From Old Town to the West End

Alexandria spans three centuries of basements: Old Town rowhouses with brick foundations older than the code itself, mid-century ranchers in the West End, and new townhome communities going up now. The egress requirement is the same everywhere, but the work is not — a 200-year-old brick foundation gets a structural assessment before anyone cuts, while a West End block wall is a standard job. We treat each era with the care it demands.

Historic District Considerations

If your Alexandria home sits in a historic district, exterior changes may need BAR (Board of Architectural Review) approval — and a window well is an exterior change. Check the district requirements before we dig; we will design the well and cover to satisfy both the code and the board. Outside the districts, standard county process applies.

Basement Apartments Along the Corridors

Alexandria's rental corridors have many basement units, and every sleeping room in them needs egress. Landlords: the free visit includes a full compliance check of every basement bedroom — one visit, complete answers. Call (301) 679-9193 for a free written estimate in Alexandria.
