General Contractor in Chevy Chase
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 Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services, coordinate the licensed trades, and hand you a written line-item scope before demolition starts.

Tell us the two things we need to call you back — a project manager rings you to book the free walkthrough. We work Bethesda, Kensington, Somerset and every Chevy Chase ZIP: 20815.
- A written, line-item scope for your Chevy Chase project before anyone swings a hammer
- Permits pulled through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services under MHIC #111971
- One project manager from demolition to final walkthrough
Two fields and one question. A specialist calls you back to confirm a time.
The paperwork is the part most contractors gloss over.
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 Chevy Chase permit goes through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. We pull it under our license and we hold the inspection schedule — you do not chase inspectors and you do not sign the application.
“Chevy Chase” covers several separately incorporated municipalities, and a number of them run their own building and permit review in addition to Montgomery County. Which village you are in changes who reviews your plans and what they care about — particularly for anything visible from the street.
The house decides half the scope.
The housing here is largely 1910s–1930s colonials, Tudors and Craftsman homes with plaster walls, original millwork worth protecting, and mechanical systems that have been added to rather than replaced. Kitchens and baths in these houses almost always need the electrical and plumbing rebuilt behind them, not just refinished.

Who pulls the permit for a Chevy Chase general contractor project?
We do, under our license, through the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. 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.
What should I expect in a Chevy Chase home?
The housing here is largely 1910s–1930s colonials, Tudors and Craftsman homes with plaster walls, original millwork worth protecting, and mechanical systems that have been added to rather than replaced. Kitchens and baths in these houses almost always need the electrical and plumbing rebuilt behind them, not just refinished.
What does general contractor cost in Chevy Chase?
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.
Is the Chevy Chase walkthrough and estimate free?
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.
Do I need a general contractor or can I hire trades directly?
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.
