Whole-Home Remodeling in DC, Maryland & Virginia

Design-Build Whole-Home Remodeling for the DMV

A whole-home remodel is the biggest project most homeowners will ever take on — and the projects that go well are the ones where design, engineering, permitting, and construction are planned together from day one. That is exactly how Karma Construction Group works. One team, one contract, one project manager, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

We remodel homes across Washington DC, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County in Maryland, and Arlington, Fairfax and the rest of Northern Virginia — including historic rowhomes, mid-century colonials, and everything in between.

What a Whole-Home Remodel with Karma Includes

• Design & architecture — our in-house designers and architects develop the plans with you, so the design you fall in love with is one that can actually be built on your budget.
• Engineering & permitting — we prepare structural drawings and handle permit submissions with DC, Maryland, and Virginia jurisdictions ourselves. Permitting in the DMV is half the battle; it’s a core competency of ours, not an afterthought.
• Construction — our own project managers run the build with skilled crews: demolition, framing, mechanical/electrical/plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring, kitchens, baths, and finish carpentry.
• One point of contact — a dedicated project manager keeps you updated at every stage, so you always know what’s happening in your home and what comes next.

Common Whole-Home Projects We Take On

• Full interior renovations — kitchens, baths, flooring, and layout reconfiguration in one coordinated project
• Opening up floor plans — removing walls, adding structural beams, creating open kitchen/living spaces
• Second-story and rear additions combined with interior remodeling
• Historic DC rowhome renovations that respect the character of the home
• Basement build-outs, in-law suites, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
• Whole-house updates before moving in or before selling

How the Process Works

1. Free consultation — we walk the home with you, talk through goals and budget, and give you an honest read on what’s achievable.
2. Design & fixed proposal — concepts, drawings, selections, and a written scope and estimate, so there are no surprises later.
3. Engineering & permits — we produce the construction documents and manage the permit process with your jurisdiction.
4. Construction — a dedicated project manager runs the build on a published schedule, with regular updates and walk-throughs.
5. Final walkthrough & warranty — we don’t call it done until you do.

• Deep DMV permitting experience across DC, Maryland, and Virginia jurisdictions.
• In-house carpenters, designers, and project managers — not a broker passing your job to the lowest bidder.
