Arlington Siding Pros — Home

Protecting Arlington Homes With the Right Siding, Installed the Right Way

Arlington's housing stock tells the story of a county that grew fast: brick colonials and Cape Cods thrown up quickly in the post-World War II boom as the Pentagon and federal workforce drove demand, dense garden-apartment communities from the same era, and — closer to the Metro corridor — a newer wave of townhomes and infill construction where siding meets brick veneer on the same block. Each of those building types ages differently, and each fails differently when siding lets moisture in. Arlington Siding Pros is a free referral service that connects Arlington homeowners with licensed, insured local siding contractors, whether you're replacing original siding on a Cherrydale bungalow or repairing storm damage on a Westover Cape Cod.

Why Arlington Siding Projects Aren't One-Size-Fits-All

Historic Districts Here Are Small — But They're Real

Arlington doesn't have one sweeping historic district covering the county the way Alexandria's Old and Historic District covers much of that city's core. Instead, Arlington has 42 local historic districts, ranging from a single landmark building up to an entire neighborhood like Maywood — and pockets of Colonial Village, Ashton Heights, and Lyon Village carry the same designation. If your property falls inside one of these boundaries, exterior siding changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the county's Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board before work starts. Most Arlington homeowners aren't in a historic district at all — but the ones who are face a real review process, and a contractor who doesn't know to check is a contractor who can get your project stopped mid-job.

Post-War Construction, Present-Day Moisture Problems

Much of North Arlington's single-family housing — the brick colonials and Cape Cods built in the 1940s and 1950s in neighborhoods like Cherrydale and Westover — carries original or early-replacement wood siding on gable ends and dormers above the brick line, plus later vinyl retrofits on additions. Virginia's humid summers are hard on both: wood that hasn't been repainted and caulked on schedule rots from the inside, and vinyl installed without proper house wrap or flashing lets water track behind the panels toward original sheathing that was never built to handle it.

Storm Damage and Insurance Claims

Wind and hail from Northern Virginia's summer storm season damage siding across the county every year — cracked panels, dented trim, granule loss on fiber cement. Well-documented damage is often covered by a homeowner's policy, but the claim usually lives or dies on the quality of the inspection report.

HOA and Condo Association Rules

Arlington's dense townhome and garden-apartment communities — many, like Colonial Village, dating to some of the first FHA-insured multifamily housing built in the country — are often governed by homeowners or condo associations with their own approved siding materials and colors, layered on top of any county requirements.
