A whole-home renovation in the DMV is complex because the houses are old enough to have surprises — knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, load-bearing walls in unexpected places — and the permit offices are exacting. Dzala has managed full gut-and-rebuilds in Great Falls, McLean, and Potomac where every trade was involved.
We run whole-home projects under a single general contract, with one project manager, a written schedule updated weekly, and staged draws tied to milestone completions. If you are coordinating a move or a temporary rental, we plan around that schedule with you.
Why Dzala
One point of contact through the whole job
Whole-home renovations fail when the GC is only loosely managing subcontractors who do not communicate with each other. Dzala keeps key trades on staff and manages the rest directly. The schedule is ours to hold, and we hold it.
- Single contract across all trades
- Weekly written updates with photos
- Staged payment draws tied to milestones
- Manages permit offices in VA, MD, and DC
