Classic Cottages LLC

You will be left with loose ends and feeling tired if you choose to stand your ground because the warranty manager pushes back and will just try to wear you down and leave you to hire someone else to fix the issues you inherit after spending a lot on your new build. If you want this experience in N. Arlington there are homes being built, one on Washington Boulevard and another on N. Powhatan.

We designed and built our new home with Classic Cottages in North Arlington. The entire experience from start to finish was wonderful! The CC team was dedicated to making sure that we got exactly what we wanted and that our new home was delivered on time. The quality of the workmanship is top-notch and everyone we worked with was responsive and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Classic Cottages and would (and have!) recommended them to anyone looking to design/build a home in the area.

My wife and I found Classic by driving through Arlington and looking for homes that we admired. But when it came time to select a builder for our lot, what sold us on Classic was the great attentiveness from Pierce and his team, and the feeling that they were going to go above and beyond to satisfy us. It’s a long time to work with a builder to get a new home up, and to work through any problems (at every point along the way) and get them resolved. We felt comfortable with Classic right away, and they never did anything to change our minds about the decision. One thing we appreciated was that they had their own in-house architect, who worked with us through several iterations of the design to come up with something striking and perfectly suited to our needs. Their designer, too, was a great help in guiding us through all the decisions we had to make. The house came in on schedule, as promised, and without going over budget. The house itself is phenomenal. The quality of the construction and the design shines through everywhere, and we couldn’t be happier. And after moving in, we found the process of working through the (small) punch-list items to be painless, because of the great work by Classic’s team. We highly recommend them.

We have worked with Classic Cottages on a number of projects. They have always been dedicated to customer service while being friendly, professional and fun to work with! We highly recommend this company for your next project!

The Classic Cottages team was excellent to work with and we would highly recommend them. Their homes are beautifully design and very well constructed with attention to detail. Ever member of their team from the VP of Sales, Architect, Site Superintend, and President were extremely responsive, professional, and went the extra mile to address questions or issues. Since we entered into a contract on our house when it was about 85% completed, they were extremely flexible and thoughtful in making decisions on items that we could customize. Most importantly, throughout the whole process we felt they were very knowledgeable, fair, open, and honest.

We were searching for a single-family home in Arlington that blended a modern, open-concept layout with some traditional rooms (like a formal dining room) as well. We called Pierce Tracy of Classic Cottages because we thought their homes suited our needs, and we met him him and their architect at one of their completed homes. They were both incredibly professional and friendly, and though we liked the home we saw, we were looking for a home in a different neighborhood. Pierce told us that they were completing a new-build in our desired neighborhood, and they took us on a hard-hat tour. Although the house was only 70% complete at the time we saw it we knew new that it was going to be a beautiful house, and we put in an offer right away. The completed house is even better than what we expected. It is thoughtfully designed with a sense of elegance and functionality. The quality of the finishes, and the workmanship are impeccable. We've toured other new-build open houses in our neighborhood, and we've noticed that the quality of the work done in our house is superior to any of the other homes we have seen. From a design perspective, they manage to blend some modern design elements with a timeless look, and even though our house is large, none of the rooms feel out of scale and everything feels cozy. We also incredibly happy with our relationship with Classic Cottages. They have been very responsive when there were issues at our 3-month and 11-month walk-thru. It's always a pleasure meeting with Evan and Rocky when they bring their team to fix those minor issues. Every day we feel lucky that we live in a Classic Cottages home, and highly recommend them to anyone.

It has been a pleasure to have Classic Cottages as the builder of our home. They have been responsive and helpful whenever an issue has arisen. They value customer service and strive to keep their buyers happy. We feel we are in good hands having purchased our home from them.

We purchased our first home with Classic Cottages and we couldn't be happier! Our special thanks to Pierce who patiently worked with us the entire time. The house is gorgeous and we love every detail. We recently had our housewarming and our friends gushed at how beautiful the house is. We will definitely look to Classic Cottages first for the purchase of our next home.

I have worked for Classic Cottages since March of 2011 staging their beautiful homes. I love seeing all the beautiful, up to date finishes that have been chosen by them and the interesting floor-plans they come up with. They put a lot of thought and care into each of their homes and it shows. The quality of their work is outstanding.

We purchased a new construction home from Classic Cottages in May 2015. The house is gorgeous - the quality of the construction and the design details are top notch and we could not be happier with our home. Plus, from the first time we toured the house (about 2 months before it would be finished) until today (a few weeks after we closed), everyone at Classic Cottages has been a true pleasure to work with - from the owner of the company, to the finance office, to the folks in the field, to their contractors. Per our request, there were a few aesthetic details to be finished after we moved in, and everyone has been courteous and thoughtful in finishing things up. It became clear to us pretty quickly that the personal relationship with Classic Cottages does not stop at closing - since we closed, Classic Cottages has been gracious and patient in helping us learn everything about the house and provide any assistance when we've needed it. Two sets of our new neighbors have even told us how professional and respectful of the neighborhood that Classic Cottages was during the construction of our house. Classic Cottages is a class act and we highly recommend them.

We have worked with Classic Cottages on several projects over the last few years and we have always found them to be professional, courteous, responsive, and friendly! We recommend them for any of your remodeling needs!

Classic Cottages recently completed a total renovation of our house from the foundation up with an exceptional level of quality. The renovation was completed in a timely manner while even meeting our requests for change orders. The architect, Ken Marzullo and design staff with Chris Young, listened well and were very creative in interpreting what we wanted. Additionally, while we felt that our input was very welcomed, we truly appreciated Ken’s recommendations and explanations regarding several aspects of the design from practical perspectives that we had not considered, rather than simply doing what we asked. As construction started, Ken seemed to oversee our project with the same level of thoughtfulness and care that he would in his own home in terms of identifying enhancements and making adjustments as the project progressed; in essence, Ken not only did what he said he was going to do but even more. With respect to the sub-contractors, the field superintendents did an exceptional job of coordinating the work of numerous tradesmen so that there was very minimal down time. Quality control during the course of construction was excellent; for example, 90% of the items that we noted for attention were addressed by Classic Cottages before we even mentioned them. Classic Cottages well exceeded our expectations; in fact, Classic Cottages will be the first company that we will consider for our next new home or renovation as well as the company that we will highly recommend to others.
