Expert Home Additions in Arlington, VA

When your Arlington home feels too small, a well-planned home addition gives you the space you need without leaving the neighborhood you chose. Argo Contractors handles the full scope of residential addition work, from room additions and second-story builds to kitchen bump-outs and in-law suites. We manage design coordination, city filings with Arlington's Planning and Development Services, structural work, framing, mechanical tie-ins, and finish carpentry. Arlington's building code requires a permit for every addition regardless of size, so we handle that process from the start to keep your project on solid legal footing. Many Arlington homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s with layouts that no longer fit growing or multigenerational families. We design additions that match your existing roofline, exterior finish, and interior flow so the new space looks like it was always there. Call Argo Contractors to schedule a site walk and get a clear scope for your project.

After conducting thorough research and reviewing positive client feedback, we reached out to Argo Contractors for our dormer, front porch, and three-season room renovation projects. Ultimately, we chose this company, confident in our decision. Geo the project manager and team leader, proved to be exceptionally helpful, attentive, and professional. Throughout every stage of the process, he was easy to contact and consistently responsive, often going beyond expectations to resolve any challenges that arose. Given our budget management concerns, Argo Contractors' affordable pricing and customer-focused approach were decisive factors in our choice. Their solutions provided excellent value without compromising on quality. The team delivered outstanding results on our home remodel, completing the work within the planned timeline—a rare achievement in the construction industry. Despite facing cold winter weather during the early stages, they maintained progress and upheld high standards in the finishing touches, demonstrating their dedication to quality. We are extremely pleased with the final outcome and found the construction services to be reliable throughout. Without hesitation, we would choose n again for any future home improvement projects.

Cannot say enough good things about Argo Contractors as a company as well as the windows they installed in our home. We received quotes from 3-4 reputable big name window companies and Nichola’s price point was tens of thousands of dollars less. The entire process was top tier. Their transparency, communication, speed, product quality, and installation was outstanding. We took out some big arch windows and it was so great that nicholas was able to install siding to fit the new window shape. Nothing cookie cutter about them. This made the job seamless and smooth. Do not go anywhere else for windows! We have fiberglass windows with the exception of two vinyl windows (and they look great together even though they are different brands. This was only possible because we went with Nicholas and they sell multiple window lines so we were able to choose what best fit our needs and budget.

After researching and vetting numerous contractors in the area for our small townhouse bathroom renovation, we met with Nicholas from Argo and based on that initial conversation alone, immediately signed a contract to begin work with Argo. Nicholas and his team are genuinely good people and are extremely good at what they do! Highly, highly recommend Argo for your renovation needs. Our townhouse is over 80 years old and in an HOA complex; they were very familiar with the layout and knew that the concrete floor and walls needed to be completely ripped out and redone. Their price was reasonable and the quality of work was immaculate. When comparing contractors, I had two other firms quote me THREE TIMES as much for the work that needed to be done. Insane. And they probably would not have completed the reno as meticulously as Argo did. Nicholas and his team made the process extremely easy. Nicholas has a fabulous eye for design and he added some finishing touches that I would have never thought of but look amazing in the space. Honestly, it was close to a design-build style of project where I gave him my thoughts on color schemes and tiling and they purchased the materials and made it all come to life. They also helped install a new storm door and light fixture in our living room. If you need a general contractor, I cannot recommend Argo enough!

Working with Nicholas and the entire team at Argo was a smooth and painless experience. With many years of experience, Nicholas & his team knew how to stay a step ahead, and I realized how important this was on a project like ours with so many moving parts. David was our project manager and we met weekly to discuss the status of our renovation, to do lists, and upcoming tasks. I loved the organization. In addition, the workmanship from the carpenters and all subs was impeccable… Absolutely nothing went unnoticed, attention to every detail was met. Our project turned out amazing and we are thrilled. I highly recommend Schneider Construction. Thanks for helping us make our dream project come true.

We were faced with an unexpected leak that lead to our master bath in need of repair and remodel. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. Our project manager Nicholas came out, took a look at our home and outlined what would need to be done. David and Geo were assigned to do the work on our home. They did an amazing job. They were courteous and kind when they realize there would be a mild delay in the process. They let us know immediately and helped ease our mind that everything will go as smoothly as possible. We lost access to two areas of the home, but they made sure that everything stayed as neat and clean as possible. I couldn’t be happier with the results of our new bathroom we went from a shab old bathroom to a luxury bathroom fit for a king and queen. I’m so happy with our results and would use them again for any reconstruction project that would come up in our home. Thank you Nicholas Contracting you guys are the best!!!
