Expert Home Renovation & Historic Remodeling in Washington D.C. & NoVA
Design-build expertise for D.C.'s historic rowhouses and NoVA custom homes
A Washington D.C. renovation is not a renovation anywhere else. Capitol Hill rowhouses sit in HPRB jurisdiction; Northern Virginia ADUs run into evolving zoning rules ahead of SB 531; Bethesda kitchens want luxury without losing historic charm. We are a design-build renovation contractor with in-house DCRA/DOB permit expediting and a 20-plus-year construction foreman — built to deliver complex remodels in the DMV's most demanding markets.
Why i4improvements for renovation in the DMV
Renovating in D.C. means every decision carries a layer of local nuance. HPRB review applies to anything visible from the street in a historic district. ADU zoning in Northern Virginia is shifting fast ahead of SB 531. Basement underpinning in a Capitol Hill rowhouse requires different structural math than the same job in an Arlington split-level. We're a design-build shop with in-house DCRA/DOB permit expediting — built for the complexity, not in spite of it.
