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 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.

It depends entirely on scope, so we do not publish a single number.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