Home repair in Reston, VA
Reston is a planned community that started at Lake Anne in 1964 and grew in clusters through the 1980s. Townhouse clusters, contemporary houses with flat roofs and big windows, and condos around Town Center. The Reston Association sets exterior rules by cluster, so a paint color or a deck rail is checked against the cluster standards before the work.
Or call or text (240) 858-0149. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
Clusters, covenants and 1960s contemporaries
The 1960s and 1970s contemporaries have their own problems. Flat roofs that pond, cedar siding that needs a board, interior doors with no casing, and a lot of original wood that nobody makes anymore. We repair to match rather than replace, because replacement in a Reston cluster is a committee question.
Lake Anne and Hunters Woods townhouses have vertical cedar siding with a wide channel. The bottom foot rots at the patio. We replace the bottom section with matching cedar, prime all six sides, and leave the rest of the wall alone.

Reston questions
- Does my cluster need to approve a repair in Reston?
- Like for like repair usually does not. A color or material change usually does. We write the materials on the estimate so you can check them with the cluster board.
- Can you match the cedar siding on a 1970s Reston townhouse?
- Yes. We source the same profile and width, prime all sides, and replace only the rotted section.
- Do you work in Reston condos near Town Center?
- Yes, with the building rules on hours and elevators followed, and drop cloths in the halls.
