base and better drainage, and we check the county soil maps first.
