You are choosing who runs the job, not shopping a single trade. We are a licensed contractor in Virginia (Class A #2705183185) — we pull the permits through Fairfax County Land Development Services, 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 Falls Church permit goes through Fairfax County Land Development 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.
This is the one worth getting right: the City of Falls Church is an independent city with its own permit office, but a large number of “Falls Church” mailing addresses are actually in Fairfax County. Which side of that line you are on decides where your permit goes and who inspects the work. We confirm it before anything is filed.
The area is largely 1940s–1960s capes, ramblers and colonials with newer infill throughout. On the original houses, expect the electrical service and plumbing to need attention as part of any kitchen or bath scope.

It depends entirely on scope, so we do not publish a single number.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.
