Exterior Remodeling on Capitol Hill, DC

Capitol Hill homes have a look and a history worth protecting. The brick rowhouses, Federal-style facades, and historic streetscapes demand a level of care that most exterior remodeling contractors aren't prepared to bring. Thankfully, there’s Alco Products. We’ve been working with homeowners in Capitol Hill and across the DC Metro area for 70 years. As a family-owned, third-generation exterior home remodeling company, this is the kind of work we love doing.

Exterior Remodeling Services for Capitol Hill Homes

Exterior remodeling in a historic neighborhood such as Capitol Hill requires a focus on preservation and careful work within a community that’s deeply invested in appearance. Alco Products is equipped to handle these challenges while delivering finished products our clients love. You can count on us for: 

Siding Replacement

James Hardie fiber cement siding works well for Capitol Hill homes. It performs beautifully in DC's climate while fitting the expectations of a historic district. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, we install it to manufacturer standards and back it with our own labor warranty.

Replacement Windows

Marvin is our primary window line for Capitol Hill projects, and for good reason. The wood-clad options align with preservation expectations in ways that most other products simply don't. Your replacement window project is in good hands with Alco. 

Exterior Door Replacement

Entry doors, patio doors, and French doors receive significant attention in this neighborhood. That’s why we work with two trusted door lines, Marvin and ProVia, to ensure our clients receive beautiful, lasting door replacements.

Roof Replacement 

We install CertainTeed asphalt shingles on Capitol Hill homes. As a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, we maintain roof installation standards that exceed those of typical general contractors. If your roof needs replacement, we'll guide you through shingle options that suit your home's age and profile. 

Historic Home Remodeling on Capitol Hill

Working in a historic district adds complexity that not every contractor addresses. Preservation guidelines shape which exterior materials are permitted, particularly for siding and windows.

Alco Products’ experience with historic-area projects means we understand which materials work within preservation frameworks. James Hardie fiber cement is widely used in historic districts because it mimics traditional materials while requiring less maintenance. We know the right questions to ask and which products have proven track records in neighborhoods like this.

We also provide project renderings before siding installation. On Capitol Hill, where the exterior shapes the streetscape as much as your own property, seeing the finished look in advance makes a real difference. Moreover, every project comes backed by our limited lifetime labor warranty, because we stand behind what we install.
