Benefits of Exterior Remodeling in McLean

Give Your Exterior a Fresh Look

New paving, brick, stone, and masonry can create a more polished appearance around your home. Exterior features can be coordinated with existing landscaping and architectural details for a consistent look.

Increase Outdoor Usability

A new patio, walkway, or driveway can make exterior areas easier to use. Well-planned spaces can provide practical areas for parking, outdoor gatherings, relaxation, and access.

Maintain Exterior Surfaces

Outdoor surfaces experience foot traffic, vehicle use, moisture, and changing weather. Proper materials and installation can help maintain the function of driveways, patios, walkways, and other exterior features.

Restore Worn Areas

Cracked masonry, deteriorating paving, and damaged exterior features can affect both appearance and usability. Repairs or replacement can help restore areas that no longer meet the property's needs.

Improve Connections Around Your Property

Driveways and walkways can create clearer routes between entrances, parking areas, patios, and other outdoor spaces. A thoughtful layout can make movement around the property more convenient.

Create Consistent Exterior Features

Different exterior elements can be planned to work together through complementary materials and layouts. Brick, stone, concrete, asphalt, and other surfaces can be selected to suit the existing property.

    John and his team replaced our back brick stairs that were falling apart. They were able to create a new set of stairs that matched our old pavers much better than the previous stairs. They were able to re-grade/level our patio so that it now sits flat. The grading before prevented us from being able to sit our table flat without wobbling. Lastly they provided a new walkway into our backyard. We love the new look and functionality.

    Mike and his crew did a terrific job! He gave us a good price on the job, explained everything ahead of time, and carried it out as promised (and even more, throwing in a couple of extras). They arrived on time, completed everything as promised, cleaned up as they went! Mike personally supervised and followed up on each stage. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Onyx, and certainly would call on them if we had another project.

    The Onyx team was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The owner showed up within an hour after my posting. The brick front stoop was a mess, made worse by an incomplete repair. Onyx quoted a good price. The work was completed skillfully and efficiently. Customer service was first-rate throughout. We now have the best-looking, best built brick steps to our front door that we could have hoped for. I recommend Onyx without reservation.

    I’m extremely happy with my new paver walkway! The workmanship is excellent, and the project turned out even better than I imagined. The crew was professional, timely, and paid attention to every detail — from the layout and leveling to the final cleanup. The walkway looks beautiful, adds great curb appeal, and feels very solid underfoot. I highly recommend Onyx to anyone looking for quality paver work.

    Had a great experience with Onyx replacing and widening our driveway. They also replaced our front entry steps. John Cash walked us through the process and then kept us informed of the next steps as the actual work was progressing. The crew was very professional and we are very happy with the finished product. Will definitely use again for any future projects.

    Onyx leveled our paver patio for us after roots caused the pavers to lift up and be a danger to us. We are older and more likely to be injured if we fall. They dug out the roots and about 4 inches of dirt, repaired the broken drainage pipe underneath, leveled the foundation, added bluestone then put back our pavers and added a few new ones. They also built a small wall around the flower bed. The whole effect is quite stunning. They changed the pattern along the side as well making it more pleasing to the eye. We are quite happy with the result.
