Under the leadership of long-time Arlingtonian and twenty-year industry veteran Chad Hackmann, Alair Arlington is an award-winning custom home builder and remodeler serving the D.C. metro region.
Alair’s expertise is working with Arlington’s small lots and setback requirements. “Whether navigating permitting, zoning, historic preservation or structural complexities, my team and I excel at intricate projects,” says Hackmann. Alair’s outstanding craftsmanship has received numerous industry top honors, including a 2025 NARI Regional Remodeler of the Year award.
Alair’s commitment to transparency sets them apart from competitors. Their proprietary Client Control® system empowers homeowners with 24/7 access to their project schedule and budget. Using this unique system, homeowners can seamlessly track every line item related to their projects, eliminating surprises and allowing them to control costs.
Additionally, each homeowner has a direct relationship with their project manager from concept through completion, giving them the one-on-one attention they deserve. One satisfied homeowner recently shared, “Our project manager was always responsive and detail-oriented. I had a few unique design requests for the interior, and he was great at remembering everything and making it happen.”
Hackmann advises homeowners to research and understand how different builders scope and price their projects and to not settle for the lowest-cost bidder, assuming you will get the same quality, experience and value.
“Choosing a builder based only on proposed costs can compromise your vision and construction quality. Ensure you fully understand the finishes and services offered in each proposal and don’t discount the value of transparency, communication, and a strong track record.”
