Some of Our Work

Recent Project

One of our recent projects involved a historic home in Old Town Alexandria. The property had rotted wood siding that required immediate attention to prevent further water damage and maintain its structural integrity. Our team carefully replaced the damaged siding using period-appropriate materials to comply with the stringent guidelines set by the Old Town Board of Architectural Review (BAR). Once the siding was replaced, we applied exterior painting to restore the home’s original charm. The result was a beautifully preserved historic property that seamlessly blended with the neighborhood's timeless aesthetic. This project is a testament to our dedication to quality workmanship and attention to detail, especially when working on historic homes in Alexandria.

"Wonderful experience working with Nate, Ritchie, and Gustavo. All three were very professional. As a woman home alone, I felt comfortable with all three men in my house. The work they did was incredible, they kept the space neat in between work sessions, produced incredible work, and I will hire them for future work needed on my old home. Thanks for everything!"

"Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!! After buying our older home, we hired the Concierge Team at Harry Braswell, Inc to paint; cut attic access; put trim: on walls, above kitchen cabinets & along stairwell; backsplash in kitchen; switch out light switches…the list goes on. They tackled it all with the highest level of craftsmanship and professionalism! We. Are. So. Happy. and talks are already underway for another big-ish project or 2! Thank you so much to the most amazing team (extra shout out to our life-line, Nate and his amazing workers!) Don’t hesitate…make the call and have it done by the best!"

"I have hired Braswell Concierge on numerous occasions to work on my house. Most recently, Braswell replaced my home's frieze boards (the wooden trim between the top of the exterior brick wall and the roof line). My home was built in 1938, and these boards had started to rot and were being attacked by capentar bees and woodpeckers. Braswell replaced the old frieze boards with PVC boards, thus eliminating any temptation for the carpentar bees and woodpeckers. I'm very happy with their work. Also, the trades people Braswell sends to complete the work are always friendly and polite."
