The parts that matter most in a bathroom are the ones you cannot see afterward. 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.
Bathrooms almost always need plumbing and electrical permits, plus a building permit if the layout moves. Two requirements catch homeowners out: GFCI protection, and exhaust ventilation that actually terminates outside the building rather than into a joist bay or an attic. Both get checked at inspection.
Your Reston 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.
Reston is a covenant community: exterior changes generally need Reston Association design review approval in addition to the Fairfax County permit. Additions, decks, siding and roofline changes all fall under it, and the design review runs on its own schedule — we start it in parallel with the permit rather than after.
Most of Reston's housing is 1960s–1980s, with a strong stock of townhomes and clustered housing. Basement finishing and kitchen updates are the most common projects, and in attached housing the party-wall and shared-system details are what determine the real scope.

Most Reston projects land in the $12k – $45k range. That is a planning range for Fairfax County, not a quote — your written price comes after a free on-site walkthrough.
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.
Because half the work is invisible. A quote that assumes your existing subfloor, supply lines and venting are all reusable will always look cheaper than one that budgets for what is actually behind the wall. We open up, look, and put the real scope in writing before you commit.
