Our Story and Background

Construction has always been part of our foundation. Before starting DLA Design & Build in Virginia, our background includes years of hands-on experience with kitchens, bathrooms, renovations, and full residential construction projects.

After moving to the United States, the early years were about learning the local systems, codes, inspections, and expectations. Over the last several years, our focus has been on remodeling and construction projects throughout Northern Virginia, with a strong emphasis on additions and full-scope renovations.

DLA Design & Build was formed to bring that experience together under one company that operates with professionalism, structure, and respect for the homeowner’s investment.

How We Are Structured and Why It Matters

Large remodeling and addition projects require more than one skill set to succeed. At DLA Design & Build, projects are handled by a team with clearly defined roles.

Initial consultations and larger project discussions are handled by an experienced construction professional with strong communication skills and deep industry knowledge. Once a project moves forward, dedicated project management takes over. Scheduling, inspections, coordination of trades, and day-to-day execution are handled with precision and accountability.

This structure allows homeowners to get clear answers upfront and consistent management throughout the build.

Experience You Can Rely On

Our team brings nearly a decade of combined construction experience, including work on high-value homes, complex additions, garage expansions, and full renovations. We understand how older homes are built, how modern systems need to be integrated, and how to manage projects that involve permits, inspections, and multiple trades.

We do not chase volume or underpriced work. We focus on projects that make sense structurally, financially, and long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical remodeling or addition project take?

Project timelines vary based on scope, but most projects follow a clear schedule after planning is complete. Smaller remodels may take a few weeks, while full renovations or additions can take several months. You’ll receive updates at key milestones so you always know what’s happening.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We manage the entire permitting and inspection process from start to finish. This ensures your project meets all local Ashburn and Northern Virginia building codes and avoids delays caused by missing approvals.

What types of projects do you specialize in?

We focus on home additions, whole-home renovations, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, decks, patios, and garage additions. These are full-scope construction projects that require proper planning and execution, not just cosmetic updates.

How do you make sure the new space matches the existing home?

Every project is designed to integrate seamlessly with your home. We focus on structural planning, layout flow, and matching materials and finishes so the final result feels like it was always part of the house—not an add-on.

Will I know what’s happening during the project?

Yes. Clear communication is a big part of how we work. You’ll get updates throughout the project, and we explain each phase before it starts so there are no surprises.

What kind of warranty do you provide?

All labor is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties. If an issue comes up during the warranty period, it will be addressed promptly.

Can you help with design and layout decisions?

Yes. Every project starts with planning how the space will actually be used. We guide you through layout, functionality, and finish selections so the final result works for your daily life—not just looks good.

Is it better to remodel or move?

For many homeowners in Ashburn, remodeling or adding onto the home is the smarter option. It allows you to stay in your location while improving space, layout, and long-term value without the cost and disruption of moving.

Licensing, Permits, and Peace of Mind

DLA Design & Build operates as a licensed general contractor and manages the entire permitting process from start to finish. Homeowners do not need to coordinate with local offices or inspectors. We handle applications, scheduling, and approvals so projects move forward the right way.

All work is completed according to local building codes and inspected as required.

Warranty and Long-Term Support

We stand behind our work. All labor is covered by a one-year warranty, and material warranties are provided by the manufacturer. If an issue related to workmanship arises during the warranty period, we address it promptly and professionally.

Our goal is not just to complete a project, but to maintain a strong relationship after the work is done.

Who We Work Best With

We work best with homeowners who value quality, communication, and thoughtful planning. Many of our clients choose to renovate or expand instead of moving because they love their neighborhood and want to invest wisely in their property.

If you are looking for the cheapest option, we are likely not the right fit. If you want a professional team that manages the process properly, we are.
