Under the leadership of long-time Arlingtonian and twenty-year industry veteran, Chad Hackmann, Alair Homes is an award-winning custom home builder and remodeler serving the metro region from its Arlington, Falls Church and Washington D.C. offices.
Alair’s local expertise includes working with the region’s small-lot 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 2026 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 kept us updated at every step in the project, deftly handled numerous complications that could have really slowed the timeline and provided valuable insight to us along the way.”
Hackmann’s advice if you are considering a home construction project: do your research. “When choosing a builder, transparency, communication and track record are the most important things to consider,” he says. “You need a trusted advisor who will listen to what’s important to you and honestly walk you through your options. That is what Alair does best.”
