You are choosing who runs the job, not shopping a single trade. We are a licensed contractor in Maryland (MHIC #111971) — we pull the permits through the Anne Arundel County Department of Inspections and Permits, coordinate the licensed trades, and hand you a written line-item scope before demolition starts.
A whole-home renovation usually needs a building permit plus separate electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits — each with its own inspection, each on its own timeline. Pulling them is not the hard part; sequencing them so no trade is standing around waiting for an inspector is.
Your Annapolis permit goes through the Anne Arundel County Department of Inspections and Permits. We pull it under our license and we hold the inspection schedule — you do not chase inspectors and you do not sign the application.
The City of Annapolis issues its own permits for properties inside the city, and the historic district adds a preservation review for exterior changes. Outside the city limits, permits go through Anne Arundel County instead. Which applies to you is the first thing we confirm.
Annapolis ranges from 18th- and 19th-century houses downtown to mid-century and newer housing outside the historic district. Downtown, expect masonry, plaster and structural surprises; the written scope after the walkthrough is the only number worth planning around.

It depends entirely on scope, so we do not publish a single number. You get a written, line-item price after a free on-site walkthrough — not a verbal ballpark over the phone.
Yes. The walkthrough and the written scope are free and yours to keep whether or not you hire us. There is no design fee and no consultation invoice.
You can hire trades directly, and for a single-trade job that is often cheaper. It stops being cheaper the moment two trades have to be sequenced around an inspection — someone has to own that schedule, and if it is not a contractor it is you. A licensed GC also carries the permit and the liability.
