FAQ
Builder questions, answered.
Do you build custom homes from foundation up?
Yes, in MD, VA, and DC. Custom homes are scheduled separately from our remodeling pipeline — typically 12 months from engagement to final walkthrough.
What's the difference between your General Contractor and Builder services?
General Contractor covers additions, conversions, and multi-trade renovations of existing structures. Builder is ground-up new construction and ADUs.
How long does a custom home take?
28–60 weeks depending on size, finish level, and permit jurisdiction. We give you a real schedule before you sign.
