Contractor in 20020
Anacostia, DC
Historic Anacostia was laid out in the 1850s, and a repair inside the historic district carries more rules than one across the line in Maryland. We rebuild plaster walls after leaks and houses after fires, and turn apartments and rowhouse rentals.
20020 Holds the Oldest Houses East of the River
Historic Anacostia was laid out in the 1850s as Uniontown, and many of its frame and brick houses date from the 1800s. Around it, Hillsdale, Fairlawn and Barry Farm add rowhouses, semi-detached homes and apartment buildings from the decades since.
Old houses inside a historic district mean a repair here carries more rules than one across the line in Maryland.

Historic District Review
Historic district review is the step where DC's Historic Preservation Office looks at exterior work on a house in the Anacostia Historic District before a permit is issued. Windows, porches, siding and rooflines all count.
Interior rebuilding after water or fire damage usually skips that review. Anything you change outside does not, so we sort out which is which before the schedule is set.
What Anacostia Owners and Landlords Need
Plaster walls after a leak
The 1800s houses here have plaster on wood lath. After a leak we rebuild with materials that sit right beside the plaster that stays.
Water damage rebuildsRebuilding after a fire
Fire in an attached or semi-detached house reaches the neighbor's wall too. We rebuild your side to code and document it for your insurer.
Fire damage reconstructionApartment make-readies
Apartment buildings along Good Hope Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE turn units between tenants. One crew gets each unit inspection-ready.
Apartment turnoversRowhouse and flat rentals
Rowhouses split into flats need paint, floors and the housing-code items fixed before the next tenant signs. We price each unit in writing.

From Bryans Road to 20020 is roughly 16 miles north, and the Capitol is less than 3 miles away across the Anacostia River.
Indian Head Highway (MD 210) brings the crew up to I-295 inside the District, and the exits for the avenue named for Dr. King and for Good Hope Road leave us a few blocks from the Anacostia Metro station.
