Pull Down Attic Stairs

In this video, you will see how you can gain easier access to your attic by installing pull down stairs. If you have outdated stairs, they can also be replaced, the opening widened and there are a few options in terms of stair types. If you or someone you know is tired of having to set up a ladder on the floor to get in your attic or are afraid your stairs will fail at any moment, let us come out and inspect them and make some recommendations. You’ll be glad you did!

FW&D Interviewed by Patch.com

Merlisa Lawrence Corbett of the Clarendon-Courthouse-Rosslyn Patch, a local chapter of Patch.com, interviewed FW&D's own Ned Overton about remodeling small bathrooms.

On August 31, 2011, Merlisa published her article, "Big Ideas for Small Baths", providing information about updating old bathrooms, how to best utilize small spaces, and the need for quality materials. The use of a knowledgeable contractor will ensure that each homeowner's desire for personal style will be reflected best in their most intimate space.


She features the FW&D blog and uses images from our satisfied bathroom customers from Fairlington, Virginia.

To be featured by Merlisa was quite an honor for us.

Fairlington Fire Hazard


Fairlington was converted from apartments to condos in the mid 70's. The basements had a bathroom added and the dryers were vented using plastic flex hose. As you can see in this picture the lint clings to the walls of the hose and builds up causing the dryer to work harder and be less effective. It is also a fire hazard. The most recent event was in the 3000 block of S. Buchanan St.
If you are planning a remodel of your basement bathroom be sure to include changing the plastic flex hose to metal hard pipe.

Shower Leaks


Fairlington bath rooms are in the age range of 30+ years and many hide the signs of age. FW&D frequently finds these tell tale signs after we demo a bath room. This leak was significant in that it had deteriorated the 2x4 stud away from the bottom sill plate and had a mold problem, unbeknownst to the homeowner.

CONTRACT PRICE CHANGES!

Why was the final cost different from the original proposal? When we removed the existing tile from the wall on this Alexandria Virginia bath room remodel we found rotten wood as a result of the window leaking. It was then necessary to contact the homeowner and advise them of the circumstances and devolop a change order for the repairs. We removed and replaced all of the wet insulation and rotten wood which was not anticipated or projected in the original proposal. This is just one example of how the original cost estimate can change.
