Remodeling Across Chevy Chase's Neighborhoods

- Town of Chevy Chase: A mix of original early-1900s homes and newer builds, well suited to additions and whole-home renovations.
- Section 3 & Section 5: Bungalows, Foursquares, and Colonials on smaller lots, where thoughtful additions and kitchen expansions make the biggest difference.

Home Remodeling in Chevy Chase: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Chevy Chase?
Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services issues building permits for remodels and additions throughout Chevy Chase. Some of Chevy Chase's incorporated municipalities, including Chevy Chase Village, also require their own building permit, and the Village outlines its process in a user's guide to local permitting. We manage these permits as part of every project.
Can I remodel a home in the Chevy Chase Village Historic District?
Yes. Exterior alterations, additions, and new construction in the district need a Historic Area Work Permit reviewed by the Montgomery County Historic Preservation Commission, which applies design guidelines written for the district. Chevy Chase Village won't issue its own building permit until the county approves that work permit. Our guide to historic renovation reviews explains what to expect.
How much does home remodeling in Chevy Chase cost?
Every project is different, and cost depends on scope, size, finishes, and site conditions. We walk through budget during your initial consultation, and you can read more about our pricing and financing options.
