When our next-door neighbors had their house demolished and a new modern house built in its place they used Arlington Designer Homes and Andrew Moore. During this time we met and had great interactions with Andrew on multiple occasions and also heard very positive things from our neighbors. When we soon decided to make a massive renovation to our house, we of course engaged Andrew Moore and Arlington Designer Homes and have had a very worthwhile experience. We had three main objectives: we wanted to update or fix a variety of things, we wanted various improvements we had dreamed about, and we wanted to include things for aging in place. We first met with Andrew in late 2021 and got started with all the planning during 2022. We had already drawn up specific plans and had very specific ideas about the organization and construction. Andrew was very accommodating and we spent a lot of time going back and forth with him and the architect and trade people until we came up with a very extensive and desirable plan. The plan for updating included an all-new interior layout that moved most walls, and with new plumbing, insulation, electricity, 6-zone HVAC, floors, windows, doors and more and also an all-new exterior. The new “dreams” included a large addition out the back of the house, digging out the crawlspace to create a new lower level, and adding a new partial third level with a large deck. The plan for aging included leveling all the floors, low thresholds, larger doors, and a 4-story elevator. We moved out in 2023 during the renovation and moved back into our new, wonderful house in early 2024. We are very pleased with how it all turned out and we particularly were pleased with all of our interactions with Andrew (and also later, Janae Davne). Andrew and Janae have been very easy to communicate with and have been very responsive to all of our inquiries. Andrew was also effective in dealing with Arlington County on the many building and environmental requirements. We have also been pleased with how they have addressed all of our concerns (few and small) since we have moved back in.
