Home Additions · Arlington
Why Arlington homeowners hire us.
An Arlington addition is drawn from the house we measure, not from a stock plan.
The public counter for Permit Arlington is staffed Monday through Thursday, with a short day each third Wednesday. Electrical code compliance on that permit is checked in the field. Electrical plans are not part of the plan review for that application. We do not install electrical systems on this addition. We lock the steps for this house before the addition drawings are final.
This Arlington addition is priced through a free written estimate after a site walk.
For this area, see Permits in Arlington County: what to expect.
